The Medical Center at Scottsville is now offering $49 Cardiac Scoring
The Medical Center at Scottsville is now offering $49 cardiac scoring scans to the Allen County-Scottsville community. Cardiac scoring is a quick, painless, and non-invasive CT scan that detects calcium buildup in the arteries and helps assess your risk for heart disease. These scans take less than 10 minutes and require no injections.
Calcium deposits in the arteries harden over time, restricting blood flow and increasing risk of heart attack and stroke. The higher your calcium score, the greater your risk. But early detection allows for lifestyle changes and treatment options to reduce your chances of heart disease.
Heart disease remains the #1 cause of death for both men and women, often developing silently over time. Cardiac scoring is recommended for men age 40+ and women age 45+. This also includes individuals with one or more risk factors for heart disease, including:
- Family history of heart disease
- High cholesterol
- History of smoking
- High blood pressure
- Diabetes
- Sedentary lifestyle
- Obesity/overweight
Even if you feel healthy, hidden risks could be present. A simple scan provides clarity and peace of mind. To schedule, call The Medical Center at Scottsville at 270-622-2872. To learn more, visit MedCenterHealth.org/CardiacScoring
Cardiac scoring scans are also available for $49 at The Medical Centers at Albany, Bowling Green, Russellville, and Scottsville, as well as Med Center Health Glasgow.
