Cardiac scoring allows your doctor to find out how much of this buildup is present so they can recommend the appropriate next step to ensure your overall health.<br \/>Cardiac scoring is a painless procedure that takes less than 10 minutes of your time. Using CAT scan technology, the team at Health Images takes about 70 to 90 images of your coronary arteries to determine your cardiac score. If calcium or plaque is present in your coronary arteries, the test also helps us figure out how much there is and where it\u2019s located.<br \/>The coronary arteries supply oxygen-rich blood to your heart, and when you have a buildup of fat or other substances under the inner layer of these arteries, the result is plaque. When this material calcifies, it could indicate coronary artery disease (CAD), a condition that increases the risk of heart attack in patients. Plaque buildup can also narrow the arteries, cutting off blood flow to the heart which can also result in a heart attack.\"\n    }\n    }, {\n    \"@type\": \"Question\",\n    \"name\": \"How to Prepare for a Cardiac Scoring Procedure\",\n    \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n      \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n      \"text\": \"Not much preparation is needed before undergoing a cardiac scoring-CAT scan procedure. You will be asked to refrain from smoking and caffeine for at least four hours before the exam. If there\u2019s a chance you are pregnant, be sure to let us know ahead of time.<br \/>On the day of your cardiac scoring procedure, it\u2019s advisable to wear loose-fitting and comfortable clothes. You may be asked to wear medical scrubs (top and pants) or a hospital gown. Be sure to remove all metal objects like jewelry, eyeglasses, hairpins and the like, as these might affect your CAT scan\u2019s images.\"\n    }\n    }]\n  }<\/p>\n<p><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"parent":23,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Cardiac Scoring-CAT Scan Procedure | Health Images<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"We provide cardiac scoring in Denver and the surrounding areas.
