Heart Scan Services We Offer

Heart Scan – $140

Calcium Score. Using a CT scanner, this tests for calcium buildup of plaque on the walls of the arteries. It is used to detect coronary artery disease and, if present, can determine the severity.

Heart Scan Plus – $205

This combination package includes the heart scan and the vascular screening.

Vascular Screening – $120

Carotid Artery Screening – Blood vessels are checked for blockages using ultrasound.

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Screening – Using ultrasound, this test focuses on the abdominal aorta and checks for thinning or ballooning, either of which could suggest a potential rupture.

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) Screening – Blood pressure cuffs are placed on the ankles to evaluate blood flow in the legs.

Vascular Age Screening (CIMT-Carotid Intimal Thickness) – $120

Using ultrasound, the thickness of the arteries is measured to produce a risk assessment that estimates the vascular age of your arteries. Blood vessels are also checked for blockages.
