SRMC CAC test available
Beginning today, Salem Regional Medical Center will offer a quick, Coronary Artery Calcium Score (CAC) test to help adults understand their risk for heart disease. This simple CT scan measures calcium in the heart’s arteries and provides an Agatston Score, which is a key indicator of heart health.
The test is available for a self-pay price of $99, since insurance typically does not cover it for people without symptoms of heart disease.
Who Should Consider This Test:
Men age 40 and older
Women age 45 and older
Adults with a borderline or intermediate risk for heart disease
The scan takes only a few minutes and uses no contrast, which means that no dye is used, thus eliminating the need for an IV injection.
“These CT scan results can give you and your provider a clearer understanding of your heart health; helping you choose the most effective steps to protect it,” explained Peter Apicella, M.D., Chief Radiologist at Salem Regional Medical Center.
A provider’s referral is needed to schedule the screening. For information, contact Central Scheduling at 330-332-7300 at Salem Regional Medical Center.
