Why Knowing Your Score Matters

You can’t feel calcium building up in your arteries—but that buildup is one of the first signs of heart disease.

A coronary artery calcium (CAC) score gives you a clear picture of your heart health, so you and your doctor can make a plan that protects you.

  • 1 in 5 heart attacks happen with no warning
  • A CAC score shows risk early, before symptoms show up
  • The test is fast, easy, non-invasive, and only $99

Even if you feel fine, knowing your heart score helps you make informed decisions about your health.

Nothing but great service

Great bedside manner, very patient and will explain everything to you. After going to another popular heart doctor here in Rock Hill and never getting answers to health issues, we made the switch to Carolina Heart Specialists and things have been onward and upward.
