Bothwell To Offer Free Heart Score Screenings
February is American Heart Month, and Bothwell Regional Health Center and Bothwell Foundation have again partnered to provide free cardiac calcium or heart score screenings Feb. 6, 13 and 20.
A cardiac calcium screening is a special type of noninvasive computed tomography (CT) scan that shows if calcium deposits are present and how many. Calcium deposits in the form of plaque build up in the arteries and restrict blood flow to the heart, putting people at risk for heart attacks and coronary artery disease.
Marc Dougherty, Bothwell Medical Imaging director, said the scan detects calciumcardiac deposits in, on or near heart vessels. The screening result is a “score” that reflects the total area of calcium deposits, and a higher score means a higher risk of heart disease.
