Heart attacks are the
leading cause of death in the United States. Coronary Artery Disease
(CAD) is the cause of most heart attacks. Early detection of CAD allows
for treatment and lifestyle changes, which can stop the progression of
the disease.
Clearview Medical Imaging
now has a Philips 64 Slice CT scanner, which allows us to do a fast
noninvasive screening test called CT Coronary Artery Calcium Test.
CT Coronary Artery Calcium
Test detects the amount of calcium in your arteries. This quick noninvasive test will give you a score,
which will help determine your likelihood of having a coronary artery
blockage. A high score can indicate a significant risk for future heart
attacks. You can have significant calcium in your coronary arteries and
not yet have any symptoms.
For $99.00, can you afford not to have the test?
There are no needles and
no injections and the study takes approximately 15 minutes.

American Heart Association
Important: To get the $99.00 rate
you must pay at the time of service. You must have a physician who
agrees in advance to receive the report of the findings.
We will not file
insurance but will give you a receipt with the procedure code. (Most
insurance plans do not cover this screening test).
