Hendricks Regional Health is committed to providing low-cost, life-saving screening opportunities to our community. Read on for more information on heart scan qualifications and why they are vitally important to your health.
Heart scans provide early detection of heart disease, even when symptoms may not be present. A heart scan takes pictures of your heart's arteries, allowing physicians to check for coronary artery disease, which occurs when plaque builds up in the arteries. These scans are quick and painless, lasting about 15 minutes.
If you are at low risk of a heart attack, or if you have already had a heart attack or coronary heart disease treatment, a heart scan may not be effective. For example, if you are under 40, don't smoke and have normal cholesterol and blood pressure, a heart scan is not necessary. If you've had a heart attack in the past, a heart scan will not provide any new information about your treatment plan that your physician won't already know.
The above criteria are recommended but not required for scheduling a heart scan.
Connect with the inspiring stories of those in our community who have experienced the benefits and outcomes of getting a heart scan. These patients took action with early detection, stopping heart disease in its tracks.
