After the Procedure
You may continue all normal activities and eat as usual after the test.
Interpretation of results:
- The CT scan and its computer program will determine the number and density of calcified coronary plaques in the coronary arteries.
- A calcium score is provided.
- Your results will be examined and reviewed.
- The team will evaluate the calcium score, along with other risk factor measurements (risk factor evaluation, blood pressure, lipid analysis), to determine your risk for future coronary artery disease and will make recommendations regarding your lifestyle, medications or additional cardiac testing.
You and your primary care physician will receive the full report outlining your risk assessment and follow-up recommendations.
