how how can calcium heart score b?
When you have a heart scan, you are given an overall number called the Calcium Score, or Agatston Score, which represents the total amount of plaque in your coronary arteries. The number can range from 0 to 1,000 or more. The higher your number, the more plaque you have in your arteries and the greater your risk. If your score is more than 400, for example, you have an increased likelihood of developing symptomatic heart disease â angina, heart attack, or even sudden death â in the next 2 to 5 years.
