When are the results of heart scan available?

As soon as the procedure is done, the coronary calcium score is calculated. The results are usually available immediately after the procedure. If your coronary calcium is high, you will be told to change your lifestyle . in some cases, you maybe told to undergo a coronary angiogram to properly assess the degree of narrowing in the coronary vessels. However, consumers should understand that the heart scan is not 100% sensitive for coronary disease. The test may be negative and you may still have coronary disease. On the other hand, the test may show calcium but that does not mean you have heart disease.
