Coronary Calcium Score in Frankfurt

Non-contrast cardiac CT to quantify coronary artery calcification using the Agatston scoring method. Evidence from a 14,000-patient retrospective study shows calcium scoring predicts individual heart attack risk more precisely than cholesterol, blood pressure, or body weight alone. A score of zero effectively excludes significant near-term cardiac risk. Scores above 100 or 400 indicate progressive benefit from preventive statin therapy. No contrast injection. Q1-certified cardiac CT specialist on team.

Non-contrast cardiac CT to quantify coronary artery calcification using the Agatston scoring method. One of the most validated non-invasive predictors of future cardiovascular events. A score of zero is highly reassuring and may spare patients unnecessary statin therapy; elevated scores guide preventive treatment decisions. No contrast injection required. Performed at Radiologie am Turm by a team with deep expertise in cardiac and thoracic imaging. Results discussed in person with the radiologist.
