Calcium Scoring
Learn MoreCalcium Scoring
A calcium score test (calcium scoring) is a noninvasive, low-risk heart scan used to find out more about your risk of heart disease. Along with other tests, such as blood pressure, blood glucose and cholesterol screenings, calcium scoring can be an important tool for your heart health.

Interventional Cardiology Procedures
A stent is a small metal coil or mesh tube that is placed in a narrow artery through a catheter (a long, thin tube) to help improve blood flow to your heart. The stent permanently holds the passageway open and helps reduce the rate of restenosis (renarrowing) of the artery.
"ICD" is an abbreviation for Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator. An ICD delivers therapies to treat life-threatening heart rhythm disorders, such as VT (Ventricular Tachycardia) and VF (Ventricular Fibrillation). The ICD is implanted inside your body and works automatically.
