Free CAC Scan Guide
A Coronary Artery Calcium scan, often called a CAC scan, is a simple imaging test that looks for calcium buildup in the arteries that supply blood to the heart.
This guide was created to help patients, families, and caregivers better understand what a CAC scan is, why it may be ordered, what the score may mean, and how the results can help guide a conversation with a healthcare provider.
This Real Nurse Advocate™ guide explains CAC scans in plain language, including what the test does, what it does not show, common score ranges, lifestyle steps that may support heart health, and questions to ask your doctor before and after testing.
