With 32% of all fatalities attributed to heart disease, it is clearly the top killer in the world. But that doesn’t mean people can’t do anything about their condition; they can lower their chance by taking certain steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to specialists, a specialized assessment called the coronary artery calcium (CAC) score<\/a> may help identify early indicators of heart disease, in addition to adopting healthy lifestyle practices. Manhattan Cardiology’s founder and board-certified cardiologist, Dr. Robert Segal <\/a>says that a specialized CT scan called the CAC score may evaluate calcium accumulation in the walls of the heart’s arteries. A higher score indicates that there is more calcium in the arteries, which in turn increases the risk of cardiac problems such as heart attacks and strokes. Read the article.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
