Coronary Artery Calcification

Coronary artery calcification refers to the buildup of calcium deposits in the arteries that supply blood to the heart. It is a marker of atherosclerosis, a condition characterized by the accumulation of plaque in the arteries. Coronary artery calcification can be detected and quantified through imaging techniques such as a coronary calcium scan. Higher levels of calcification are associated with an increased risk of heart disease and cardiovascular events. Risk factors management include adoption of a healthy lifestyle and appropriate medical treatment.
