Why heart screening matters

Heart screening can involve different tests depending on your situation—such as labs, imaging, or exercise testing— to evaluate heart structure, function, and risk before symptoms occur. (See: Cleveland Clinic, NIH/NHLBI.)

  • Coronary artery calcium (CAC) scans can show calcium deposits in coronary arteries and help refine risk assessment. American Heart Association
  • Coronary calcium scanning is often used to help understand risk—especially when risk is uncertain. Mayo Clinic
  • Heart tests may include noninvasive imaging like cardiac CT, used to evaluate the heart and blood vessels. NIH/NHLBI
Additional references: Cleveland Clinic (Heart Screening) • RadiologyInfo (Cardiac Screening) • AHA (Cardiac CT)

What the Cardiax Test Evaluates

Cardiovascular assessments may include a combination of clinical history, vital signs, lab testing, and—when appropriate— imaging-based screening to clarify risk and guide preventive care. Screening choices depend on your personal risk factors, symptoms, and family history. (NIH/NHLBI; Cleveland Clinic)

Common goals of testing

  • Clarify cardiovascular risk when risk is unclear
  • Identify early signs of coronary artery disease (CAD) when appropriate
  • Support a prevention plan (nutrition, activity, stress, medical management)
  • Track improvements over time with measurable markers
Heart screening can include multiple test types, including blood tests, imaging, and exercise-based testing, depending on your needs. (Cleveland Clinic)

Examples of evidence-based tools (when appropriate)

  • Coronary artery calcium (CAC) scan to assess calcified plaque burden (AHA, Mayo Clinic)
  • Cardiac CT / CT angiography to visualize heart/vessels in specific situations (AHA)
  • Clinical evaluation + labs (lipids, glucose, inflammation markers as indicated)
  • Blood pressure + lifestyle review for prevention planning
Your plan is individualized—testing is selected based on clinical context, not “one-size-fits-all.”

What to Expect

Your visit typically starts with a detailed review of symptoms, history, and risk factors. If additional testing is recommended, we’ll explain why it’s being ordered, how to prepare, and what the results may mean for your prevention plan.

Preparation (varies by test)

  • Bring a medication/supplement list
  • Bring recent labs/imaging if available
  • Follow any fasting instructions if labs are ordered
  • For imaging, follow the facility’s prep steps
Screening prep differs based on the specific test used. (RadiologyInfo; Cleveland Clinic)

Results + next steps

  • Review results in plain language
  • Create a personalized prevention strategy
  • Recommend follow-up timeframe based on risk
  • Coordinate additional care when needed
Imaging-based tests can help guide prevention decisions when used appropriately. (Mayo Clinic; AHA)

Frequently Asked Questions

Evidence-informed answers with credible medical references.

Cardiax is a cardiovascular risk-assessment service that helps evaluate heart-health risk and guide prevention. Depending on your situation, this may involve clinical evaluation, labs, and/or appropriate screening tests. Sources: Cleveland Clinic (Heart Screening) • NIH/NHLBI (Heart Tests)
People with risk factors (family history, elevated cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking history, or unclear risk) may benefit from a discussion about screening options. The right test depends on your overall risk profile. Sources: Mayo Clinic (Coronary Calcium Scan) • AHA (CAC Test)
A CAC test is a type of heart scan that uses CT imaging to look for calcium deposits in the coronary arteries. The amount of calcium can help estimate the likelihood of coronary artery disease and inform prevention decisions. Sources: American Heart Association • Mayo Clinic
Cardiac CT techniques can be used to evaluate the heart and blood vessels in specific clinical situations. Whether it’s appropriate depends on symptoms, risk factors, and prior test results. Sources: American Heart Association (Cardiac CT) • NIH/NHLBI (Heart Tests)
Preparation depends on what testing is ordered. Bring your medication list and prior records. If labs are ordered, you may be asked to fast. If imaging is ordered, follow the radiology facility’s instructions. Sources: RadiologyInfo (Cardiac Screening) • Cleveland Clinic (Heart Screening)
