Vital Heart & Vein - Beating Heart Disease

Understanding your heart’s calcium score, why it’s important

Feb 19, 2025 | Heart Disease, Videos

When you think about health numbers, you probably consider blood pressure, cholesterol, and weight. But have you ever thought about checking the calcium in your arteries?
Dr. Khaled Khalaf, a cardiologist with Vital Heart & Vein, spoke with Melissa Wilson at FOX 26 Houston about how a coronary calcium test plus contrast can help assess the risk of heart disease.
It could save your life. It provides a clearer picture of plaque buildup in the arteries, something traditional tests may not always detect.
Knowing your calcium score means knowing your risk. Take action and take control of your heart health.
