Coronary Calcium Score / Preventive Cardiology Workup

Cardiovascular risk assessment centered on a coronary artery calcium (CAC) CT score, often bundled with CT angiography, advanced lipids, ECG/echo, and carotid ultrasound to detect subclinical atherosclerosis and guide prevention.

Evidence

established

Coronary calcium scoring is well-validated for refining cardiovascular risk and guiding statin/prevention decisions per major cardiology guidelines, so the underlying prevent-heart-disease claim is strongly evidence-based.

Regulatory notes

European Union
CT scanning is regulated (ionizing radiation, licensed facilities under EU radiation-protection rules); CAC scoring is a recognized, physician-ordered test.
United States
FDA-cleared CT and an established, guideline-endorsed test (ACC/AHA); frequently offered self-pay at longevity clinics.
