  • The Cardiac CT calcium score (CAC score) is a noninvasive test used to detect calcified plaques in coronary arteries and predict heart disease risk. Scores range from 0 (no risk) to above 300 (high risk).

The article from MSN discusses the importance of the CT Calcium Score test for marathon runners. It highlights that while marathon running is beneficial for cardiovascular health, it can also lead to increased coronary artery calcium (CAC) scores, which might indicate early signs of heart disease. The CT Calcium Score test measures the amount of calcified plaque in the coronary arteries, providing an early warning of potential heart issues. This test is particularly crucial for marathoners because, despite their high fitness levels, they can still develop atherosclerosis. The article explains that a high CAC score could necessitate further medical evaluation and lifestyle adjustments, even in seemingly healthy athletes. It emphasizes the need for marathoners to be aware of this test as part of their regular health check-ups to ensure their heart health is monitored and maintained.
