What is the best way to find out whether a heart attack is imminent ?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Risk factors such as obesity, high cholesterol levels and high blood pressure are clearly associated with an increased risk of heart attack – as the Framingham study has shown. This applies to population groups. But not necessarily in individual cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was already clear around 20 years ago that the detection of deposits (atherosclerotic plaques) in the coronary arteries can predict an individual’s risk of heart attack – better than any other parameter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cardio-CT provides precise information about deposits in your coronary arteries. With the help of the so-called calcification or Agatston score, the deposits can be quantified and the risk of suffering a heart attack within the next few years can be predicted relatively precisely – and whether preventive therapy should be initiated.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
