What Is a HeartView Scan?

The 10-minute HeartView scan is a non-invasive scan of the heart that may save lives by detecting heart disease long before symptoms occur. This non-invasive screening exam is performed on our 64-slice CT scanner and enables doctors to see the tiniest plaque buildup in the coronary arteries (the arteries nearest to your heart).

People who are likely to benefit from the HeartView scan are those who:

  • Have a family history of stroke or heart disease
  • Have diabetes
  • Are 20 pounds or more overweight
  • Smoke
  • Have high cholesterol
  • Are over 45 (males) and over 55 (females)

Call 1-800-313-0725 to register for your HeartView Screening!

Calcium Scoring for Coronary Arteries

Interventional radiologists at Southwest General Hospital offer a special $99 calcium scoring scan, which may detect coronary artery disease, one of the leading factors behind heart disease. This test uses a special type of x-ray, known as computed tomography. 

If your coronary arteries have calcium deposits built up within the arterial walls, then you may have coronary artery disease. A CT scan – when used in this way – may detect calcium buildup. If the blockage is severe enough, you may see a cardiologist for diagnosis and treatment. If your test results indicate little to no calcium buildup, then you may have the peace of mind knowing that your coronary arteries are in good health. 

To schedule your coronary calcium screening at Southwest General Hospital, call 1-800-313-0725 today. No physician referral is required. $99 pricing is for a limited time only. Your health is too important to pass up this screening.
