🫀 Your Heart’s Health, Clearly Pictured.
Heart disease is often called a "silent" condition because plaque can build up in your arteries without any warning signs. But you don't have to wait for a symptom to take action.
At Blue Ridge Regional Hospital, we’re here to help you and your doctor get a clearer window into your cardiovascular health. Our CT Calcium Scoring is a fast, non-invasive scan that measures calcium deposits in your coronary arteries—providing a "score" that helps you and your provider predict your risk of heart disease before it becomes a problem.
Why discuss a Calcium Score with your doctor?
• Clearer Answers: Move beyond standard blood pressure and cholesterol numbers for a more complete picture.
• Personalized Care: A "score" helps your provider tailor a heart-health plan specifically for you.
• Fast & Simple: No needles, no dyes, and the scan itself takes less than 15 minutes.
The First Step: We encourage you to start a conversation with your primary care provider this month. If they determine this screening is right for you, they can provide the necessary order for our imaging team.
Connect With Our Team: Once you have your provider’s order, our scheduling team is ready to assist: 📞 Scheduling: 844-902-3810
For questions regarding your visit or for a service estimate, our team is here to help: 📋 Patient Resource Line: 833-634-6306

Do you know what your numbers mean? They can reveal far more about your health than you might think. Blood pressure naturally rises and falls throughout the day, but when it stays high, your risk rises too. 📈 Nearly half of Americans have high blood pressure, often with no symptoms – that’s why high blood pressure is known as the “silent killer.”
