HeartClear™ by Atlanta Heart Specialists

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in America, but many people don't understand their risk. A 15-minute, non-invasive heart scan could save your life.

HeartCLEAR™ is a simple way to detect heart disease early—before symptoms begin.

Get clear answers with a coronary artery calcium (CAC) scan.

What is a CAC Scan, and Why Does It Matter?

A CAC scan is a specialized, non-invasive CT scan that detects calcium deposits in your coronary arteries. These deposits are an early sign of plaque buildup, which increases your risk of heart attack or stroke—even if you feel perfectly healthy.

  • Quick: Just 15 minutes start to finish
  • Simple: No prep. No needles. No downtime.
  • Smart: Detects early risk of heart attack or stroke—even if you feel fine
You'll get a calcium score which tells you how much plaque is present—and what action you may need to take to reduce your risk. Think of it as a mammogram for your heart.

It’s fast. It’s easy. And it could save your life.

Who Should Get a HeartCLEAR™ CAC Scan?

You may benefit from a calcium score test if:

  • You're a man age 45+ or a woman age 55+
  • You have high blood pressure
  • You have high cholesterol
  • You have diabetes or pre-diabetes
  • You're overweight or don't exercise regularly
  • You smoke or used to smoke
  • You live a high-stress lifestyle
  • You have a family history of heart disease
  • You've never had a heart screening

What Your Score Means

Your heart score ranges from 0 to 400+—and each number tells a story

  • Score: 0
    No visible calcium. This means your risk is low. Keep living heart-healthy and consider retesting in 5–10 years.
  • Score: 1–99
    A small amount of plaque is present. This may indicate early risk. Lifestyle changes are key, and your doctor may recommend starting medications like statins.
  • Score: 100–299
    Moderate plaque buildup means your risk is higher. Your provider may suggest additional testing, medications, and closer monitoring.
  • Score: 300+
    Significant plaque is present, which puts you at high risk for a heart attack or stroke. Advanced testing and a more active prevention plan may be needed.
Your calcium score is the first step. We'll help you make the next one, which may include:

  • Helping you understand your score
  • Guiding you toward healthier lifestyle choices
  • Connecting you with cardiovascular care if needed

Why Early Detection Matters

  • 1 in 5 heart attacks occur without any symptoms
  • 50% of people who die from heart disease had no prior diagnosis
  • Most traditional checkups don’t detect calcified plaque
  • A CAC scan can uncover risks years before problems begin

You can’t manage an illness if you don’t know you have it. HeartCLEAR™ gives you the answers early.
