Coronary Artery Calcification (CAC) Causes, Diagnosis & Treatment Discussed by Dr. Seshi Vardhan Janjirala

PACE Hospitals

Coronary Artery Calcification (CAC) occurs when calcium deposits build up in the walls of coronary arteries, narrowing or blocking blood flow. This condition is often linked to aging, high cholesterol, hypertension, diabetes, and smoking. Symptoms may include chest pain, shortness of breath, and an increased risk of heart attacks. A CAC scan helps detect and assess the severity of calcification. Treatment involves lifestyle changes, medications for cholesterol and blood pressure management, and procedures like angioplasty or stenting in severe cases. Finding it at early stage and proper care are crucial in preventing complications.
