Cardiac Score Test: The Simple Heart Screening That Could Save Your Life


Listen Later

A cardiac score is a quick heart screening detecting early signs of heart disease, even in people who feel completely healthy. In this episode, doctors from The University of Kansas Health System explain how a CardioScore test works, who should consider getting one, and why early detection can be so important. Cardiac score educator Kaye Ness joins us to explain what the test measures and how it helps identify risk for coronary artery disease. We also hear from Catherine Jacobson, whose story shows how one simple screening helped uncover a serious heart issue and changed the way she looks at her health. Additionally, Dr. Richard Korentager discusses Journavx. A new non-opioid pain relief option changing how doctors treat moderate to severe acute pain in adults. The episode also highlights a special partnership with the Kansas City Current. Through the Goals for Heart initiative, every KC Current goal helps support access to cardiac scores for women, helping remove barriers to preventive heart care.
