Free heart calcium scan program at University Hospitals
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study is looking at people who already received a free coronary artery calcium (CAC) CT scan through a community screening program at University Hospitals. It may help the hospital understand who benefits from offering these no-cost scans.
