Coronary Calcium Scoring and Heart Disease Screening
As a starting point, this is a procedure usually performed on men over 35 and women over 45. Those in younger age brackets typically don’t have a need for the scan, although everything varies on a case by case basis. Also, a patient asked to undergo this evaluation usually presents some kind of risk factor, such as a family history of heart disease, elevated cholesterol, obesity, high blood pressure, etc. Meet the Doctor You’ll be in good hands if you opt for Beverly Hills Cardiovascular, as the practice is led by experienced cardiologist Dr. David Filsoof. Dr. Filsoof brings more than a decade of practice experience and a professional yet courteous and understanding manner to each patient he serves. Of course, every doctor needs a talented team filling all of the important roles in the office, and you’ll be impressed with their work, as well.
