A blood calcium test is ordered to screen for, diagnose, and monitor a range of conditions relating to the bones, heart, nerves, kidneys, and teeth. The test may also be ordered if a person has symptoms of a parathyroid disorder, malabsorption, or an overactive thyroid.

The findings on cardiac CT are expressed as a calcium score. Another name for this test is coronary artery calcium scoring.ot all health insurance plans cover cardiac CT for calcium scoring. A high heart rate may interfere with the image quality of the test. Exactly how your treatment or prevention for heart attacks should be modified according to your calcium score remains uncertain.
