Free Heart Scan in Miami, FL
Heart Scans
Heart disease rarely begins with something dramatic. In most cases, it develops slowly, quietly, and without discomfort. People often feel well for years while changes are taking place inside the coronary arteries. By the time symptoms appear, the disease process is usually no longer early.
A free heart scan in Miami gives patients the opportunity to understand their cardiovascular risk before it reaches that stage. At Life Imaging, this screening is offered as a preventive tool, not as a response to illness. The goal is to replace uncertainty with measurable information.

What This Scan Looks For
The scan focuses on the coronary arteries, which supply oxygenated blood to the heart muscle. Over time, plaque can accumulate along the artery walls. As plaque hardens, it becomes calcified and visible on CT imaging.
This calcification is not felt and does not cause pain, but it is a known marker for coronary artery disease. The scan produces a calcium score that reflects the amount of calcified plaque present. Physicians use this score to better understand risk and guide prevention decisions.
Unlike stress tests or symptom-based evaluations, this exam is based on what is actually happening inside the arteries.
Why People in Miami Choose Preventive Heart Screening
Many patients who schedule a heart scan do not feel sick. They come in because they want clarity. Some have seen heart disease affect a parent or sibling. Others have been told their blood pressure or cholesterol is “borderline.” Some simply prefer data over assumptions.
In a city like Miami, where professional demands, travel, and stress are common, preventive care is often postponed. A heart scan offers a way to check in without disrupting daily life. It is brief, straightforward, and does not require recovery time.
What the Appointment Is Like
The visit is simple. There are no injections, no contrast dye, and no sedation. You lie comfortably while the scanner captures images of the heart. The imaging portion lasts only a few minutes.
After the scan, a radiologist trained in cardiac imaging reviews the results. If calcification is present, Life Imaging provides guidance on how to interpret the findings and what next steps may be appropriate in coordination with your physician.

- It evaluates coronary artery health directly
