Mahajan Imaging Reports 85% Surge in Calcium Scoring CT, Flags Early Heart Risk

• Mahajan Imaging & Labs saw an 85% year-on-year increase in Calcium Scoring CT scans and a 36% rise in advanced cardiac imaging from 2024 to 2025.
• A virtual conference, "Young Hearts at Risk," highlighted the shifting age profile of cardiovascular disease, with over 25% of Indian heart attacks now in individuals under 40.
• Indians develop coronary artery disease a decade earlier than Western populations due to factors like diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and stress.
• Experts emphasized early risk stratification through non-invasive diagnostics like CT Coronary Angiography and calcium scoring for timely intervention.
• Calcium Scoring CT is crucial for quantifying coronary artery calcification, an early marker of atherosclerosis, enabling risk stratification even in asymptomatic individuals.
