What Does Your Heart Score Mean? A heart score can range from 0 to several thousand. However, since the CT scan can only detect “hard” plaque, non-calcified (soft) plaque could still be present and cause symptoms. A score of 0 means you have no detectable calcium by the CT scanner. A score of 400 or more means you have a build-up of plaque and puts you at high risk of a heart attack within 10 years. A score of 1,000 plus means you have up to a 25% chance of having a heart attack within one year
