provided a maximal stress treadmill. When results of the exercise stress treadmill are positive, firefighters are
put on limited duty or taken off work reducing CCCFPD's workforce. Firefighters with positive stress
treadmill results with this contract in place will now immediately go to Contra Costa Imaging Center to have ,a
CT of the heart without contrast material for quantitative evaluation of coronary calcium, which will allow for
immediate determination of the firefighter's fitness for duty. If the calcium score is >100, firefighters will
then undergo a coronary artery CT angiography to determine the firefighter's fitness For duty. Since these
tests will be performed immediately upon a positive stress treadmill there will be a reduction in the time
necessary for diagnosis of coronary problems effecting fitness for duty and reductions in limited duty time for
firefighters.
