What is a coronary CT scan?
This advanced scan uses high-resolution X-ray imaging to capture detailed cross-sectional views of your coronary arteries—the vital blood vessels that keep your heart functioning. A contrast dye is often used to highlight blood flow, making it easier to detect narrowing or blockages.
Early detection means early action—helping to reduce your risk of heart disease before symptoms arise.
Why Consider a Coronary CT Scan?
A coronary CT scan is ideal if you:
✔ Have risk factors like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or a family history of heart disease.
✔ Experience symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or irregular heartbeats.
✔ Want a proactive peace-of-mind check-up—even if you have no symptoms.
Knowledge is power. This quick, non-invasive scan helps you make informed decisions about your heart health.
What can a coronary CT scan detect?
A Coronary CT Scan provides valuable insights, detecting:
✔ Coronary artery disease – Blockages or narrowing caused by plaque buildup.
✔ Calcium deposits – Early signs of artery calcification.
✔ Aneurysms – Abnormal dilation of blood vessels.
✔ Structural heart abnormalities – Including congenital defects.
By identifying these issues early, you can take steps to reduce your risk of heart attack and other serious conditions.
How is a coronary CT scan performed?
The scan is quick, painless, and non-invasive. Here’s what to expect:
