Cardiac CT imaging, including coronary calcium scoring and cardiac CT angiography (CTA), is a highly effective diagnostic tool for assessing heart health.
Cardiac CT imaging, including coronary calcium scoring and cardiac CT angiography (CTA), is a highly effective diagnostic tool for assessing heart health.
Both tests are non-invasive and offer valuable insights into a patient’s heart health, enabling doctors to develop personalized treatment plans, monitor disease progression, and guide decisions on lifestyle changes or medical interventions to prevent heart disease.
The coronary calcium score measures the amount of calcium buildup in the coronary arteries, providing an early indicator of coronary artery disease (CAD) before symptoms appear. Higher calcium scores are associated with an increased risk of heart attacks, allowing for earlier interventions to reduce this risk.
Cardiac CTA, on the other hand, uses advanced CT technology to create detailed, 3D images of the coronary arteries, helping to identify blockages, plaque, and other issues that could lead to cardiovascular events.
