A Coronary CT Scan, also known as Coronary CT Angiography (CCTA), is a non-invasive imaging test used to check for blockages or other issues in the coronary arteries—the vessels that supply blood to your heart. It uses advanced X-ray technology combined with contrast dye to produce detailed 3D images of your heart and its blood vessels.
Why is it Important?
-
Detects coronary artery disease (CAD) early—even before symptoms appear.
-
Helps determine the severity of blockages.
-
Can guide treatment decisions without needing an invasive catheter procedure.
-
Quick, painless, and often completed within 15–30 minutes.
Who Should Consider a Coronary CT?
-
Patients with chest pain or discomfort.
-
Those with intermediate risk of heart disease.
-
Individuals with family history of heart conditions.
What to Expect:
Before the test, you may be asked to avoid caffeine and take a beta-blocker to slow your heart rate. During the scan, a contrast dye is injected, and the CT scanner rotates around your chest, capturing high-resolution images.
