What is a CT Coronary Angiogram CT scans have been used to look at various anatomic regions, but have not been useful for the heart because the heart is continuously in motion. CT is very effective in looking at “static” areas, such as the brain, abdominal cavity, and extremities. Most...
Direct visualization of the epicardial coronary arteries is currently the reference standard to confirm the presence or focal severity of coronary luminal disease, or both. For more than 50 years 1 the coronary angiogram has been used to define epicardial coronary disease. While conventional coronary ...

Here, we present a case of a 61-year-old lady, with no known comorbidities, who presented with rapid progression of coronary artery stenosis. Initially, she presented with mild stenosis of left anterior descending which rapidly progressed to significant triple vessel disease in 3 months. ...
CT Coronary Angiogram A CT coronary angiogram is a noninvasive test that allows us to visualize coronary arteries. This test looks for narrow or blocked coronary arteries. Here’s what you can expect during your CT coronary angiogram: Your nurse will check your heart rate and may give you med...
Coronary CTA has numerous clinical applications. Its most prominent role is in the assessment of patients with possible coronary artery stenoses, but a relatively low likelihood of disease, with the aim to rule out coronary stenoses and avoid the need for an invasive coronary angiogram. This incl...
A cardiac CT angiogram is a less invasive version of the traditional angiogram. Utilising state of the art computer tomography scanners, it checks the arteries supplying blood to the heart, and can be used to diagnose conditions such as coronary artery disease (CAD). Using detailed images of th...

CTA can be used as the sole angiographic technique before treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm with endografts, rendering catheter angiography unnecessary for most cases.6 There is a growing body of literature regarding CTA for evaluation of the coronary arteries, and with cardiac gating and ...
A CT scan of the heart can help predict a patient's risk of heart attack by checking for blockage in the coronary arteries. Typical costs: There are two types of heart CT most commonly used; the less invasive calcium scoring heart CT scan, which uses computerized tomography is used to det...
