Cardiac CT Scan

Cardiac CT Scan uses advanced computed tomography to evaluate the heart and coronary arteries, helping detect calcium build-up, narrowing, and selected structural or congenital abnormalities.

What Cardiac CT Scan Evaluates

• It provides non-invasive visualisation of coronary anatomy in selected patients.

• CT can identify calcified plaque and estimate the burden of coronary atherosclerosis.

• It is useful when doctors need anatomical detail without immediately proceeding to invasive testing.

• The scan can also support planning in selected structural and congenital heart assessments.

When Cardiac CT Scan Is Recommended

• Atypical chest pain or intermediate coronary risk where non-invasive anatomical review is helpful.

• Patients needing coronary calcium scoring or CT-based artery assessment.

• Cases where previous tests are inconclusive and more anatomic information is needed.

• Selected patients being assessed before procedures or further cardiac planning.

Who May Benefit From Cardiac CT Scan

• Patients who need a non-invasive look at coronary anatomy.

• People with risk factors and symptoms that are not fully explained by basic testing.

• Individuals for whom calcium burden and plaque pattern will influence treatment.

• Patients whose cardiologist wants structured imaging before deciding on invasive studies.

Benefits of Cardiac CT Scan

• Provides clearer diagnosis and more confident treatment decisions.

• Helps identify heart problems earlier, before symptoms become serious.

• Reduces uncertainty when chest pain, breathlessness, or palpitations need explanation.

• Guides follow-up care, medication changes, and preventive heart planning.
