Cardiac Computed Tomography (CT) is an advanced imaging technique that uses X-rays to generate precise 3D images of the heart and coronary arteries. Coronary CT angiography is particularly useful in identifying blockages or narrowing of the arteries.
Why it matters
Beyond detecting coronary artery disease, Cardiac CT can assess cardiac anatomy, congenital heart conditions, and calcium build-up in the arteries. It also supports planning for interventions such as valve implantation (TAVI) or ablation therapy.
What it means for you
Cardiac CT gives fast and reliable answers about your heart health. It can show if your symptoms are linked to coronary artery disease and helps many patients avoid unnecessary invasive investigations.
