CT Coronary Angiogram

Ct Coronary Angiogram
One of the challenges facing a cardiologist when trying to assess a patient’s heart health is obtaining accurate images of the heart in order to make a proper diagnosis. Fortunately, a CT coronary angiogram is one of a few valuable tools available when you turn to Beverly Hills Cardiovascular for care. Whether you have a history of heart disease in your family or you have been dealing with issues that suggest heart trouble, the team here will be proud to serve you. Call our office today to schedule your appointment. A Simple Concept In order to make it easier to see the anatomy of your coronary artery, and to check for any potential concerns, the patient is injected with a dye prior to the scan. The iodine will allow your blood vessels to be essentially highlighted on the images that are produced, so your doctor will be able to get a good look at what is happening with your heart and the various vessels that serve it. Less Invasive Many patients are relieved to hear that this scan is largely non-invasive, with the only exception being the dye that must be injected at the start.

From there, the rest of the scan is done from the outside, as opposed to a traditional angiogram, which is an invasive procedure. Generally speaking, it is always preferable to opt for a less-invasive approach, as long as the information that is required can still be obtained. If you are typically a little anxious or nervous about medical treatments and exams, rest assured that this one is a relatively comfortable experience.
