CT Coronary Angiography is an advanced imaging test that uses computed tomography and contrast dye to examine the coronary arteries supplying blood to the heart. It helps detect plaque buildup, narrowing, or blockages that may lead to coronary artery disease. This test is commonly recommended for patients with chest pain, shortness of breath, abnormal stress test results, or risk factors for heart disease. CT Coronary Angiography provides fast, high-resolution images of heart vessels, allowing accurate diagnosis and early treatment planning. The procedure is non-invasive and plays a crucial role in preventing serious cardiac events.
