What is a CT Coronary Angiogram?
A CT Coronary Angiogram is a non-invasive imaging test that uses computed tomography (CT) to visualize the coronary arteries and detect blockages or narrowing.
Why is a CT Coronary Angiogram performed?
This test helps diagnose coronary artery disease (CAD), assess heart-related symptoms like chest pain, and evaluate overall heart health.
How should I prepare for a CT Coronary Angiogram?
You may be asked to avoid caffeine and heavy meals before the test. In some cases, medications may be adjusted, and you should inform your doctor about any allergies or medical conditions.
Is a CT Coronary Angiogram safe?
Yes, it is generally safe. However, it involves low-dose radiation and the use of contrast dye, which may cause allergic reactions in some individuals. Your doctor will assess any potential risks.
How long does the procedure take, and when will I get the results?
The scan itself takes around 10-15 minutes, but preparation may take longer. Results are usually available within a few days and will be reviewed by your doctor for further recommendations.
