What is a CT ANGIOGRAPHY CORONARY?
A CT Coronary Angiography Scan is a non-invasive imaging test using computed tomography to visualize the coronary arteries, assessing their structure and blood flow. It is performed to diagnose coronary artery disease, detect blockages, narrowing, or abnormalities, and evaluate symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath. The scan helps identify heart conditions, assess cardiovascular risk, and guide treatment decisions, such as interventions or lifestyle changes.

FAQs
It is highly accurate for detecting significant coronary artery blockages or stenosis, though minor plaques or very small vessels may need further evaluation.
While effective for coronary artery issues, some heart conditions (e.g., valve dysfunction or electrical abnormalities) may require additional tests like echocardiography or ECG.
Unlike traditional angiography, which is invasive and uses catheters, CT Coronary Angiography is non-invasive, using CT imaging for detailed visualization.
It primarily focuses on coronary arteries but may partially visualize adjacent vessels like the aorta/pulmonary, though dedicated scans are needed for other vascular areas.
No, it assesses artery structure, while stress tests evaluate heart function under exertion; they are complementary, depending on clinical needs.
