Coronary CT Angiography

A Coronary CTA scan can discover signs of heart disease that would be invisible on EKGs, stress testing, and calcium scoring. Coronary CTA can identify what is known as “vulnerable or soft plaque,” the type of arterial plaque most likely to develop into a life-threatening blockage. These signs can be detected with Coronary CTA before the patient has symptoms of heart disease.

Coronary CTA is not a replacement for cardiac catheterization, but because of its unique ability to see the wall of the artery, it provides important information that can be invisible on other tests. Coronary CTA uses CT scanning and is safe, painless, and non-invasive. The scan itself is completed in less than a minute.
