Coronary CT angiography is a diagnostic medical procedure that provides detailed images of the coronary arteries. This technique uses a combination of computed tomography and a contrast agent to accurately visualize blood flow in the heart.
Coronary CT angiography is an effective tool for detecting and evaluating the presence of heart disease, such as blockages in the coronary arteries. In addition, it can also help identify the presence of cholesterol and calcium plaques in the arteries, which may be an indicator of coronary artery disease.
This service is performed in a hospital setting by a team of highly trained professionals. Coronary CT angiography is a non-invasive and safe procedure that provides fast and accurate results. It is an invaluable tool in the diagnosis and monitoring of heart disease, allowing doctors to make informed decisions about the appropriate treatment for each patient.
At Hospital Angeles San Luis Potosí state-of-the-art technology and a highly specialized medical team to perform coronary CT angiography. Our goal is to provide quality care and contribute to the well-being of our patients.
Coronary computed tomography angiography is an imaging procedure used to assess the condition of the coronary arteries and detect possible blockages or narrowings. It is a useful tool in the diagnosis of heart disease and in assessing the risk of cardiovascular events.
Coronary angiography is performed by injecting a contrast agent into the patient's veins, followed by the acquisition of images using computed tomography. These images allow for the visualization of the coronary arteries and the detection of any abnormalities or blockages.
No, coronary CT angiography is not painful; it does not require incisions or anesthesia. However, you may feel a sensation of warmth or mild discomfort when the contrast dye is injected.
The duration of a coronary CT angiogram can vary, but it generally takes between 15 and 30 minutes.
Although coronary computed tomography angiography is considered a safe procedure, there are some risks, such as allergic reactions to the contrast dye, kidney damage in patients with pre-existing kidney disease, and radiation exposure.
