Coronary CT angiography is a medical service offered at Hospital Angeles Valle Oriente. This diagnostic imaging technique uses computed tomography to obtain detailed images of the coronary arteries. Coronary CT angiography is an effective tool for assessing the presence of blockages or narrowing in the heart’s arteries, which may indicate the presence of coronary artery disease.

During the procedure, a contrast agent is injected into the patient’s veins to highlight the coronary arteries in the images. A series of high-resolution images is then taken, allowing doctors to assess blood flow and detect any abnormalities in the arteries.

Coronary CT angiography is a non-invasive and safe procedure that provides fast and accurate results. It is an alternative to invasive angiography, which requires the insertion of a catheter into the arteries. Furthermore, coronary CT angiography involves no significant risks and does not require hospitalization.
