Your cardiologist may refer you for a CT coronary angiogram scan. This is a non-invasive procedure that looks at the whole heart and the coronary arteries, which supply the heart muscle with blood.
This test provides your cardiologist with a large amount of information including proving or excluding significant blockages within the coronary arteries. In addition, the scan is able to detect the earliest stages of cholesterol deposition within the walls of the coronary arteries and this assists greatly in determining a patient’s current and future risk of cardiovascular disease.
CTCA is performed at Coffs Harbour Radiology in West High Street. They can be contacted on 02 66482700.
