CORONARY CT

Cardiovascular disease is the No. 1 cause of death in the United States. Atherosclerosis – the hardening and narrowing of arteries from plaque build up on the artery walls – is often the culprit of cardiovascular disease, including heart attack and stroke.

Until recently, there were no non-invasive studies that could directly evaluate atherosclerosis. However, thanks to major technological advancements, CT has emerged as an excellent tool for evaluating cardiovascular health and better determining the risk associated with coronary artery disease.
