Non-Invasive 64-Slice CT Coronary Angiography

"For a large number of patients, the first and only symptom of heart disease is a fatal heart attack. Thus diagnosis becomes extremely important for everyone and that too pre-emptive and non-invasive.""A cardiac CT scan can provide an image of the heart and its arteries so detailed that the presence of plaque, narrowing or stenosis of the arteries, calcium scoring and abnormal heart vessels can be determined with a comparable degree of detail and accuracy previously only available through an invasive procedure such as cardiac catheterization or angiography. With 64-Slice CT Scan it is a matter of just a few minutes now."

A 64 CT scan can provide finely detailed images that allow your doctor to diagnose and treat not only heart disease but also the blockage that may lead to a brain stroke, lung diseases, abdominal pathologies and the peripheral vascular diseases common to diabetics.

HEART STATISTICS:

• Coronary artery disease is the single largest cause of morbidity amongst all diseases so much so that it has been classified as having reached pandemic proportions by none less than the WHO (World Health Organisation).
• Over 7,0000,000 Indians have heart related diseases
• 1 in 3 adults, both men and women, has some form of cardiovascular disease.
• In 90% of adult victims of sudden cardiac death, two or more major coronary arteries are narrowed or blocked.
• Brain death and permanent death start to occur in just 4-6 minutes after someone experiences cardiac arrest.
• It is in the early or initial stage that the heart disease is almost certainly treatable.
• The heart and brain muscles are the ones which cannot be revived once dead.
• The cardiac 64 CT scan provides 3D images of the heart so detailed that the heart disease can be detected at a very early stage.
