64 slice CT scan to help diagnose coronary artery disease. The 64 Slice CT scan is essentially an angiogram of the heart arteries using cat scan. It is sometimes seen as the Heart Scan or Heart CT. It can be a helpful tool for cardiologists to diagnose coronary artery disease. This procedure can find blockages in the heart arteries, similar to a heart catheterization, but noninvasively.

The HEART SCAN can be very helpful. My uncle had no symptoms of heart disease, but the 64 CT scan showed a blockage in the front wall artery. He then had a regular angiogram in the hospital and he ended up getting 2 stents into that artery.

My doctor recommended the CT scan to diagnose cartery artery disease. I am still leery.

my husband had a stent about a year ago, I was wondering if this test is a test that he can still get.
