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.
