CT Scan of the Heart
Cardiac computed tomography (CT) is a high-tech, efficient, and reliable X-ray diagnostic method based on obtaining layered images of the patient's body through computer reconstruction. A CT scanner is used, capable of quickly producing high-quality images, including three-dimensional ones, with advanced visualization of the vascular structure.
A cardiac computed tomography (CT) scan is a non-invasive and highly accurate diagnostic test that allows for a detailed examination of the heart’s structure, blood vessels, and functions. It provides high-quality images that help detect various heart conditions at an early stage.
A heart CT scan is particularly useful for assessing vascular blockages, chest pain, heart failure, angina, and other cardiac pathologies.
In Yerevan, this examination is performed at Nairi Medical Center using state-of-the-art equipment.
When is a Heart CT Scan Necessary?
A heart CT scan is recommended in the following cases:
- Diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD) – detecting vessel blockages and blood flow disturbances.
- Early diagnosis of atherosclerosis – identifying calcium deposits on blood vessel walls.
- Diagnosis of structural heart issues – examining congenital or acquired defects.
- Post-surgical monitoring – evaluating the heart and blood vessels after stent placement or bypass surgery.
- Unexplained palpitations and chest pain – when other diagnostic methods do not provide sufficient information.
How to Prepare for a Heart CT Scan
A heart CT scan does not require complex preparation, but to ensure the best quality results, it is recommended to:
- Avoid food and caffeine-containing drinks for 4-6 hours before the procedure.
- Refrain from smoking on the day of the scan, as it may affect blood vessel dilation.
- Inform your doctor in advance if you have an allergy to iodine-based contrast agents.
- Stay as relaxed as possible, as a steady heart rate ensures more accurate results.
