Words from the Expert
Dr. Ravin Sharma (M.D. in Radiology) says that the frequency of heart diseases, especially heart attacks, has witnessed a surge. By checking our cardiac arteries for blockage on a routine basis, we can easily prevent heart attacks because blockage in the arteries is the main cause of heart attacks. CT Coronary Angiography is an ideal test for the timely detection of blockage in the heart arteries and is helpful in the prevention of a heart attack before it strikes. This test detects the obstruction in heart arteries at an early stage and helps in the prevention of heart attacks using very low amounts of radiation. So, it is a highly effective and safe procedure compared to other diagnostic procedures for the detection of heart health issues.
