Cardiovascular Risk Prevention
In addition to cardiac CTs, cardiac MRIs and cardiac PET scans, we also offer the following non–invasive diagnostic tests to help assess your risk of heart disease, including:
- Cardiac CT for calcium scoring is a non–invasive way of obtaining information about the presence, location and extent of calcified plaque in the coronary arteries. This is also known as coronary artery calcium scoring. It´s essentially a scan that shows the physician any calcium deposits that may be present in the arteries.
- Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography (CCTA) is a non-invasive heart imaging test that analyzes the structure of the heart´s blood vessels as a way of determining whether plaque buildup has narrowed the coronary arteries.
- Echocardiography, or cardiac ultrasound, emits high frequency sound waves to create images of the heart´s structures, pumping action, and direction of blood flow.
- Electrocardiogram (EKG) is used to measure the electrical activity of your heart. An EKG can show if your heart is not getting enough oxygen, if a heart attack has occurred, what part of the heart was damaged, or an irregular heartbeat or rhythm.
- Stress Testing is a screening tool used to test the effect of exercise on your heart. This test can help determine any abnormalities with your heart.
- TEE in advanced detection imaging modality
- 3D Echo Imaging in advanced detection imaging modality
