Heart Health Advanced
Cardiac CT Angiography (Cardiac CTA) and Calcium Scoring is a sophisticated imaging technique that uses CT technology to visualize the coronary arteries in great detail; especially for detecting narrowed or blocked coronary arteries from atherosclerotic plaque: hallmarks of coronary artery disease (CAD). Heart disease is the #1 cause of morbidity & mortality in the world. This exam includes a calcium scoring test as well (excellent value). This is a private, self-pay service and is not covered by OHIP.
- Evaluates for atherosclerotic plaque and narrowing in your coronary arteries: heart disease
- Includes calcium scoring to measure calcified plaque burden
- Performed on a CT scanner with iodinated contrast
- Scan Time: ~30 mins

What This Scan Helps Assess
Understanding Coronary Arterial Plaque & Heart Risk
This Cardiac CT exam helps assess atherosclerotic plaque that causes narrowing of the coronary arteries which leads to heart attacks or myocardial infarct. In addition, the study provides a calcium score which measures calcification of the coronary arteries. This is an excellent test to check for heart disease. typically used in coordination with your healthcare provider and does not replace emergency care or other heart tests they may recommend.
- Evaluates plaque and narrowing in major heart vessels
- Provides a coronary calcium score for risk assessment
- Typically arranged after discussion with your doctor
- Not intended for emergency chest pain or acute symptoms
