The Advantages Of A CT Coronary Angiogram

Dr. Paddy Barrett

CT coronary angiography, in addition to a CT CAC, is arguably the best test for estimating whether someone has evidence of coronary artery disease and what that means for their near-term risk of a heart attack. A CT CAC scan can only identify if there is calcified atherosclerosis, where it is and to what extent. And it matters.

Why is ECG machine use? What diseases can EKG monitor detect?

Wellnest

Poor blood supply Ischemia, or inadequate blood supply to the heart, is an abnormality that can be detected in an ECG test. ECG tests can also show previous heart attacks. An ECG machine is able to detect other abnormalities of the heart as well, such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy or overly thick heart muscles.
