Heart Scan benefits

Heart Scan is an important specialty in the evaluation and management of cardiovascular disease. Thus, staying on top of recent advances is important for the nuclear cardiologist. For years, what goes on in the Heart Scan London Department has been very confusing with the variety of exams that are done on a number of different organ systems. With the addition of new Heart Scan UK procedures, radiopharmaceuticals, and methods of “stressing” it was not any less confusing. The Heart-Scan is a painless test that takes about 10 minutes.

Why Heart Scan?

With Heart Scan, we can now detect and accurately quantify even the smallest amounts of calcium in the heart arteries. If calcium is detected at the earliest possible time through Heart-Scan, this could be years before the first symptoms of heart disease present themselves. Heart Scan London represents an important advance in the noninvasive detection coronary artery disease. Heart Scan UK is specialized CT scanning that measure calcium in the coronary arteries.

Detect your heart disease through Heart Scan

If there is underlying heart disease, however, too much physical stress can be dangerous. In a person who has coronary artery disease, for instance, exercise can place demands on the heart muscle that the diseased coronary arteries cannot meet, and the heart becomes ischemic (i.e., starved for oxygen.) The ischemic heart muscle can cause either angina (chest pain), or a heart attack (actual death of cardiac muscle). The heart scan is a simple non-invasive test used for early detection of heart disease. With early detection and modifying your risk factors, the potential for advanced heart disease may be significantly reduced and in some cases reversed. The heart scan is a painless test that takes about 10 minutes.

Heart Scan is a new technology to detect heart disease

Heart Scan London is used for the diagnosis of heart disease. Heart Scan UK provides powerful tool in the field of heart disease detection. Heart Scan London department is a centre of excellence for Nuclear Cardiology both nationally and internationally. Heart Scan is a very safe and effective way of detecting and diagnosing the extent of heart disease. This type of scan is most likely to be helpful in cases where the exercise test is inconclusive, the patient cannot exercise adequately, or a quantitative evaluation of blood flow is required.
