Heart scan

Although a physician referral is not required for a heart scan, it is recommended that you work closely with your doctor and discuss your risk factors for heart disease. Getting a heart scan is both quick and painless. You will be asked to put on a gown and will then have EKG leads placed on your chest. The result of the heart scan will be read by both a cardiologist and a radiologist and will show your risk of coronary artery disease.
