WHY CCT?

CCTA is useful to decide that the coronary arteries are not the cause of chest discomfort or shortness of breath. CCTA is able to identify severe blockages, as well as any plaque buildup in the coronary arteries that may not be causing severe narrowing at present but may lead to heart problems in the future. CCTA has an important advantage over other traditional approaches by being able to directly visualize early stage plaque that may be missed by traditional approaches. This allows for enhanced prevention therapies and lifestyle changes to prevent a future heart attack.
