Advanced Cardiac Imaging
Advanced cardiac imaging, including Echocardiography, CT Coronary Angiography, and Cardiac MRI where indicated, provides detailed assessment of heart structure and function.
Why and when it is recommended
It is recommended for accurate diagnosis of structural heart disease, coronary artery disease, and unexplained heart symptoms, and to guide treatment planning before procedures or surgery.
How it differs from basic screening tests
Unlike a standard ECG, which only records electrical activity, these imaging techniques provide detailed pictures of the heart's chambers, valves, and vessels, enabling far more precise diagnosis.
Life after imaging
These are generally non-invasive or minimally invasive tests with little to no recovery time, allowing results to directly inform the next steps in treatment.
