Coronary CT Angiography (CCTA) | Cardiac CT in Jordan

Coronary CT Angiography (CCTA) is a non-invasive imaging test used to visualize the coronary arteries and assess for narrowing or blockage.

The examination uses computed tomography (CT) with intravenous contrast to produce detailed images of the coronary arteries. It can help assess patients with chest pain or suspected coronary artery disease and may provide important information about the presence and extent of coronary artery plaque.

CCTA can be particularly useful when a non-invasive assessment of the coronary arteries is appropriate. It may also help determine whether further cardiac evaluation, including invasive coronary angiography, is needed.

The decision to perform CCTA depends on the patient's symptoms, clinical history, cardiovascular risk factors and kidney function, as well as the ability to obtain high-quality images.

Dr. Ghassan Shawabkeh reviews the clinical information and CCTA findings to provide an integrated assessment and determine the most appropriate next step in the patient's cardiac care.
