Heart Scan




A Heart Scan or Ultrafast Electron Beam Tomography (EBT) is the only procedure that detects, identifies, and quantifies Coronary Artery Disease even before you develop any symptoms.

Who Should Have A Heart Scan?
You should have a test if you are have the following symptoms:

* Chest Pain
* Abnormal EKG
* Shortness of Breath
* Fatigue
* Dizziness
* Swelling of ankles, lower legs
* Nausea
* Fluttering/Rapid heartbeat

OR if you have no symptoms but are:

* Male aged 40 to 65 with 2 or more risk factors*
* Female aged 45 to 70 with 2 or more risk factors*

*American Heart Association Risk Factors:

* Family history of heart disease
* Heart attack or stroke
* High cholesterol levels
* High blood pressure
* Physical inactivity
* Diabetes
* Smoking
* Obesity

     Having plaque or calcium in one's arteries does not mean that there has been damage done to the heart muscle.
