Outpatient centers that offer heart
scans usually require no preparation. However reputable doctors usually obtain
a history, perform a physical exam. A blood test to asses renal function and
blood cholesterol may be done in some patients. The heart scan only takes a few
minutes. You lie down on a table and the machine quickly takes images of your heart.
If there is calcium in your blood vessels, it shows up as white spots. With a
Ct angiogram, you will be administered a dye into your vein,-again the whole process
does not take more than 10-15 minutes. After the procedure, you can resume your
daily living activities.
