64 Slice Insta Heart Scan
What is 64 Slice Insta Heart Scan?
The 64 Slice Insta heart scan is a non-invasive which implements rapid X-ray scanning with multi detector computed tomography (CT) by which we can get5 a detailed picture of arteries. Injections of contrast dyes are given to highlight the blood vessels and image of the heart slices created by X-rays.
The detailed image of deposition of calcium and fat lodged in the arteries are given by the assembling of the slices into an image of the heart, aided by the computer
Who should undergo CT Angio Scan?
Due to deposition of plaque and calcium in the coronary artery, Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is observed. Generally anyone over the age of 35 years should go through a 64 Slice CT Angio Scan. Angio CT scan is mandatory for the sets of people posses following habits and conditions. In this cases the risk for CAD is higher-
Anyone over the age of 35 needs to undergo a 64 Slice CT Angio Scan because over the years there is a build up of plaque and calcium deposits in the coronary arteries which could lead to Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) . However the CT Angio Scan becomes a must for people with the following habits and condition, where the risk of CAD is higher:-

If there is any problem with the heart rate the doctors provide medication (beta-blocker drug). It is provided tp normalize the heart rate. Just after the examination the patient resume normal activities and obviously it’s not an out-patient procedure.
