Cardiac Diagnostic Programme
The coronary arteries supply blood, nutrients and oxygen to your heart. Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) result when cholesterol-containing plaques start building up and cause a narrowing of your coronary arteries. Eventually, this decreases the blood flow to your heart and may cause shortness of breath, chest pain (angina) or other related signs and symptoms. A complete blockage in the arteries can cause a heart attack without warning signs.
At CVSKL, we believe early detection allows for early intervention and thus, a better outcome. Together, our NICL (Non-Invasive Cardiovascular Lab) & Radiology team perform a variety of specialized diagnostics tests (Eg. Stress Test) which will assist our doctors in making an accurate diagnosis.
Our team is committed to providing high-quality care for our patients.
Located on the first floor, CVSKL houses the latest 512-slice Revolution Apex CT scanner, which creates detailed images enabled by the latest advances in science and technology.
The CT scanner combines a series of high-quality x-ray images taken from different angles around your body and uses digital processing to create cross-sectional images (slices) of the bones, blood vessels and soft tissues inside your body. From these images, our team of doctors are able to:
- Identify vulnerable deposits of plaque in the heart & surrounding vessels
- Detect early signs of stroke
- Detect early signs of cancer in major organs
- Perform non-invasive total body angiogram accurately
- Perform a coronary calcium heart ct scan to survey all the vessels of the heart for a heart attack risk
