Each year, about 1.1 million Americans suffer a heart attack. Approximately 500,000 of those heart attacks are fatal,and more than a third of victims do not experience any of these warning signs. Coronary Heart Disease is the number one killer of men and women in the U.S. Every 34 seconds a person in the U.S. dies from a heart attack. In 48% of men and 63% of women who died suddenly of coronary heart disease, there were no previous symptoms of this disease. It kills more women than breast cancer each year, and more than all other cancers combined. This is why Radiology Imaging Associates at Pembrooke offers a fast non-invasive outpatient Coronary CTA exam that can accurately identify your risk of heart disease.
Using the most advanced ultra high speed 40-slice CT scanner, the test takes just minutes,and involves no expensive hospitalization, catheterization or exercise tests.Your doctor will determine whether or not a non-invasive Coronary CTA is the type of diagnostic test that you need based on your symptoms and risk factors.
