Cardiac CT Scan Clinic in Banashankari 2nd stage

A Cardiac CT Scan (Coronary CT Angiography) is a highly advanced, non-invasive imaging test that provides detailed pictures of your heart and its blood vessels. At our center, this cutting-edge technology plays a vital role in detecting early signs of coronary artery disease and other heart conditions — without the need for catheter insertion.

Led by Dr. PavanKumar P Rasalkar, a senior interventional cardiologist with over 15 years of experience and 20,000+ procedures to his credit, we use this powerful diagnostic tool to offer fast, accurate, and reliable cardiac assessments.

Why Cardiac CT Matters

A Cardiac CT is often the first step in detecting problems that might otherwise go unnoticed until they become serious. This scan is:

• Non-invasive and pain-free

• Quick – typically completed within 15–30 minutes

• Accurate – detects plaque buildup, calcium scoring, and narrowed arteries

• Comprehensive – evaluates the heart, aorta, pulmonary veins, and surrounding structures

• Essential for patients with chest pain, borderline ECG/TMT results, or risk factors for heart disease

Who Needs a Cardiac CT Scan?

This scan is ideal for individuals who:

• Have symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath

• Have a moderate risk of heart disease (due to diabetes, smoking, family history, etc.)

• Need a non-invasive alternative to diagnostic angiography

• Want to assess coronary calcium score to determine early plaque buildup

• Require pre-surgical cardiac evaluation

What the Test Shows

Cardiac CT helps visualize:

• Coronary artery narrowing or blockages

• Presence and extent of calcified or soft plaques

• Coronary artery anatomy before interventional procedures

• Aneurysms or abnormalities in the aorta and pulmonary veins

• Heart chamber size and function (when paired with contrast)

The Procedure: What to Expect

1. You will lie on a motorized table that slides into the CT scanner.

2. Electrodes will be placed on your chest to monitor your heartbeat.

3. A contrast dye may be injected via IV to highlight blood vessels.

4. The scan takes only a few minutes and is entirely painless.

5. Results are interpreted by Dr. PavanKumar P Rasalkar to guide next steps or further treatment, if needed.
