Cardiac scan
HEART scan
The HEART scan is a rapid assessment tool for identifying haemodynamically significant cardiac abnormalities in the critical care setting. It is similar to the Focused assessment with sonography for trauma scan in concept, although it is directed at the heart rather than the abdomen. Often called a Calcium Scan it provides a score that can be used to determine the risk of a coronary event. Unlike an EKG (which would mostly show the results of past heart attacks) and Thallium Stress Test (which only shows up advanced blockages of 70% or more). It is an excellent way to determine if a person has Coronary Arterial Disease.
