CTA with HeartFlow
Coronary CTA uses CT images to examine the arteries supplying the heart. For appropriate studies, HeartFlow analysis adds information about how coronary artery disease may affect blood flow.
What to expect
Images are collected during a coronary CT angiogram. HeartFlow analysis is performed using the CT data when ordered and appropriate.
Before your visit
Call for the instructions for your coronary CTA and confirm whether HeartFlow is included in your order. Do not change medicines without guidance from your care team.
