Why check my heart with a CT scan if I don’t want surgery?

This is exactly why you should get checked! Finding a blockage early means you can often handle it with medications instead of going for surgery. With our low-dose CT, we can track how you’re doing over months and see if those plaques are actually shrinking with treatment. Many patients end up avoiding stents and bypass surgery completely because we found their problems early enough to treat with pills and lifestyle changes.
