Can a CT scan replace angiography? When do you really need CT coronary angiography?

In this video, Dr. Ameya Amonkar (Interventional Cardiologist, Thane) explains everything you need to know about CT Coronary Angiography (CTCA) — one of the most advanced non-invasive tests used to evaluate heart disease.

We cover:
• What is CT coronary angiography?
• How the test is done (preparation, heart rate, contrast, safety)
• What CT angio can detect — blockages, plaque, early disease
• What CT angio cannot do — treatment, functional significance
• CT Angio vs Invasive Angiography — which one do you need?
• CT Angio vs Calcium Score — what’s the difference?
• Can CT angiography predict a heart attack?
• Who should undergo CT angiography — and who should not

???? Key Takeaways:
✔ CT angiography is excellent for ruling out heart disease (NPV 95%)
✔ It helps detect early plaque before symptoms appear
✔ It cannot replace invasive angiography when treatment is required
✔ Not every blockage needs a stent — understanding function matters
✔ The right test depends on the right patient

???? This video is for:
• Patients with chest pain or risk factors
• People considering CT scan vs angiography
• Anyone interested in preventing heart disease early
