A Cardiac CT (Computed Tomography) Scan is a non-invasive imaging test that uses X-rays and computer technology to produce high-resolution, cross-sectional images of your heart and blood vessels. It is particularly effective at detecting early plaque buildup, calcium deposits, and blockages in the coronary arteries, even before symptoms appear.
At Manipal Hospital Sarjapur Road, Dr. M. Sudhakar Rao—a seasoned Interventional Cardiologist with over 15 years of experience and international recognition—uses advanced cardiac CT technology to assess heart health with speed, accuracy, and minimal risk.
Cardiac CT provides critical insights into:
Coronary artery disease (CAD) — identifying narrowing or blockages
Calcium scoring — detecting early signs of atherosclerosis
Heart structure and function — evaluating chambers, valves, and vessels
Congenital heart defects
Pre-surgical planning — assessing risk before major procedures
Monitoring heart disease progression
It allows early detection and timely intervention, helping prevent major events like heart attacks or strokes.
Dr. Sudhakar Rao may recommend a Cardiac CT if you:
Have risk factors like high BP, diabetes, or family history of heart disease
Experience chest pain, breathlessness, or palpitations
Need evaluation after an abnormal ECG, ECHO, or TMT
Are undergoing cardiac risk assessment before surgery
Require a calcium score to assess heart disease risk
Have known coronary artery disease needing follow-up imaging
Preparation: You may be given medication to slow your heart rate for clearer images.
Scan Procedure:
You’ll lie on a table that moves through a donut-shaped CT scanner.
A contrast dye may be injected through an IV to highlight coronary arteries.
The scan is quick (5–10 minutes) and completely painless.
Post-Test: You can usually resume normal activities immediately after.
High-speed, high-resolution images
Detects silent coronary disease in early stages
Ideal for patients with mild or atypical symptoms
No hospital stay or recovery time needed
Calcium Scoring (optional): a special type of CT that quantifies calcium in your arteries, predicting heart attack risk
