Stating that images of the heart vessels are taken in a short time with virtual angiography and the results are evaluated quickly, Cardiology Specialist Prof. Dr. Ali Cemal Sağ said, “Virtual angiography, which detects vascular blockages and plaque formation in high resolution and in detail, is an important tool in evaluating the risk of heart attack today. In virtual angiography, the possible risk of heart attack in the patient can be understood at an early stage.”
Stating that it is possible to protect heart health and detect possible risks at the earliest stage with computed tomography (CT) angiography, one of the non-invasive, fast and reliable methods, Medical Park Ordu Hospital Cardiology Specialist Prof. Dr. Ali Cemal Sağ gave information about the advanced technology imaging method offered by modern medicine.
“It allows a detailed examination of the condition of the heart vessels”
Stating that the CT angiography method developed with the latest technology for patients with chest pain offers the opportunity to examine the condition of the heart vessels in high resolution and in detail, Prof. Dr. Ali Cemal Sağ stated that this procedure performed with CT technology is much more comfortable and faster than classical angiography.
“Images are received and evaluated in a short time”
Stating that Coronary CT Angiography (Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography) is a non-invasive imaging method used to evaluate the condition of the heart vessels, Prof. Dr. Ali Cemal Sağ said, “Coronary CT Angiography provides visual evaluation of the heart vessels. Since the method is non-invasive, it is a method that can be easily applied in suspicious cases and shows whether there is really a need for coronary angiography. It allows a clear assessment of the heart vessels of our patients. In this way, it is a safe procedure for the patient. X-rays and contrast material are used to visualize the heart vessels in high resolution. Images are taken in a short time and the results are quickly evaluated. It is an important tool in assessing the risk of heart attack by detecting blood vessel blockages and plaque build-up. It is used to confirm the diagnosis of whether symptoms are associated with CAD (coronary artery disease). It is also suitable for monitoring the condition of patients who have previously undergone bypass or stenting.”
Advantages of Coronary CT Angiography
Prof. Dr. Ali Cemal Sağ; He said the following about the advantages of Coronary CT Angiography:
“The patient usually does not feel pain during the procedure and the procedure is fast. It is less invasive than classical angiography. By detecting problems in the heart vessels at an early stage, it provides the opportunity to start treatment early. This method is an ideal diagnostic tool, especially for patients at risk of coronary artery disease or in suspicious situations. I am sure that our Coronary CT angiography service, which we started to offer at Medical Park Ordu Hospital, will add great value to our patients.”
