"Oh, my chest hurts!" At this time, many people are nervous and worried about whether there is something wrong with the heart. So, how do doctors judge whether the heart and blood vessels are healthy? Today, I will talk to you about a common examination method - coronary CTA.
Suppose our heart is a house, then the coronary arteries are the water pipes that supply energy to this house. Coronary CTA is equivalent to hiring an experienced "plumber" to check the condition of the water pipes. It is like a "high-definition camera" that can clearly capture extremely fine plaques and narrows in blood vessels. Its imaging accuracy is high, and it can present the health status of the coronary arteries in an all-round and multi-angle manner, providing doctors with an accurate basis for diagnosing heart disease.
1. Diagnosis of coronary artery stenosis: This examination is an imaging test that can help doctors determine the degree of stenosis of the patient's coronary arteries. 2. Diagnosis of coronary artery calcification: If plaque appears in the blood vessels at the patient's coronary artery site, examination through coronary CTA can help clarify the lesion. 3. Diagnosis of coronary atherosclerotic heart disease: It is a non-invasive examination method that can help doctors diagnose the presence of coronary atherosclerotic heart disease. 4. Post-stent implantation review: After the patient undergoes stent implantation surgery, coronary CTA can help understand the circulation of stents in the coronary arteries. If people over 45 years old have risk factors for arteriosclerosis such as hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, smoking, alcohol consumption, obesity, etc., and there are clear ST-T changes on the electrocardiogram, and the patient has symptoms of paroxysmal palpitations, chest tightness, palpitations and precordial pain, it is recommended to observe and perform coronary CTA examination. Attention! The doctor's tip is coming! Although coronary CTA is the "right-hand man" of cardiovascular examination, it is not a panacea. Just like when taking portraits, the model moves too fast and can cause blurry photos, and if the patient's heart rate is too fast or irregular, the image quality of the coronary CTA will also be affected, making it difficult to present key details clearly. When the examination results show that the degree of vascular stenosis is in the critical range of 50%-70%, or the vascular calcification is as severe as a water pipe full of thick scale, doctors usually need to use angiography and other further examinations to make a more accurate diagnosis. Health Tips: To protect heart health, you can't simply rely on examinations to "check and fill in the gaps". Disease prevention is a "protracted battle" that needs to be persisted in for a long time, and maintaining moderate exercise in daily life, adhering to a healthy diet, and actively staying away from risk factors for cardiovascular disease is the "ultimate magic weapon" to protect heart health.
