100% Free Heart Scans for a limited time!

   Heart disease is the #1 killer of both men and women in America today. In order to increase awareness of Heart disease in the U.S., Health Awarness Society partnering with Heart Check America will be giving out free Heart scans in the Los Angeles, Ca., Tinley Park, Il., Arlington Park, Il. and Washington D.C. areas for a limited time only. 


COMPARISON TO OTHER CARDIAC TESTS

   There are numerous tests in addition to a Coronary Artery Scan which a physician can use to assess the condition of a patient's heart: an EKG, a stress test (in all its different varieties - regular treadmill, thallium, echo), a PET scan and angiography. When there are so many different ways to examine the heart, it's natural to wonder which is best. The relevant question however is which is the best test for the specific patient at the specific time.


   The Coronary Artery Scan is a screening test for the early detection of heart disease. It's capable of detecting the heart disease process years before any of the above mentioned tests. Typically, once it's established by a Coronary Artery Scan that an asymptomatic (no symptoms) individual is building plaque at a greater than expected rate, it would be appropriate to perform some form of exercise testing to study cardiac function. If a significant functional abnormality is revealed, then the patient will often proceed to angiography.

A fast, painless scan using the revolutionary electron beam technology can now provide the patient and physician with critical information regarding the presence or absence of disease, thereby enhancing the patient's chance of living a long, healthy and productive life. 

   

  Recently, you may have heard of other imaging centers claim that they can also perform coronary artery scans. However, many of these centers use spiral (a.k.a. helical) CT scanners that are not as accurate or reliable for cardiac purposes as the Electron Beam CT Scanners used at Heart Check America affiliated centers. While in general, spiral CT is excellent imaging technology and very reputable firms manufacture the scanners these centers use, they are clearly inferior for cardiac imaging. The reason is quite simple.


  When you attempt to take pictures of a moving object such as the beating heart, the shutter speed of the camera becomes of paramount importance. If the camera is too slow, the images are very blurry. The acquisition time for Electron Beam CT images is 100 msec (1/10 second), whereas the acquisition time for spiral scanners typically ranges from 400 - 700 msec.
