CardioNow Heart Scan™

Why Choose the CardioNow Heart Scan™?

The CardioNow Heart Scan™ uses advanced coronary CT angiography (CCTA) to create a detailed, 3-D picture of the heart arteries. This modern test is recommended in national heart guidelines as a first-line, noninvasive way to evaluate chest pain and look for coronary artery disease.

Instead of guessing, we can actually see if your arteries are narrowed and whether you need medicine, more testing, or a procedure.

How CardioNow Heart Scan™ Compares to Other CT Scanners

FEATURES

Typical CT Scanner / Generic Heart CT

CardioNow Heart Scan™

How long you wait

Appointments often booked out weeks; scans squeezed between many other exams.

Dedicated heart-imaging slots with short wait times; we aim for rapid access when you need answers.

Time in the scanner

Longer scan times and multiple breath-holds, which can be hard if you’re short of breath or anxious.

Fast, focused scan with just a few breath-holds; most patients are in and out of the scanner in minutes.

Image quality

Older, single-source CT machines may produce blurrier images, especially if the heart rate is fast.

Latest-generation CT designed for heart imaging with crisp, high-detail pictures of your arteries.

What the test shows

May only give limited views of the coronary arteries, sometimes leading to “inconclusive” results.

Clear pictures of the coronary arteries, showing where plaque is located and how much narrowing is present.

Accuracy & need for invasive tests

Lower accuracy can mean more people still need an invasive catheterization to get a clear answer.

Modern CCTA has very high accuracy for finding or ruling out significant blockages, often preventing unnecessary catheterizations.

Guideline support

Not all scanners or protocols follow the latest heart-disease guidelines.

Uses CCTA, the only noninvasive imaging test with the highest-level recommendation in major chest-pain guidelines for diagnosing coronary artery disease and guiding treatment.

Results delivery

Reports may take days to reach you and your doctor.

Results are reviewed by a cardiologist focused on imaging, with a clear action plan communicated quickly.

Patient experience

Feels like a generic hospital test with little explanation.

Team walks you through each step, explains what to expect, and reviews next steps so you leave with answers—not more questions.

What This Means for You

Faster, clearer answers about whether your chest pain or risk factors are related to blocked arteries.
Fewer unnecessary procedures because high-quality images help avoid “just to be safe” invasive tests.
Personalized treatment plan based on what we actually see in your arteries, not just on guesswork or stress-test results.
