@njx58 no - I am referring to a CCTA test. It SHOWS your doctor each valve. So for example with your calcium score test it is only "predictive" and a general idea of what is going on by using numbers/percentages. But a CCTA shows them what plague build up each of the valves have. So I found 3 of my valves are clear and one is 1/3 blocked. You see?
Key Details About CCTA:Purpose: To detect coronary artery disease (CAD), evaluate chest pain, and measure plaque buildup.Procedure: Requires an injection of iodine-containing contrast material and produces 3D images, which can be reviewed by doctors or, in some cases, analyzed using AI technologies like Cleerly or HeartFlow.Alternative/Related Test: A Coronary Calcium Scan is a simpler, non-contrast CT scan that specifically measures calcified plaque (calcium score) to estimate heart attack risk.CCTA is widely considered a safe, highly accurate, and noninvasive alternative to traditional diagnostic angiography.
