This is an investigation using a high resolution CT X-ray scanner to perform a test called a CT coronary angiogram. It shows pictures of the coronary arteries and can assess if you have any signs of disease in them which may be restricting the flow of blood being delivered to your heart muscle. It is important that you tell your doctor if you are a diabetic on the drug metformin, or if you have a medical history of asthma, kidney problems or a pacemaker.
Our emergency departments are currently extremely busy, and you may face a long wait to be seen. More information is available on alternative services.
