A CT scan of the heart shows detailed images of the heart's structure, including the chambers, valves, and blood vessels. It can detect blockages in the coronary arteries, assess the severity of coronary artery disease, and identify abnormalities in the pericardium and aorta.

CT calcium will show if you have prior plaque; coronary CTA will show any coronary artery disease. If there is a significant disease, coronary CT small FFR can be performed for physiological significance.
