Understanding Heart Health Scans: Essential Tests for a Healthy Heart

When it comes to heart health, early detection is key. Various heart health scans can help assess cardiovascular risk, detect underlying conditions, and guide treatment plans. One of the most common tests is the electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG), which measures the heart’s electrical activity to identify irregular heart rhythms. The echocardiogram uses ultrasound waves to create images of the heart, allowing doctors to evaluate heart function and detect structural issues. Another critical scan is the stress test, which monitors heart performance under exertion to diagnose conditions like coronary artery disease. For a more detailed view, the CT coronary calcium scan measures plaque buildup in the arteries, helping predict heart attack risk before symptoms appear.



For those at higher risk, advanced imaging options like the coronary CT angiography (CTA) and cardiac MRI provide a comprehensive look at blood flow, artery blockages, and heart tissue health. A nuclear stress test uses a small amount of radioactive dye to highlight blood flow to the heart, making it a valuable tool for diagnosing ischemic heart disease. Understanding these heart health scans can empower individuals to take proactive steps in managing their cardiovascular health. In this episode, we’ll break down each test, discuss when they are recommended, and explain how they contribute to heart disease prevention. Subscribe for expert insights on heart health, early detection, and the latest advancements in cardiac imaging.

Are you concerned about your heart health? In this episode, we’re diving into the different types of heart health scans that can help detect heart disease early and guide treatment. Learn about essential tests like:



✅ Electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG) – Measures heart rhythm and electrical activity
