What are the advance tests for diagnosis of CAD?
We recommend you for a Calcium scoring through CT Scan. If your calcium scoring is higher than you have a higher chance of having calcified plaques. You can also do a non-invasive CT Angiography which will show you the blockages developing throughout your arteries. CT angiography is 80-85% accurate test and if anybody undergoes this test, regular invasive angiography is not required. 2D Echo is also recommended to know about heart pumping. We also suggest blood flow study, to know whether your heart is receiving sufficient quantity of blood. The two tests recommended for the same are: (1) 3 D Cartography & (2) Stress Thallium. You should also do the study of Homocystine & Lipoprotein – A, because if this are above normal, you have a very high chance of having blockages.
