The case for knowing
There is a cardiac-related death every 3 minutes in the UK. The majority of first cardiac events occur in people with no prior diagnosis. That is not a reason for panic. It is a reason to look.
Why imaging changes the picture
Develops silently
Plaque accumulates over years without symptoms. Significant narrowing can exist long before a person feels anything. By the time symptoms appear, the disease is typically advanced.
Standard risk tools have limits
Your GP can estimate cardiovascular risk using age, cholesterol, and blood pressure. What they cannot tell you is what is actually inside your arteries. A CTCA can.
Soft plaque matters
Calcium scores miss soft plaque. Non-calcified plaque is associated with unstable lesions and acute cardiac events. It is invisible to a calcium-only scan. A CTCA identifies it directly.
Early identification improves outcomes
Identifying significant coronary artery disease before a cardiac event enables intervention at a point where outcomes are meaningfully better.
What the research shows
The SCOT-HEART trial demonstrated that CTCA-guided management led to better long-term outcomes and fewer heart attacks compared to standard care.
Studies of cardiac CT screening in asymptomatic adults consistently identify clinically significant findings - including unsuspected coronary artery disease and structural abnormalities - in patients who would not otherwise have known.
The honest limits
A CTCA is a screening tool. It identifies structural risk and plaque burden. It does not replace a functional stress test, echocardiography, or clinical cardiology assessment for symptomatic patients.
When a CTCA is not the right first step, we'll tell you - and point you toward what is.
The bottom line
A CT Coronary Angiogram cannot guarantee you'll never have a cardiac event. No test can.
What it can do is tell you - clearly, accurately, and now - what is building up inside your coronary arteries.
For most people, the scan is reassuring. For the ones who need it most, it's the information that changes what happens next.
Common Questions
Designed to flag significant findings, then guide next steps.
Is this right for me?
A CT coronary angiogram (CTCA) is a detailed scan of the arteries that supply your heart. It can detect plaque, narrowing and early coronary artery disease - often years before any symptoms appear. Most people choose this if they:
- Have a family history of heart disease, heart attack or stroke
- Have cardiovascular risk factors - raised cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, or a history of smoking
- Are over 40 and want a clear picture of their heart and artery health
- Have symptoms such as chest tightness or breathlessness on exertion that they want investigated
- Want a reliable baseline measure of their coronary health for peace of mind
This scan may not be suitable, or may need to be postponed, if you:
- Are pregnant or might be pregnant (the scan uses a small dose of radiation)
- Have a severe allergy to iodine-based contrast dye
- Have significantly reduced kidney function (we check this with a blood test beforehand)
- Have an irregular or very fast heart rhythm that can't be slowed enough for clear images (we assess this at your consultation)
We screen for all of this before your scan, so you'll only ever go ahead when it's safe and appropriate for you.
Getting Started
£1,999. This covers your complete care from first consultation through to your results discussion:
- Safety screening and clinical referral (no need to arrange your own)
- A supporting blood test, including the kidney-function check needed before the scan
- Two GP consultations - one before and one after your scan
- Your CT coronary angiogram
- Consultant report, including your coronary calcium score, delivered in ~3 working days
- Secure access to your report and images via our app
- Post-scan consultation to discuss your results
Yes. We offer a 3-month interest-free payment plan at checkout, so you can spread the cost without additional fees.
Most people are seen within 3-5 days.
No. Your package includes a GP consultation, and because a CT scan uses radiation it has to be clinically justified before it goes ahead - we arrange that referral and justification for you.
