CT Coronary Angiogram
What it shows, and why it matters. A CTCA creates detailed 3D images of your coronary arteries - the vessels that supply blood to your heart.
It identifies what's building up inside them, how much narrowing exists, and whether your heart's structure raises any concerns.
Without surgery or a hospital admission.
What we assess
The four major coronary arteries. The left main, left anterior descending (LAD), left circumflex, and right coronary artery are each assessed for plaque presence, degree of narrowing, and any anatomical anomalies.
Why contrast dye is used
A CTCA uses an iodine-based contrast agent, injected into a vein in your arm. Without it, soft plaque and arterial narrowing are impossible to see reliably.
We screen every patient for contrast allergy and kidney function before confirming the scan.
If contrast isn't suitable for you, we'll tell you -and suggest the right alternative.
What a CTCA does not replace
When another test is a better fit, we’ll tell you.
What to expect on the day
Arrive at your booked CT centre.
A small cannula is placed in your arm for the contrast.
A beta-blocker or GTN spray may be given to optimise your heart rate for imaging - we explain this in your pre-scan call.
The scan takes around 10-15 minutes.
Total visit: approximately 45-60 minutes.
You can drive afterwards in most cases - confirmed with you individually.
A 100+ biomarker blood panel
A CTCA requires a kidney function check before contrast is used. Since a blood draw is needed anyway, we run a comprehensive panel at the same time.
A nurse visits you at home to take your sample.
Not sure if you qualify?
CTCA is appropriate for men aged 40 and over, women aged 45 and over, or anyone younger with significant family history or known risk factors.
We screen all patients for contraindications in your pre-scan clinician call - including kidney function, contrast allergy, pregnancy, and heart rhythm.
If a CTCA is not right for you, we will explain why and suggest what is.
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.
