It has been called the "mammogram of the heart". The EBT Heart Scan is a significant break through in technology for Cardiac Risk Assessment and the early detection of heart disease. The EBT heart scan is the most accurate CT scan for screening of cardiac coronary calcification, widely regarded as an indicator of heart health. A cardiologist can diagnose and treat heart disease with a greater degree of certainty and speed years before a blockage can build up. Coronary artery disease refers to a narrowing of the coronary arteries, usually by a buildup of plaque on the walls, which decreases the amount of blood that can flow through them to supply the heart muscle. Coronary artery calcium is a marker for plaque (fatty deposits) in a blood vessel. These calcium deposits form years before the first symptoms of heart disease, such as chest pain or shortness of breath, appear. Only the Coronary Artery Screen done with the EBT scanner is 98% accurate in ruling out coronary artery disease. In a 5-minute test, the electron beam scanner takes forty pictures of your heart, between beats, while you remain fully clothed. These images show the early calcium plaque buildup, which appear as white specs on the walls of your arteries. Less calcium means less arterial plaque so a patient and physician knows the medicine or heart health wellness regimen is working. More calcium means more plaque is building up and the patients heart disease is not improving.

The best news today is that heart disease is very treatable and reversible. In addition to the traditional recommendations of diet and exercise, your physician also has available new medications which not only lower the total cholesterol in your body, but also stop and reverse plaque formation. One of the goals behind EBT scanning is to detect heart disease early so that heart attacks and heart surgery can be avoided. All men over 35 and women over 45 years of age should undergo EBT scanning. Don't be fooled by appearances. Every day, seemingly healthy individuals suffer debilitating or fatal heart attacks while their cholesterol was low, while they maintained a relatively healthy diet and exercise program and while they passed annual physical exams successfully. You should consider earlier scanning if you have one or more of the following: a family history of early heart disease, diabetes, elevated cholesterol, high blood pressure, obesity, current or former tobacco usage, or a history of prolonged exposure to second hand smoke. The fact is, only EBT Technology can successfully find the early warning signs of heart disease while it is at it's most treatable stage.
