Revolutionizing Heart Disease Detection: The Power of Multi Slice CT Coronary Angiography

The video discusses the prevalence of heart disease, highlighting that many individuals show no symptoms before sudden death. It introduces Multi Slice Computer Tomography Coronary Angiography (MSCT), an advanced imaging technology that provides detailed images of the heart. Dr. Norman Lepore uses MSCT to detect early signs of plaque in arteries, offering a clearer view of the heart's soft tissue. This technology allows doctors to examine coronary arteries and heart chambers in detail, improving early detection and treatment of heart disease.
