Diagnostic tests and procedures are used to determine if a person has cardiovascular disease, the type of disease, the severity and the most effective treatment methods. MAA Medicare Heart Centre offers a full spectrum of non-invasive cardiovascular imaging and diagnostic testing. Our goal is to provide the right test for the right patient at the right time with state-of-the-art technology.

​

Diagnostic imaging tests include:

 

Coronary CT Angiography — Coronary CTA is a non-invasive heart imaging test where high-resolution, 3-dimensional pictures of the heart and vessels are produced to determine if either fatty or calcium deposits have built up in the coronary arteries restricting blood flow.

 

Peripheral CTA — Peripheral angiography is a non-invasive test that uses advanced CT technology with intravenous (IV) contrast (dye) to visualise vessels throughout the body and is used for comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of peripheral vascular disease.

 

Echocardiography/ultrasound — use ultrasound, or high frequency sound waves, to create graphic images of the heart's structures, pumping action and direction of blood flow.

 

Stress echocardiography — is a test to evaluate your heart's performance at rest and with exercise while you are closely monitored. It includes a treadmill or bike exercise test, an electrocardiogram (ECG), and an echocardiogram (echo/ultrasound).

 

Coronary Calcium Scoring - Detecting heart disease at its earliest, most treatable stage. The presence of calcium in the coronary arteries is a proven marker for atherosclerosis, the hardening and clogging of arteries that leads to most heart attacks.

 

General X-Ray - General X-Ray is the most commonly performed type of diagnostic examination. It is the fastest and easiest way to view and assess broken bones, joints, skull or spinal injuries

 

Services include:

1. General Radiography

2. Computerised Tomography (CT) Imaging
   Cross sectional head and body scanning using either pulsed or continuous radiation
