Question
Doctor, I often feel tired and have chest pain. When working a little hard, the mind is dizzy. Like the blood pump is not enough. I went to the doctor, the doctor ordered a CT scan of the coronary arteries with a 64/128 series CT scan. But when I went to the camera, my heart rate was 90, the doctor said it could be taken. Ask your doctor for advice on how to do a CT coronary angiogram without the use of medication to keep the heart rhythm. Thank you.

Hello,
With chest pain symptoms as you describe, the doctor ordered coronary angiography by CT scan 64/128 sequences, the patient was usually given medication before to Keep heart rate between 60-65 times/minute to help picture coronary arteries without noise. However, there is now a system of CT coronary angiography that does not require the use of pacemakers. That is, a 640-sequence CT scan will give a more accurate coronary angiogram without the need for previous cardiac arrest medication. Vinmec International General Hospital is home to a 640-series CT scanner system. If you need more advice, you can register for examination and consultation at the hospitals of Vinmec Health System. Thank you for asking questions and sharing concerns with Vinmec doctors.
