Long Island Heart Associates is proud to
announce the
acquisition of our new GE Ultrafast CT scanner,
which makes us the only private heart center on the east coast with this
innovative technology. We are pleased to be able to offer our patients the
most advanced methods for the detection of coronary artery disease, which
traditional cardiac tests may leave undiagnosed. Ultrafast CT provides our
physicians the opportunity to design preventative treatment programs for
patients with significant risk factors for heart disease, and implement
successful interventional programs for those who have been previously
diagnosed. Click on the links below for further details on these
revolutionary procedures.
Cardiac Calcium Scoring
Using this amazing new method of
detection, the cardiac calcium scoring exam can identify heart disease at
its earliest stages. In just a few short seconds, a number score is
calculated, which advises patients on where they fall in the general
population for risk of heart disease. This score helps our physicians to
decide how to manage their patient’s risk factors.

CT Angiography
Last year, our CT angiography program was
the second busiest in the country. Our doctors are proud to be the
pioneers of this groundbreaking, non-invasive procedure. Done in our
office, we provide a low –risk alternative to traditional angiography in a
comfortable, stress-free environment. In addition to detecting the
atherosclerotic process, this test can evaluate the effectiveness of stents and bypass grafts.
