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.

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.
