A computerized tomography (CT) coronary angiogram is an imaging test that looks at the arteries that supply blood to the heart. A CT coronary angiogram uses a powerful X-ray machine to produce images of the heart and its blood vessels. The test is used to diagnose a variety of heart conditions.

A CT coronary angiogram is mainly used to check for narrowed or blocked arteries in the heart (coronary artery disease). However, it can check for other heart conditions.

A CT coronary angiogram differs from a standard coronary angiogram. The traditional procedure (non-CT angiogram) uses a flexible tube (catheter) threaded through the groin or arm to the heart or coronary arteries. For those with known coronary artery disease, the traditional approach can also be used as treatment.

The images from your CT coronary angiogram should be ready soon after your test. The health care provider who asked you to have the test likely will discuss the results of the test with you.

If your test suggests that you have or are at risk of heart disease, you and your provider can discuss treatment options.

Regardless of the results of a CT coronary angiogram, it's always a good idea to make lifestyle changes to help protect the heart. Heart-healthy lifestyle changes include:

Exercise regularly. Exercise helps manage weight. It also helps control diabetes, high cholesterol and high blood pressure — all risk factors for heart disease.

With your health care provider's OK, get at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity a week, or a combination of moderate and vigorous activity. If necessary, break activity into several 10-minute sessions a day.

Eat healthy foods. A heart-healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains — and low in saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium — can help control weight, blood pressure and cholesterol.
Stop smoking. Smoking is a major risk factor for heart disease, especially atherosclerosis. If you smoke, quitting is the best way to reduce your risk of heart disease and its complications. If you need help quitting, ask your health care provider about smoking cessation methods.
Manage health conditions. For high blood pressure, high cholesterol or diabetes, take medications as directed. Ask your provider how often you need follow-up visits.
Reduce stress. Stress can cause blood vessels to tighten (constrict), increasing the risk of a heart attack. Getting more exercise, practicing mindfulness and connecting with others in support groups are some ways to tame stress.

Risks
A CT coronary angiogram involves exposure to radiation. The amount varies depending on the type of machine used. Women who are pregnant shouldn't have a CT angiogram because of possible harm to an unborn child.

The test may be done using dye (contrast) to help blood vessels show up more clearly on the images. Some people have an allergic reaction to the contrast dye. Talk to your health care provider if you're concerned about having an allergic reaction. If you have a contrast dye allergy, you might be asked to take steroid medication 12 hours before the procedure to reduce the risk of a reaction.
