The Aveiro Region has, since the beginning of this month, been performing Coronary Artery AngioCT, an examination representing a significant step forward in the diagnosis of cardiovascular conditions. The initiative was launched by the local Local Health Unit (ULS).
This procedure, described as non-invasive, safe, and highly precise, allows for detailed evaluation of the heart's arteries. Its primary goal is to identify early signs of coronary artery disease, a leading cause of heart attack and cardiovascular death, according to the institution's statement.
“"Key benefits include early diagnosis, reduced need for invasive procedures, faster treatment guidance, and improved cardiovascular risk assessment for patients."
By integrating this technique into its Imaging Service, the ULS Região de Aveiro highlights its enhanced response capacity. The health unit thus ensures the region's population access to a technologically advanced examination, promoting more modern and accessible healthcare.
