Does it hurt to have a cardiac CT?

Cardiac CT may be uncomfortable, but there are some differences.

During cardiac CT examination, contrast medium injection is needed to better observe the condition of the heart and blood vessels. Some people may be allergic to contrast medium, fever, rash, nausea and other discomfort symptoms. In addition, cardiac CT examination requires patients to cooperate with breathing in order to better obtain images. Some people may feel uncomfortable because of poor breathing or poor coordination. However, due to individual differences, some people do cardiac CT examination without any discomfort.

Cardiac CT examination is a relatively safe and non-invasive examination method. If you feel uncomfortable during the examination, you should inform your doctor in time so that appropriate measures can be taken.
