“Your heart doesn’t always give warning signs… Know your risks early, so you can take care of your heart in time.”

Coronary artery disease can develop without causing noticeable symptoms. Cardiovascular screening is therefore an important option for assessing your risk and detecting abnormalities in the coronary arteries at an early stage.

The Heart and Vascular Center at Chularat 11 International Hospital provides comprehensive cardiac health assessments using advanced CT technology, helping physicians obtain more detailed information about the coronary arteries.

🫀 Which Heart Screening Is Right for You?

1. CT Calcium Score

“Understand Your Risk of Coronary Artery Disease”

Adults aged approximately 40 years and above
Individuals with risk factors such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or smoking
