Peripheral Arterial Disease

An angiography (or cardiac catheterisation) is a test that can detect blockages or narrowing in the coronary arteries.

A CT scan is used to produce internal cross-sectional images of the body. The images aid the detection of disease and injury, allowing effective treatment planning.

Cardiac (heart) MRI images allow physicians to better determine the presence of certain diseases that may not be as easily seen with other imaging methods such as x-ray or ultrasound.

An MRI is a type of scan that creates detailed images of the inside of your body.. Your doctor or healthcare professional has recommended an MRI scan because it is the best way to make an accurate diagnosis of your condition.

Ultrasound is a non-invasive scan that uses sound waves to create live images from the inside of the body.

An X-ray machine produces images of the inside of the body. It is effective in assessing bones and other dense structures within the body.

Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) - often abbreviated to angioplasty - is a procedure to re-open a narrowed heart artery by inflating a tiny balloon in the narrowed segments.

If conservative methods to treat your angina are not successful your consultant may recommend coronary artery bypass graft.

Dieticians study and translate scientific information about food and nutrition and dietary advice into practical guidance.
