Who is a good candidate for this screening?

Ideal candidates include adults with risk factors such as high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, diabetes, smoking history, or a family history of heart disease, even if they have no symptoms. It is also suitable for those over 40 seeking a proactive assessment. Contraindications include pregnancy, known severe allergy to contrast dye, unstable angina, or acute illness; the cardiologist will review your medical history to ensure safety.
