• The scans "will completely revolutionize medicine," said Dr. Mario J. Garcia, director of the echocardiography lab at the Cleveland Clinic. Diagnosis of heart disease, he argued, will be transformed, and lives saved.
• Dr. Garcia said, "this CT machine in an emergency room could take a picture and very quickly tell" whether the pain is from a blocked artery, or not. He added: "That's a phenomenal potential. I am convinced it will change the practice of medicine.''
• What if doctors had a new way to diagnose heart disease that took only seconds and provided pictures so clear it showed every clogged artery, so detailed that it was like holding a living heart in your hand?
• In fact, that new way exists and is coming into use in scattered areas of the country, and there is wide agreement that it will revolutionize cardiology.
• The scans can largely replace diagnostic angiograms, the expensive, onerous way of looking for blockages in arteries, and can make diagnosis so easy that doctors would not hesitate to use them. They are expected to cost about $700, compared with about $4,000 for an angiogram.
• Moreover, the scans take seconds to conduct and require no recuperation time; angiograms take nearly an hour and patients must stay in the hospital for a day. The new scans can see not just the outline of blood vessels but every detail inside and out.
