Advanced Heart Health Checkup in Chennai
Your heart health plays an essential role in your overall well-being. At NURA, we combine advanced imaging technology with a doctor-led screening experience to help you understand selected indicators of coronary heart health.
Our heart screening uses Ai-assisted ultra-low-dose CT to assess coronary artery calcium (CAC) and epicardial adipose tissue (EAT). These assessments provide additional information that can help inform a discussion with your doctor about cardiovascular health and appropriate next steps.
The heart health screening at NURA Chennai is priced at ₹10,000, takes approximately 45 minutes, and uses Ai-assisted ultra-low-dose CT technology.
Understand Your Coronary Heart Health
Cardiovascular health can be influenced by several factors, including age, family history, high blood pressure, diabetes, cholesterol levels and lifestyle habits. Some risk factors may not cause noticeable symptoms, making it important to understand your individual health profile.
At NURA, our screening focuses on selected indicators associated with coronary heart health, using advanced imaging technology supported by Ai. The findings can help your doctor assess your results alongside your medical history and other relevant risk factors.
Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) Assessment
Coronary artery calcium assessment identifies calcium deposits in the walls of the coronary arteries, which supply blood to the heart muscle. The amount of calcium detected can help clinicians assess aspects of coronary artery disease risk when considered alongside other clinical information.
Epicardial Adipose Tissue (EAT) Assessment
Epicardial adipose tissue is the fat located around the heart. Assessing this tissue can provide additional information relevant to cardiovascular and metabolic health. The findings should be interpreted alongside other clinical information rather than used as a standalone diagnosis.
Ai-Assisted Ultra-Low-Dose CT Technology
NURA uses Ai-assisted ultra-low-dose CT technology to support the assessment of selected coronary heart health indicators. This approach combines advanced imaging with medical consultation to help you better understand your screening findings.
Ai supports the screening process but does not replace a doctor’s interpretation. Depending on your results, symptoms and medical history, additional evaluation may be recommended.
What Your Screening Includes
Our heart screening includes Ai-assisted ultra-low-dose CT, coronary heart disease assessment covering CAC and EAT, and a doctor consultation. This focused approach helps you explore selected aspects of coronary heart health and discuss the findings with a healthcare professional.
Who Should Consider Heart Health Screening?
People with a family history of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, cholesterol concerns or other relevant risk factors may wish to discuss heart health screening with a healthcare professional.
The suitability of CT-based screening depends on your age, medical history and individual risk. A doctor can help determine whether this assessment is appropriate for you. If you experience chest pain, sudden breathlessness or other symptoms that could indicate a medical emergency, seek urgent medical care rather than waiting for a routine screening appointment.
Choosing the Right Preventive Health Screening in Chennai
Your health screening needs depend on your individual concerns and medical history. While a focused heart assessment provides information about selected coronary health indicators, a full body health checkup in Chennai may cover a broader range of health areas, depending on the package selected.
At NURA, we offer different screening options to support a more informed approach to preventive healthcare. Understanding what each screening covers can help you choose an option suited to your needs, with guidance from a healthcare professional where appropriate.
