Advanced Cardiac Imaging

Premium cardiac screening add-on including advanced imaging to detect cardiovascular disease risk factors and early signs of heart problems. Complements standard cardiac assessment with comprehensive heart health evaluation.

Advanced Cardiac Imaging uses CT Coronary Angiography (CTCA) to create detailed images of your heart and coronary arteries, detecting both calcified and soft plaque buildup that may be causing symptomless blockages. This is the imaging technology cardiologists use to assess coronary artery disease — the leading cause of death in Australia. Unlike a standard calcium score (which only detects calcified plaque), CTCA visualises soft plaque — the unstable type that is more likely to rupture and cause a heart attack. Many people with significant coronary blockages have zero symptoms because the body compensates until obstruction reaches 70% or more. By that point, options are limited to intervention rather than prevention. The scan is performed at a specialist radiologist facility and takes approximately 30 minutes. An Everlab doctor reviews the results with you via video, walking through the images, explaining your risk level, and outlining personalised next steps — whether that means lifestyle modification, medication, further investigation, or simply reassurance. This add-on is typically recommended for members whose blood work reveals elevated cardiovascular risk markers (high ApoB, elevated Lp(a), abnormal lipids) or those with a family history of heart disease.
