Our HeartView CT is an accurate image of your entire heart and can uncover heart disease years before you have symptoms. The scan produces clear and precise three-dimensional images that are read by an Oklahoma Heart Hospital cardiologist.

There’s no better heart CT anywhere. It’s fast, painless and safe. It takes only seven minutes and you don’t even have to change your clothes. For only $50, you can see if your heart is at risk.

It's a fact that one in two Americans will die from a heart-related illness. And Oklahoma ranks second in deaths due to cardiovascular disease.
