DOHA: Hamad Medical Corporation’s (HMC) Heart Hospital has reduced the waiting time for myocardial perfusion scan. With a mean average waiting time of 19.5 days, HMC is well within the international benchmark of 45.
Dr Daoud Ali El Khatib, Nuclear Medicine Consultant at HMC, said, “The scan is a very sensitive test that has a vital clinical role in diagnosing coronary artery disease (CAD). By being able to offer the service to more patients in a shorter time, we are able to diagnosis CAD earlier and start patients on effective treatment and management more quickly. This could save their lives.”
