Summary

* Chest pain is one of the most common symptoms of heart disease. This could be due to narrowing in heart's blood vessels, which needs to be investigated.
* Currently, people with a low risk of narrowing of heart vessels usually have a CT scan of the heart first. This scan is good at identifying those who do not have significant narrowing. However, the scan has some drawbacks, such as exposure to a small amount of radiation.
* We are exploring if ultrasound of the neck vessels might give us similar kind of information as the CT scan.
* You will be asked to attend the hospital for one visit to have an ultrasound scan of your neck.
* The findings of your neck vessels will be compared with the CT scan of your heart vessels to see if there is a similarity.
