Hi
No Single test is be all and end all. It's true that with fast heart rate quality of CT gets compromised. However, there are ways it can be mitigated- beta blockers on the CT table and using techniques such as retrospective gating.
Finally there are alternative tests. Consider those after discussing with your doctor.

Hi, usually heart rate wont effect ct angiogram. Plz send your ecg for complete picture of rate and rythm of your heart. Take online consultation to get a clear picture.
