Brief Answer:
Colonoscopy has to be done.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Severe diarrhea needs proper diagnostic. CT is not the best test to do that. As the reason of chronic diarrhea can be an infection, inflammatory bowels disease or even colon cancer, colonoscopy and stool tests are necessary at this point.
Diverticles inflammation usually does not give chronic diarrhea. So its not the reason of your symptoms.

Heart issue has nothing to do with your current symptoms at all.

I suggest you to consult gastrologist. This can not wait any longer.

Hope this helps. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
