TRANSFORMING CARDIAC CARE

THE FIRST-EVER STAGING SYSTEM FOR PLAQUE

Webinar with Live Q&A - Recorded May 25, 2022

STAGING ATHEROSCLEROSIS:
UNDERSTANDING PLAQUE BURDEN FOR PATIENT EVALUATION AND TREATMENT

Atherosclerosis is the strongest predictor of heart attacks — but what are the clinical thresholds for diagnosis and treatment?

Watch our second Transforming Cardiac Care webinar for a presentation and Q&A on the field’s first novel, four-tiered atherosclerotic plaque staging system proposed by Cleerly.

DISCUSSION TOPICS

Plaque staging can support more precise treatment based on an individual’s atherosclerotic phenotype. Our panel discussed four areas related to this critical new system:

Atherosclerosis, Stenosis, and Ischemia:

The relationship between plaque burden and heart conditions.

Plaque Staging System:

Different plaque severity stages and clinical thresholds for disease burden.

Clinical Utility:

How a plaque staging system could impact diagnosis and management of coronary artery disease.

Implementation:

The critical next steps for bringing the staging system into clinical practice.

The Cleerly webinars are open to any cardiologist, radiologist or other healthcare professional with an interest in breakthrough medtech for heart disease and prevention. Watch Webinar!
