TRANSFORMING CARDIAC CARE

STRESS LESS:

HOW AI-ENABLED CCTA OUTPERFORMS STRESS TESTING FOR HEART DISEASE DETECTION

Watch the Webinar

Myocardial perfusion, also known as a “stress test,” is today’s go-to method for detecting coronary artery disease — despite limited performance.

Our fourth webinar in the Transforming Cardiac Care series was a discussion about new evidence showing that AI-enabled coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) has a higher diagnostic accuracy for detecting coronary artery disease (CAD).

Dr. Earls is a Professor of Radiology at George Washington University Hospital and a leader within the field of Radiology in applications of advanced imaging technologies in cardiovascular care.

DISCUSSION TOPICS

We discussed every critical angle on why, and how, we need to shift CAD detection from stress tests to AI-enabled CCTA.

Current Approach:

Discuss how overutilization of inappropriate stress testing has contributed to potential harms for patients as well as excessive health care costs

New Standard of Care:

Review how evidence from a recent randomized controlled trial advocates a new paradigm of detecting CAD through AI-enabled CCTA

Measurement:

Evaluate the high diagnostic accuracy of AI-enabled CCTA for CAD imaging in comparison to stress testing and other gold standards

Next Steps:

Understand how AI-enabled CCTA may contribute to enhanced prevention of heart attacks through early detection, improved test selection, and reduced health care costs
