TRANSFORMING CARDIAC CARE

HOPE FOR A NEW ERA IN CARDIAC CARE:

HOW AI-BASED CARDIAC IMAGING COMPLEMENTS CALCIUM SCORING

Webinar with Q&A – Watch Video

AI takes us beyond a score — and transforms preventive heart care.

In our sixth Transforming Cardiac Care webinar, we compare coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring with computed tomography angiography (CCTA) enabled by artificial intelligence (AI). Both identify coronary artery disease risk. But while CAC identifies the presence of calcium, AI-enabled CCTA provides comprehensive visualization of both calcified and noncalcified plaque and the severity of stenosis, and it offers the ability to stage and track progression using powerful artificial intelligence. AI-enabled CCTA evolves the CAC approach for a new, higher standard of heart care.

DISCUSSION TOPICS

Our conversation covered multiple viewpoints on heart attack prevention, including the comparative accuracy of CAC and AI-based cardiac imaging and the benefits of a combined approach.

Prevention Today

What role does prevention play in cardiology today, and how is CAC used to assess heart disease risk?

AI-enabled CCTA

How AI-enabled CCTA helps determine the age of individual plaques and their natural history, identifies the level of disease burden, and guides personalized treatment.

Accuracy Comparisons

Understanding the CAC zero score and the accuracy of using CAC versus AI-enabled CCTA to assess heart disease risk.

Complementary Approach

When used together, how can these two tests enable better heart health outcomes?

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