Know the CVQuant Difference
Introducing our advanced coronary plaque analysis service that leverages cutting-edge AI modeling alongside cardiology interpretation. This innovative approach combines in-depth detection of calcified and non-calcified plaque years before what can be visualized in a coronary artery calcium scan. Using combined AI and human interpretation, we will securely deliver an accurate assessment of all coronary plaque types.
Symptoms Don't Always Occur.
Early plaque detection gives you the immediate power to start managing heart disease and reclaim your heart health.
Why Plaque is Dangerous
Coronary artery plaque (atherosclerosis) is formed by the accumulation of
cholesterol, calcium and cellular waste within the walls of your arteries. This plaque poses two major threats to your health:
1. Coronary Artery Narrowing:
Over decades, the plaque slowly begins to narrow the inside of the artery.
This restricts the flow of nutrients and oxygen to the heart muscle.
Symptoms like chest pain (angina) can be a symptom that your heart muscle
is not getting enough oxygen and can lead to a heart attack.
2. Plaque Rupture:
The early stages of coronary plaque growth can lead to fragile plaques that are prone to tear open leading to abrupt blockage of a coronary artery. These are called “vulnerable plaques” and can also result in life threatening heart attacks and severe heart damage.
These plaques are not detected by traditional stress tests or CT calcium scores.
Knowledge is the first step to prevention.
Know the Difference:
Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) vs. Plaque Analysis (CCTA)
Calcium Score: CAC Scan
"How much old, stable calcified plaque is present?"
-
Fast and simple CT scan without contrast
-
Counts up all the coronary calcium,
Agaston score (0-5000+) -
Higher number is associated with higher risk of heart attacks
Plaque Analysis: CCTA Scan
"How much old calcified and young non-calcified plaque is present?"
-
Detailed CT scan with iodine based contrast injected through an IV
-
Can see both calcified and non-calcified plaque
-
Can find “vulnerable plaque” which is of higher risk for heart attacks
