This registry will aim to provide world-wide physicians the most accurate information on coronary plaque to improve cardiovascular risk prediction and support the selection of patient-specific treatment,” said Dr. De Cecco. The ultimate goal is to positively impact cardiovascular health globally with a reduction in cardiovascular events."

Everyone starts with no plaque in the coronary arteries, but over a long enough time frame, everyone develops plaque in their coronary arteries. By age 80, almost everyone will have evidence of advanced plaque in their coronary arteries, as defined by a cardiac CT 1. Plaque accumulation happens in stages. You got it.

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), caused by plaque buildup in arterial walls, is one of the leading causes of disability and death worldwide.1,2 3 Patients with ASCVD are at a higher risk for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) including heart attack or myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, and cardiovascular (CV) death.4

Share Let’s first state our goal when we are in the business of ‘Heart Disease Prevention’: To delay the onset of coronary artery disease (atherosclerosis/plaque) that might rupture and cause a heart attack. And the less plaque you have, the lower the risk of a heart attack.

CT coronary angiography, in addition to a CT CAC, is arguably the best test for estimating whether someone has evidence of coronary artery disease and what that means for their near-term risk of a heart attack. Mixed Plaque - A combination of both calcified and NON-calcified plaque. More often than you would think!
