This confirms that the pain was ischemia and is now resovled. Thus, it has recently become generally accepted that most plaque ruptures resulting in myocardial infarction occur in plaques that narrow the lumen diameter by 40% of the arterial cross section may be involved by plaque. The i nitial hs troponin I returned 75%.

Food and Drug Administration ( FDA )-cleared Cleerly ISCHEMIA software device applied to a non-invasive coronary CT angiogram ( CCTA ) can be billed using the new Category I CPT code 75580. Prior studies have demonstrated the independent and incremental benefit of Cleerly ISCHEMIA applied to CCTA beyond traditional assessment.

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."

ACS may arise from the disruption of an atherosclerotic plaque, ultimately leading to acute ischemia and myocardial infarction. Colchicine exerts anti-inflammatory properties affecting both the myocardium and atherosclerotic plaque by modulating the activity of monocyte/macrophages, neutrophils, and platelets.

The company reports that its clinically-proven, AI-based digital care platform works with coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) imaging to help clinicians precisely identify and define atherosclerosis earlier, enabling them to provide personalized, life-saving treatment plans for all patients throughout their care continuum.

This EKG is diagnostic of transmural ischemia of the inferior wall. The scan also showed “scattered coronary artery plaques”. __ Smith comment 1 : the appropriate management at this point is to lower the blood pressure (lower afterload, which increases myocardial oxygen demand). Lead I also shows reciprocal ST depression.

1 Atherosclerosis is a systemic disease that affects multiple vascular regions and is particularly severe in PAD patients, where up to 80 percent suffer from concurrent coronary artery disease (CAD), historically linked with a mortality rate exceeding 50 percent within five years.
