MILLER, PHD, LED THE DEVELOPMENT OF A NEW "ATHEROSCLEROSIS ATLAS" THAT DETAILS, AT THE LEVEL OF INDIVIDUAL CELLS, CRITICAL PROCESSES RESPONSIBLE FOR FORMING THE HARMFUL PLAQUE BUILDUP THAT CAUSES HEART ATTACKS, STROKES AND CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE. Over time, fatty plaques build up inside the arteries, where they can slow blood flow.

The CaRi-Plaque technology supports non-invasive analysis of coronary anatomy and pathology from routine coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) scans to determine the presence, extent and severity of coronary plaques and luminal stenosis (narrowing of arteries). But with AI, we can change that.

For every 20mmHg increase in systolic (Top Number) blood pressure, the risk of dying from a heart attack or stroke doubles 3. A cardiac CT is a low-dose CT scan of your heart that assesses whether or not you have plaque in your coronary arteries and, if so, how much. Blood pressure is easy to check.

Did you know that one in four adults will suffer a stroke at some point in their life? A stroke occurs when the carotid arteries, the two main arteries that supply blood to the brain, become narrowed and restrict its flow. This often results from plaque build-up within the arteries known as carotid disease.
