Mark McKenzie flew from Florida to Texas for a 15-minute coronary CT scan at Clear Cardio that detects soft, high-risk plaques conventional tests miss. The AI-enhanced imaging shows plaque size, density, and composition in 3-D, catching problems before strokes or heart attacks happen.
My name is Mark McKenzie, and I'm here at the Clear Cardio office. I elected to come from Florida to Texas to have a very innovative scan done to see the topology of my heart. The technology that's used is a CCTA with an AI overlay that does an amazing amount of quality 3D renderings That can show you the topology of the heart, the size, the density, the amount of plaques in the heart, so that you can prevent heart disease rather than to wait until you have to have a stroke, a heart attack, or death to get the information that you need. The staff here at Clear Cardio has been fantastic. Every step of the way, they've kept me well informed, and I appreciate the, the time that they spent The test in and of itself took a total of about 15 minutes, and the information generated from that is nothing less than astounding. You can't get this through any other type of imaging technology. A CAC score can only show you calcified plaques, but the plaques that are risky and dangerous to you are the soft plaques, and this is exactly the sweet spot for this CCTA. It's amazing to me that the general medical community doesn't lead with this as the primary test done to show absolutely everything about the heart, the arteries, and any other type of coronary vascular disease. They want to wait until you get to the point where you have a stroke or a heart attack before they want to intervene using stents and/or bypass surgeries, which are very expensive and they're very risky, where this is not expensive and not risky at all.
