Old CCTAs can be evaluated by Cleerly
Cleerly is a software algorithm that evaluates CCTA data, no more invasive than the CCTA itself
CAC and CCTA scans recommended no more frequently than every 3 years or every 5, if concerned about radiation
CCTA with Cleerly is better for accurate stenosis assessment
Carotid ultrasound doesn't show what's going on in the arteries of the heart
CCTA and Cleerly AI are advanced imaging and tool used to assess artery plaque and stenosis
CAC detects early coronary artery plaque, aiding cardiovascular prevention
Cardiac biomarkers and imaging needed for clinical decision-making
Femoral neck changes slower
Alternative screening locations needed in patients who have had hip replacement
Trabecular Bone Score (TBS) is not usually helpful in determining best treatment plan
Dexa scans recommended every 1-2 years due to slow bone density changes
Precision vs. accuracy in bone mineral density assessment
Discordance indicates REMS may be more accurate than DEXA
CAC should not be done more frequently than every 3-5 years
What are the best tools for measuring bone quality?
REMS and DEXA use differnet technologies, look at the bone in different ways but they're both valid
Strontium improves Dexa, but not necessarily bone strength
