Cleerly™ Plaque Analysis (CCTA + Advanced Software)
Imagine being able to look ahead with advanced technology that helps assess coronary plaque—before a devastating event occurs. Traditional cardiology often identifies disease after symptoms appear, yet many events can occur without warning symptoms.
What Cleerly is designed to do
Cleerly is an AI-enabled CCTA analysis platform designed to quantify and characterize coronary plaque and stenosis—helping clinicians better understand atherosclerosis burden and guide risk-reduction strategies.
- Coronary plaque can build over time; prevention focuses on early detection + risk reduction. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
- AHA publishes widely used U.S. cardiovascular statistics for risk, events, and prevention. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
- Economic burden of cardiovascular disease is projected to rise substantially in coming decades. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
Why a Comprehensive Plaque Evaluation Matters
Atherosclerotic plaque—made up of cholesterol, fat, and other materials—can accumulate in coronary arteries over time. When plaque becomes unstable, it may contribute to a heart attack (myocardial infarction). Prevention aims to identify risk earlier and reduce progression through evidence-based strategies. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
Key points (patient-friendly)
- Many people do not notice symptoms until disease is advanced.
- Risk can be underestimated with traditional screening alone in some patients.
- Understanding plaque burden may help personalize prevention planning.
What Cleerly adds (in simple terms)
Cleerly analyzes coronary CT angiography (CCTA) images using advanced software to help quantify and characterize coronary plaque and stenosis.
It’s used to support clinician decision-making—alongside labs, vitals, symptoms, and other diagnostics.
How to Obtain This Test
First, you’ll be evaluated at the Center for Antiaging Aesthetic and Rejuvenation Medicine. After a thorough medical evaluation, Dr. Smith will determine appropriate testing for you, which may include a Coronary CT Angiography (CCTA) with Cleerly analysis when clinically indicated.
