A proposito di questo titolo
What if you could see heart disease years before your first symptom?
In this episode of Cardio Conversations with Jen and Ankit, we put on our detective hats and dive into the world of early detection of coronary artery disease. Chest pain isn’t the only clue — in fact, one-third of first heart attacks occur in people with no warning signs at all.
Dr. Ankitkumar Patel, interventional cardiologist, and Jennifer Abitabilo, advanced practice nurse, break down the tools, technology, and clinical reasoning that allow us to detect dangerous plaque before it strikes. From coronary calcium scoring to coronary CT angiography to AI-powered plaque analysis, this episode explores the science that is reshaping prevention and early detection.
🔑 In this episode you’ll learn:
Why symptoms aren’t a reliable warning sign.
How calcium scoring works and why it can be more predictive than cholesterol.
The role of AI in identifying high-risk plaques invisible to the naked eye.
How modern imaging reduces unnecessary invasive procedures.
Two practical questions to ask your doctor about early detection.
