On this industry-sponsored episode, host Praveen Ranganath is joined by guest Dr. Pete Tomlins, Head of Innovation, Caristo Diagnostics, to discuss the FAI-Score, a novel imaging marker that enables doctors to see coronary inflammation, the previously invisible underlying driver of heart attacks and stroke. Tune in to learn about:

  1. Pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) imaging - a ‘biosensor’ for invisible coronary inflammation
  2. FAI-Score – transforming PCAT imaging into a standardized clinical measure of coronary inflammation
  3. The future of cardiac risk assessment – combing invisible inflammation with visible plaque on CCTA
