From Head to Heart to Body
Atherosclerosis is a systemic pathology where plaque characteristics in peripheral vessels serve as a reliable proxy for coronary health, necessitating a holistic diagnostic view of the patient's vasculature1. This comprehensive evaluation is particularly vital in the context of structural heart interventions like Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR), where the interplay between vascular health and valvular anatomy dictates clinical strategy. By utilizing broad-coverage CT imaging and quantitative analysis, clinicians can precisely map the aorta-aortic root complex and calcification patterns, transforming complex anatomical data into a logical framework for accurate valve sizing and optimized procedural outcomes2.
CT Cardiovascular Combined Analysis integrates cardiac, vascular and valve assessments by unifying the capabilities of CT Heart and CT Vessel within a single post-processing application. From coronary arteries and systemic vasculature to aortic root and valve evaluation, it delivers a comprehensive solution for broad-ranged cardiovascular examinations. The unified workflow consolidates all essential tools in one place, empowering physicians with efficient, consistent and clinically actionable insights across the full spectrum of cardiovascular disease.
