Imaging the disease moves beyond probability. Let’s move towards clinical pathways that screen for the disease to detect and treat #CAD before a heart attack @CAD_Frontiers @CVR_TomaszGuzik @gabrielsteg @Cleerlyhealth @CaristoHeart
Almost all scores/biomarkers approaches in the contemporary era over predict CV risk Time to pivot for a more accurate decision aid #CacTesting #SeeDiseaseTreatDisease
