Quantitative plaque analysis uses CCTA and advanced AI analytics to quantify the exact amount and type of plaque in your heart arteries. The analysis can distinguish between calcified (hard) and non-calcified (soft) plaque, assess whether it shows high-risk features and track changes over time. Plaque analysis is a more detailed and objective way to understand your cardiovascular risk than traditional tests alone.

While cholesterol blood tests help estimate your risk, they do not show whether you actually have plaque in your arteries. It is like checking the weather forecast versus looking out the window—cholesterol gives a prediction, but a CCTA scan aided by AI quantitative plaque analysis shows what is already there. Some people with normal cholesterol still have dangerous plaque buildup, and this test helps uncover that hidden risk.

If your scan shows a large amount of plaque—especially soft or high-risk plaque—it means your chance of having a heart attack or other cardiac event may be higher. The good news is that this information gives you and your doctor a clear opportunity to act. With the right medications, dietary changes and lifestyle strategies, plaque can often be stabilized—or even reduced. Preventi.AI also allows you to monitor your progress over time to ensure your treatment is working.

In many cases, yes—especially the soft, fatty plaque that tends to be more dangerous. Research has shown that with effective treatment—including cholesterol-lowering therapy, blood pressure control, and healthy habits—plaque volume can decrease and shift into a more stable form. That means lower risk of heart attack and better long-term outcomes. Preventi.AI tracks these changes with repeat scans when appropriate, so we can measure your success in a data-driven, personalized way.
