Cardiology
Put Your Heart in
(Y)OUR Hands
Did you know that more than half of heart attacks occur in people that have “normal” cholesterol values? Or that 50-60% of heart attacks never have warning symptoms? Imagine being able to get ahead of cardiovascular issues NOW so that you can live healthier in the future?
Impact Health offers comprehensive cardiovascular testing focusing on the detection, prevention, and proactive treatment of heart disease. We combine cutting-edge diagnostics, novel biomarker testing, genetic assessment, along with more “traditional” testing such as ECG and Holter monitoring, coronary calcium scoring, central (aortic) blood pressure measurements, Echocardiography, Carotid Duplex ultrasound, and abdominal aortic aneurysm screening.
A vital component of our cardiovascular testing is the Cleerly Scan™. Named the “Best Overall AI Solution” in 2023, Cleerly is transforming the way clinicians approach the treatment of heart disease. Its clinically-proven digital technology helps precisely identify and define atherosclerosis (plaque build-up in the heart’s arteries).
Unlike stress testing and traditional coronary angiography, Cleerly provides direct visualization of not just the inside of the coronary arteries, but invaluable clinical information about the composition of the lining of the arteries – the actual plaque characteristics themselves. Armed with this valuable information, Impact Health is able to provide you with the most accurate and granular clinical information in a non-invasive manner. This enables us to individualize treatment plans, as well as providing lifestyle and dietary approaches to treat and reverse disease. Often, patients are able to avoid taking prescription medications with potential toxicity and side effects, resulting in better outcomes.
At Impact Health we arm you with accurate information about the status of your cardiovascular disease, and your true risk. We are here to help you navigate your own heart health journey by detecting and treating heart disease at the earliest possible stages.
The Power of Preventive
Heart Health
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) affects over 70 million Americans and is the leading cause of death in the United States, yet most diagnostic testing remains reactive rather than proactive. Traditional testing often identifies CVD only after significant disease progression, rather than focusing on early risk detection and preventive measures. At Impact Health, we believe that up to 90% of CVD is preventable with the right knowledge and actions before symptoms arise. CVD results from a complex mix of lifestyle choices, genetics, and other health and environmental factors, all of which vary greatly between individuals.
To truly prevent CVD, our approach is proactive and personalized. We go beyond traditional assessments of common risk factors like high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking, and high cholesterol. Our practice provides an in-depth, individualized analysis of lifestyle and diet, advanced blood and biomarker panels that reveal early indicators of plaque progression and vascular inflammation, and advanced cardiovascular imaging. Utilizing this aggressive and proactive approach, we empower individuals to actively manage and lower their heart disease risk. Knowledge is power, and in the case of your heart, knowledge can mean longevity.
The Power of Preventive
Heart Health
Kudos to you if you’re already embracing preventive cardiology by having regular check-ups with your doctor and putting in the heart-friendly proactive work such as eating healthy and staying active. While proactive, these measures are not the only predictors of heart health. Sometimes, there are factors beyond our control or knowledge.
In collaboration with Impact Health, you can now get the complete picture of your heart health.
What does this mean for you?
- More advanced testing
- Better results
- More informed decisions about your health moving forward
Combining this knowledge along with all the other proactive things you’re doing to maintain a healthy lifestyle gives you the best chance of keeping your heart healthy for the long term.
Knowledge is power, and in the case of your heart, knowledge can mean longevity.
Cleerly™ Scan:
Advanced Cardiovascular Testing
Every 1.7 seconds, cardiovascular disease takes someone’s life. Over half of the individuals who die or suffer from a heart attack experience no prior symptoms, but imagine if they had known their risk ahead of time?
Now, with our advanced testing they can.
At Impact Health, we offer Cleerly™, one of the most
advanced cardiac tests available today.
The Cleerly™ heart scan is a revolutionary tool in cardiovascular prevention, offering advanced insights into heart health that go far beyond traditional cardiac risk assessments and angiographic analysis. While conventional evaluations often rely on general risk factors like age, cholesterol levels, and blood pressure, Cleerly’s innovative technology provides a precise, image-based analysis of plaque buildup within the coronary arteries. Using specialized AI-driven software, Cleerly™ quantifies and characterizes plaque types, distinguishing between stable and potentially unstable plaques—those most likely to lead to cardiovascular events. This level of detail allows for a proactive, personalized approach to heart health, focusing on early intervention to prevent the progression of heart disease.
Population based cardiac risk assessments have limitations, and are often imprecise. This can lead to a one-size-fits-all approach, potentially overlooking important individual variations in arterial health and the specific types of plaque that may pose immediate threats. The Clearly™ heart scan overcomes these limitations by providing a direct view of coronary artery health, enabling targeted treatments based on the actual presence and composition of an individual’s coronary arterial plaque. With this information, patients can make informed decisions about lifestyle adjustments, medication, or other preventive measures to significantly reduce their risk of cardiovascular disease.
At Impact Health, our physicians bring years of experience in interpreting and managing Cleerly™ scan results, ensuring that patients receive precise and personalized guidance based on their scan findings. Our practice is also equipped with the fastest CT scanner in the region, which not only allows for shorter imaging times but also minimizes radiation exposure, enhancing both safety and comfort. This combination of expertise, advanced technology, and commitment to patient-centered care positions Impact Health as a leader in proactive heart health, empowering patients to stay ahead of cardiovascular risks and make informed choices for lifelong well-being.
