SUMMARY:FREE Public Talk: Predicting heart attacks years before they happen
DESCRIPTION:Imagine if you could find out if you were likely to have a heart attack in ten years’ time. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSome 2.3 million people in the UK are living with coronary heart disease. Computed tomography (CT) heart scans are the recommended test for people with cardiac chest pain. These images assess narrowing and obstruction in the heart and blood vessels. But they fail to pick up half of the heart attacks that occur. \n\n\n\nResearch has shown that changes in the fatty tissue and increased inflammation around coronary vessels is linked to a higher risk of fatal heart attacks. \n\n\n\nIn this talk\, Clinical Research Fellow Kenneth Chan will explain how a new device developed in Oxford combines the CT scan with artificial intelligence to detect these biological processes –invisible to the human eye – that precede the narrowing of the arteries and cause heart attacks. \n\n\n\nThis CaRi-Heart device\, now successfully trialled in NHS hospitals\, promises to be a game-changer in our efforts to prevent cardiovascular disease. \n\n\n\nFREE entry\, no booking required. Refreshments at 5.40 for a 6pm start.
