* Clear Heart was built to solve that problem, offering direct-to-consumer self-pay access alongside physician referrals, with no 6-week hospital wait and results within 24 hours
What does a cardiac CT scan actually show? In this video, Dr. Matthew Budoff - Professor of Medicine at the UCLA School of Medicine and one of the most experienced cardiac CT readers in the world, with over 100,000 studies interpreted across 30 years - explains exactly what happens during a coronary CT angiography, what it reveals about your heart, and why the results can change the course of your care.
Dr. Budoff walks through how the scan works in terms anyone can understand: advanced imaging that takes ultra-thin slices of the heart - "like a loaf of bread" - to visualize the heart muscle, coronary arteries, and heart valves in detail. He explains how plaque is identified, blockages are quantified, and results are delivered so that patients and their physicians can make informed treatment decisions.
He also addresses one of the biggest barriers to cardiac CT access: insurance. Despite being in clinical guidelines as a recommended test for over 20 years, many insurance companies still won't cover coronary CTA. Dr. Budoff and Clear Heart & Lung founder Kim Mischo explain how Clear Heart was built to solve that problem, offering direct-to-consumer self-pay access alongside physician referrals, with no 6-week hospital wait and results within 24 hours.
