Defying the silent storm:

How AI can help with the detection and accelerated treatment of atherosclerotic disease

AI can detect high-risk atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) patients and streamline their journey to treatment

Nearly 1 in 10 Americans suffer from ASCVD today.1 It is estimated that more than 50% of these patients are not on lipid-lowering therapy.2 Moreover, studies suggest that over 65% of patients who are on lipid-lowering treatment do not achieve a guideline-recommended cholesterol level.3 This high-risk group of patients are at a higher risk of a subsequent cardiovascular episode.

PCSK9 inhibitors offer an efficacious therapeutic solution for high risk patients — approximately 75% of the post-heart attack and post-stroke cohort, today only a quarter of ASCVD patients are getting their cholesterol levels checked post-ASCVD episode, and many of these patients are missing these guideline-supported therapies.4
