It uses American Heart Association's model and provides your estimated heart age based on your cholesterol and blood pressure numbers. It even provides a breakdown of which factors are contributing to your heart age.
If you check our veevo health website, you'll find that we are solely focused on offering CCTAs, nothing else.
A lot of people ask us: why not Calcium scores? Why not blood tests?
We want to build a future where not a single life is lost to heart attacks. It's an ambitious goal and we're confident in our ability to achieve it.
The goal starts with choosing the right technology - one that gives clarity and empowers people. We believe that's coronary CT angiogram (CCTA), not calcium score, because of three reasons:
The Veevo heart scan catches both hard plaque and soft plaque. It gives a person the full picture of their heart health and the ability to act early.
Once a person has their baseline Veevo scan, depending on their results, we can help identify the main factors and personalize their prevention. We can then track these factors over time and ensure that they're doing the best possible for their heart.
A concern with CCTAs and our heart scan is radiation. It's rightful to worry about it. Our goal is to make it as close as possible to CAC currently, and bring it to the levels of mammograms in the future. We're happy to provide you an estimate of your dosage after you sign up (and before any payments!). Just reach out to us.
We're excited to build a future free of heart disease!
