The medical evidence is clear: Heart Scans save lives and are the gold standard for early detection and treatment of heart disease.

Roughly half of first time scan recipients will be shown to have active heart disease. These people need to be counseled on how progression of their heart disease can be prevented. Most should also have a repeat scan every 1 to 3 years to monitor the progress of their treatment.

Track Your Plaque was developed specifically to educate people and empower them with tools to prevent and even reverse their heart disease. It bridges the health information gap that exists between the traditional medical community and the exciting new technologies of heart scanning and heart disease prevention, including lipoprotein analysis.

For doctors, the Track Your Plaque program helps relieve the time and burden of counseling patients on how to take advantage of these new life-saving techniques. Track Your Plaque is interactive, allowing patients to ask questions, explore nutritional strategies, learn why exercise is important, and provides exhaustive resources on lipid management and treatment options.

For scan centers, Track Your Plaque is the "missing link" that motivates clients to return for repeat scans to monitor progression, stabilization, or regression.

For patients, the Track Your Plaque program can mean the difference between living an active, healthy life or dealing with debilitating disease, invasive surgery, and even death.

Heart scanning is a win, win situation for everyone when it engages your patients in an effective program of prevention. And Track Your Plaque is the best program available.

If you are a medical professional or scan center representative, below are tools for you to use that help your patients engage Track Your Plaque as their prevention program.

Step 2: Provide Your Patients With Useful Information

Track Your Plaque provides books, handouts, and displays to help engage your patients and clients in a self-directed program to detect, track, and control heart disease.  Perhaps the greatest benefit is the peace of mind from knowing that a diagnosis of heart disease based on their heart scan is not a death sentence.  Once armed with this knowledge and the many simple treatments available they can slow, halt or even reverse their heart disease much like any other chronic disease.

Step 3: Enroll Your Customers in Track Your Plaque

The Track Your Plaque program provides your patients with an extensive collection of reports and tools for reducing their heart disease risk once they’ve had a heart scan.

Enrolling your scanned patients in the Track Your Plaque program provides your scan center with several advantages:

  • Dramatically increase your repeat scan volume—The Track Your Plaque program is built on the concept of serial scanning. Repeat scan rates can double when your patients understand the importance of monitoring plaque progression.
  • Wellness and corporate program development—This is the wave of the future for scan centers! Group enrollment can bring in hundreds of patients at a time. If the corporation or wellness group desires more than just a scan and wants to engage their members in a program of heart disease prevention, Track Your Plaque can provide it.
  • Track Your Plaque brings added value to heart scans—People who get scanned at your competitors get only a scan. People in your center get a scan and enrollment in the nation’s #1 program for heart disease prevention based on CT heart scanning—at no extra cost to you.

An initial three month membership in the Track Your Plaque program usually costs $39.95. Please check below if you and your center would be interested in offering this trial membership at any price you suggest - even free!

"We now know that 95% to 99% of the heart disease occurs at sites WITHOUT artery narrowing. Thus, the old tests we perform to detect narrowing and blockages have really misled us. We miss over 95% of the heart disease that causes heart attacks."

"plaque imaging is ...not to be confused with risk factors, which merely estimate a probability of developing atherosclerosis. Rather, [plaque imaging] directly measures atherosclerosis, irrespective of the presence or absence of risk factors; it provides the final common denominator and is the most powerful predictor of cardiac events."
