Caristo’s AI Technology for Coronary Inflammation Measurement and Risk Assessment Can Transform Risk Stratification and Management of Patients
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — New research, presented today at the American Heart Association’s Late Breaking Science Sessions, has found that AI technology from Caristo Diagnostics can predict fatal and non-fatal cardiac events independently from routine clinical risk scores and coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) interpretation, and can significantly impact treatment for coronary artery disease (CAD) by transforming risk stratification and management of patients undergoing routine CCTA.

From the main stage in front of thousands of cardiologists from around the world, Professor Charalambos Antoniades from the University of Oxford delivered the presentation titled “Novel AI Technology to Improve Risk Stratification of Patients Without Obstructive Coronary Artery Disease Undergoing CCTA.” Clinical data from more than 40,000 patients were analyzed as part of the Oxford Risk Factors And Non-invasive imaging (ORFAN) study. ORFAN is the world’s largest prospective outcomes study designed to evaluate CT imaging biomarkers in predicting long-term cardiovascular outcomes, and currently contains clinical data for more than 135,000 people undergoing routine CCTA scans.
Key study findings include:
Among patients undergoing CCTA, the majority of fatal and non-fatal cardiac events occurred in those who did not have obstructive CAD at the time of imaging. Specifically, there are twice as many heart attacks and cardiac deaths in the group without obstructive CAD versus those with obstructive CAD.Coronary inflammation, as measured by Caristo’s CaRi-Heart® FAI-Score, predicted fatal and non-fatal cardiac events related to all major coronary arteries (LAD, LCx, RCA), independent of routine risk factors and CCTA interpretation (such as CADRADS2.0).Furthermore, among patients who had no plaque and zero calcium at time of CCTA, those with the most abnormal FAI-Score results in the LAD vessel experienced 11-fold higher risk for cardiac mortality and 5-fold higher risk for major adverse cardiac events (MACE).CaRi-Heart Risk was used in the ORFAN study as the “AI-Risk” model for patient risk reclassification. CaRi-Heart Risk reclassifies ~30% patients to higher and ~10% patients to lower risk categories, and when presented to clinicians, results in changes of management in approximately half of the patients. Most changes were due to clinicians’ decision to target the previously undetected coronary inflammation.More than 8 million Americans visit hospital emergency departments experiencing chest pain every year. The standard test for these patients, CCTA, searches for CAD caused by the narrowing (stenosis) or blockage (caused by plaque) of blood vessels that supply the heart. But in three quarters of cases, there is no clear sign of significant narrowing at the time of CCTA. Nonetheless, many of these people still die from a heart attack within a few years as a result of small but inflamed plaques rupturing.
“Coronary inflammation is a crucial piece of the puzzle in predicting heart attack risk,” said Antoniades. “With this new AI-enhanced technology, we have introduced a new inflammatory risk-driven clinical pathway to prevent overlooking patients with seemingly ‘normal’ CCTA scans. This AI-driven assessment of inflammatory risk is a major step towards personalised medicine, customising the use of preventive treatments to the patients who need them.”
“We are excited to see these exceptional clinical results enabled by our CaRi-Heart technology,” said Frank Cheng, CEO of Caristo Diagnostics. “To eradicate heart disease as the number one cause of death globally, it is important for us to realize that people may have heart attack soon after a ‘normal’ CCTA test showing zero calcium score, no plaque, and no stenosis. The CaRi-Heart technology has the potential to save millions of lives worldwide by improving risk stratification based on CCTA-based coronary inflammation measurement. We look forward to introducing our technology across geographies to transform cardiac care and make heart attacks a preventable reality worldwide.”

About the CaRi-Heart® Technology
Named first of “7 Technologies That Could Change Heart Healthcare Forevermore” by the Robb Report, the CaRi-Heart technology is Caristo’s flagship offering, which aids coronary artery disease diagnosis with improved risk prediction. It applies advanced AI algorithms to routine cardiac CT scans to visualize and quantify coronary inflammation, which is the previously invisible root cause of the disease. Each patient’s CaRi-Heart report includes several clinical results: (1) the patient-specific Fat Attenuation Index ScoreTM (FAI ScoreTM), a novel and patented biomarker for the measurement of coronary inflammation, which indicates the patient’s risk in % relative to a matched peer group; (2) CaRi-Heart Risk, which assesses the absolute 8-year risk of a fatal heart attack (based on both coronary inflammation status and standard clinical risks factors); and (3) coronary plaque-specific characterization and quantification. The CaRi-Heart Analysis is supported by the CaRi-Heart software, which is cloud-based and agnostic to the type of scanner generating the routine cardiac CT images. The CaRi-Heart technology is CE Mark certified under the latest EU MDR, with UKCA marking having been received in September 2022. The CaRi-Heart technology is limited to research use in the U.S. before the FDA grants marketing authorization.
Multiple patents underpinning CaRi-Heart technologies have been granted in major jurisdictions around the world. In addition, exceptional validation results showing CaRi-Heart technology’s ability to aid the prediction of heart attacks have been published in leading medical journals including the Lancet, JACC, European Heart Journal, and Cardiovascular Research. CaRi-Heart validation and implementation projects have been supported by multiple UK government grants and awards, including the NHS AI Stage 3 Award for real-world evaluation and implementation of CaRi-Heart care pathway in multiple NHS hospitals. With its deep clinical insights, proven validity and implementation readiness, the CaRi-Heart Analysis Service and the resulting new care pathway can transform cardiac care around the world by aiding in better prediction and prevention of future heart attacks.

Global Methane Hub Announces the Enteric Fermentation Research & Development Accelerator, a $200M Agricultural Methane Mitigation Funding Initiative

Published

The Largest-Ever Globally Coordinated Funding Investment in Livestock Methane Mitigation Research Announced at the COP28 Business & Philanthropy Climate Forum
The public, private and philanthropic partnership includes Bezos Earth Fund, Quadrature Climate Fund, Gerstner Philanthropies, High Tide Foundation, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, The Zegar Family Foundation, Danone and more
DUBAI, UAE, Dec. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Today, at COP28, the Global Methane Hub (GMH) announced a more than $200 million funding initiative between public, private and philanthropic partners including the Bezos Earth Fund, Quadrature Climate Fund, Gerstner Philanthropies, High Tide Foundation, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, The Zegar Family Foundation, Danone, the Governments of Ireland, New Zealand and the United States, for research and development (R&D) technologies to meaningfully address and reduce methane emissions from livestock. 

The Enteric Fermentation R&D Accelerator, or Accelerator, is the largest-ever, globally coordinated investment of breakthrough research tackling livestock methane emissions. The Global Methane Hub announced the intention to establish the Accelerator at COP27 as an AIM for Climate Innovation Sprint. The Accelerator will unite funders, guided by a science oversight committee, to invest in a globally coordinated research plan. This strategy aims to address gaps in current research and enhance existing efforts. The strategy includes work on exploring new and alternate livestock feed additives, tools to breed low-methane livestock, immunological studies for a methane vaccine, understanding the organisms in the rumen and their functions, and lowering the costs of measurement, essential to generate evidence for regulatory approval and validation of mitigation technologies.
About 40% of the world’s methane emissions come from agriculture, and 70% of that is due to enteric fermentation. This process happens in cows’ digestive systems when sugars are broken down into methane and released through belching. Unfortunately, current research on enteric fermentation is not extensive or coordinated enough to provide efficient and transformative solutions to significantly benefit farmers.
This is the latest milestone to mark the impact GMH is having on global methane reduction efforts since its founding in December 2021.
“The Accelerator is a prime example of the role philanthropy can play in driving substantive climate action and strategically aligning the key players working to solve the most pressing issue of our time,” said Hayden Montgomery, Agriculture Program Director at the Global Methane Hub. “With this effort to synchronize and consolidate public-good research on enteric methane, we aim to make multiple solutions to reduce enteric methane available quickly and provide proof of the efficacy of livestock mitigation technologies.”
“We know that cattle are responsible for most agricultural methane emissions. Promising technological and scientific solutions exist, but for too long, monetary and regulatory barriers have slowed progress and prevented critical research,” said Andy Jarvis, Director of Future of Food at the Bezos Earth Fund. “The Global Methane Hub’s Enteric Methane R&D Accelerator stands to change all of this, unlocking the resources needed to discover and develop low-cost solutions that will dramatically reduce methane emissions from livestock by 2030.”
“Through the Accelerator, we are poised to make a significant impact in driving innovation towards solutions to reduce enteric methane globally,” said Richard Lawrence, director and co-founder of High Tide Foundation. “I would like to thank Danone for stepping up as the first corporation committed to the Accelerator and I encourage others to do the same.”
“As a dairy company, curbing methane emissions is the fastest and most impactful way to slow down global warming,” said Olivier Verdelet, Vice-President Agriculture Cycle at Danone. “To do so, collaboration will be instrumental as we seek for new solutions, speed and sizable impacts. We are eager to collaborate with the Global Methane Hub and other partners to accelerate and test scalable innovations in the field. We believe this will help us build a sustainable, future-fit dairy category that is at the core of our mission to bring health through food to as many people as possible.”
Agricultural methane is projected to increase 40% by 2050. We would have to reduce emissions by 50% in order to meet the accords of the Paris Agreement to keep the global temperature rise to a maximum of 1.5 degrees Celsius. Reducing methane emissions from all sectors, including agriculture, is the fastest way to mitigate climate change.
