New tech warns in advance about a heart attack that is about to happen

With the new technology doctors will be able to say which arteries are at risk of narrowing

A new method of analysing images from CT scans can predict which patients are at risk of a heart attack years before it occurs, researchers say.
 
The technology, developed by teams at Oxford University and institutions in Germany and the United States, uses algorithms to examine the fat surrounding coronary arteries as it shows up on computed tomography (CT) heart scans.
 
That fat gets altered when an artery becomes inflamed, serving as an early warning system for what one of the researchers believes could be up 30 percent of heart attacks.
