The Society for Heart Attack Prevention and Eradication (SHAPE) is a nonprofit organization based in Houston, TX, founded by Dr. Morteza Naghavi in 2001. SHAPE is dedicated to raising awareness on early detection and treatment of vulnerable patients at high risk of coronary artery disease.
SHAPE advocates for the use of coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring as a screening tool to detect individuals with calcified coronary plaque buildup, who may be at risk of experiencing a potentially fatal heart attack within 12 months. The organization is actively working towards securing national Medicare coverage for CAC scans to prevent heart attacks and save lives.
