In 2001, AMI introduced Coronary CT Angiography (CCTA), technologically the most advanced non-invasive CT exam for detecting coronary artery disease available in the world. Since then, AMI has accumulated one of the world’s largest case experiences of more than 10,000 examinations, setting the standard of excellence in Coronary CTA.
In 2004, the AMI Foundation formed the William J. Reilly Coronary CTA Fund. The fund provides free or low cost Coronary CTA exams to patients at risk for heart disease based on eligibility.
Bill was born in Philadelphia and grew up in Atlantic City. He graduated from Villanova University and became a Certified Public Accountant. He founded the partnership Reilly & Matthews, CPA, which survives today as Reilly, Matthews, Bonocini. Many of Bill’s friendships go back to grade school. With Bill it was, “Once a friend, always a friend.” He loved his family and friends, his occupation, his partners, his employees and his clients. Bill was a wonderful husband, father and grandfather. In 1986, Bill was diagnosed with very high cholesterol and triglycerides, and then eventually with heart disease. He never had a sign of trouble, was never out of breath, never had pain, but had been put on many different heart medications. His life never slowed down and he traveled all over the world. He worked every day, golfed often and enjoyed life.
His first catheterization took place in 1988 and then again in 1996, along with many doctors’ visits, stress tests, blood tests, diet changes, etc. In November 2002, Bill had another stress test and catheterization which showed he needed “some repair work”, but nothing that needed immediate attention... Two weeks later, Bill died in his sleep. We had put up the Christmas tree that day and had talked about the holidays, the upcoming tax season and our next vacation. He was happy, content, full of energy and looking forward to enjoying family and friends.
I feel confident that Coronary CTA would have made a difference in Bill’s life and for everyone who knew him. The unknown would have been known earlier, the urgency of his condition would have been discovered, there would have been less invasive procedures, and most of all, our life might have continued as we knew it. One of Bill’s favorite expressions was “Keep the Faith”... I have kept the faith, but the availability of this technology certainly would help many people who don’t know that their faith might soon be tested.
