Cardiac CT A Cardiac Computed Tomography (CT) scan creates detailed images of the heart, its blood vessels and surrounding structures. This helps clinicians pinpoint plaque

buildup in patients’ coronary arteries.

HeartFlow™ Analysis Patients now have

access to the noninvasive HeartFlow analysis. This personalized cardiac test helps clinicians diagnose coronary artery disease by using coronary scans to provide insights into arterial blockage and the impact it has on the heart. This helps clinicians determine the next best steps in a patient’s treatment plan.

This new analysis is supported by the ACC/AHA Chest Pain Guidelines and has been adopted by more than 725 hospitals worldwide, including 80 percent of the Top 50 Heart Hospitals in the US. New level 1 clinical evidence now shows that the HeartFlow strategy is a frontline diagnostic pathway for patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD).
