July 17, 2024 — HeartFlow, a leader in non-invasive artificial intelligence (AI) heart care solutions, today announced it will be presenting new findings on the use of coronary computed tomography angiography (coronary CTA) in coronary artery disease (CAD) management and insights on CTA reimbursement at the upcoming 19th Annual Scientific Meeting of SCCT. The annual meeting will take place on July 18-21, 2024 in Washington, D.C.
Subset data from the PRECISE (Prospective Randomized Trial of the Optimal Evaluation of Cardiac Symptoms and Revascularization) Trial will also be presented. The PRECISE clinical trial data, originally presented in late 2022, confirmed CTA + FFRCT increases diagnostic accuracy, reduces unnecessary testing and offers higher confidence in identifying patients needing treatment versus traditional testing (stress nuclear, stress echo, and invasive coronary angiography). The new subset data analyzes the association between body mass index, testing performance and clinical outcomes in patients with stable chest pain.
New insights from the ADVANCE Registry, including analysis on the relationship between risk factors and quantified atherosclerotic burden and differences in plaque quantification in a Japanese patient population will be shared. Along with the significant work HeartFlow has undertaken to develop age and sex specific nomograms, these data will be a pivotal step to better stratify patients and impact treatment decisions going forward.
“The critical role of CTA in the diagnosis and management of coronary artery disease continues to drive every decision we make, ensuring the right patients are getting the right care at the right time,” said Campbell Rogers, Chief Medical Officer of HeartFlow. “This year, we are excited to share the latest insights on the importance of quantifying coronary artery plaque, as well as changes in the reimbursement landscape. We are pleased to continue providing robust clinical evidence as to how our products can help health care providers manage their patient’s heart health.”
