A Personalized Heart Test
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death for both American men and women, according to the American Heart Association®. When the arteries leading to the heart become narrow or blocked, CAD develops, which may lead to a reduction in blood flow to the heart, causing chest pain, heart attacks and death. Despite CAD being common, many of the non-invasive tests available today have low accuracy rates in detecting the disease.

Using your existing coronary CT scan, the HeartFlow® technology creates a personalized digital 3D model of your coronary arteries. With trained specialists and powerful computer algorithms, the analysis will calculate if you have a blockage and how much each blockage limits blood flow.
