The smart start to heart care, close to home.
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is the most common type of heart disease and the leading cause of heart attacks. (1,2) It occurs when plaque builds up in the coronary arteries, potentially restricting blood flow to the heart. This buildup can result in chest pain or even lead to a heart attack. Most people who suffer a heart attack don’t have prior symptoms and are considered low risk by traditional measures. (3,4)
A heart attack shouldn’t be the first sign of heart disease. CCTA + Heartflow Analysis offers a more comprehensive (5) view of your heart’s health, allowing more informed decision making for you and your physician. (6,7)
Aspire Rural Health System is advancing the assessment of your heart health with Heartflow Analysis. Using images from a non-invasive heart scan, also known as a coronary CTA, this AI-enabled heart test provides a personalized 3D model of your coronary arteries that shows how disease may be impacting blood flow to your heart, as well as identifying the amount, location, and type of plaque present. This detailed information helps you and your doctor better understand the severity of your disease and determine a personalized treatment plan. (6,7)
Heartflow Analysis is a technology that uses images from your heart scan, so no invasive tests or anesthesia are needed.
Heartflow Analysis has demonstrated superior accuracy in diagnosing CAD (7,8) and is clinically proven to align with results from more invasive tests. (9)
Heartflow builds a personalized, 3D model of your arteries, using images already taken during your heart scan.
Heartflow Analysis can go beyond calcium scoring by identifying higher risk plaques that are most likely to cause a cardiac event. (5)
Heartflow Analysis identifies how much and what type of plaque is present in your arteries and measures any blockages that could be limiting blood flow to your heart, providing information to help guide your personalized treatment plan. (6,7)
1. Scan: Your doctor will order a non-invasive Coronary CTA (CCTA) scan of your heart to look for disease.
2. Measure: Using your scan, the images undergo advanced AI processing to generate a personalized, 3D model of your arteries. Your report will measure blood flow and plaque buildup in your coronary arteries.
3. Act: Your doctor receives a personalized, color-coded 3D model of your coronary arteries and detailed insights about your heart. With all the information in hand, you and your provider can make an informed choice on the best treatment pathway for you.5,6
