4 Benefits of HeartFlow Coronary Imaging

If you are looking for a more accurate way to diagnose coronary artery disease, HeartFlow® may be the answer. HeartFlow is a non-invasive coronary artery disease (CAD) test that uses images from a CT scan to create a 3D model of your heart. This test can help your doctor determine if you have coronary artery disease and how severe it is.

Avoid Unnecessary Heart Catheterizations

HeartFlow imaging can help your doctor avoid unnecessary heart catheterizations. A heart cath is a more invasive CAD test that involves inserting a catheter into your heart. HeartFlow imaging can often provide the same information as a heart cath without the risk or discomfort.

Determine the Optimal Treatment Pathway

HeartFlow imaging can help your doctor determine the best course of treatment for you. HeartFlow provides detailed information about the severity of your CAD and how it is affecting your heart. This information can help your doctor tailor a treatment plan that is right for you.

Minimize Your Radiation Exposure

HeartFlow® is an imaging program that takes the data gathered during a normal CT scan, analyzes it, and creates an accurate 3D model, which means you will be exposed to less radiation than you would with additional CT scans. If you are worried about your radiation exposure, HeartFlow is a safe and effective option.
