What Heartflow does
Heartflow Analysis uses AI-based coronary modeling and physiologic simulation to support assessment of coronary artery disease from previously acquired CCTA studies.
Heartflow focuses on coronary artery disease rather than general cardiac imaging. Heartflow Analysis can combine Roadmap anatomy, Plaque Analysis, and FFRCT physiologic simulation from CCTA; PCI Navigator and staging features extend selected workflows. Availability and the exact product combination differ by country and clinical site.
Heartflow does not present one universal consumer subscription price. Provider contracting, payer coverage, reimbursement, patient cost sharing, analysis availability, prior authorization, and included outputs can differ by market and insurance status. Organizations should confirm commercial terms, ordering eligibility, rejected-study policy, interfaces, turnaround expectations, and local reimbursement before rollout.
Official materials describe encryption, identity controls, de-identification, regional separation, and a secure development lifecycle. The analysis is still limited by source image quality, motion, calcification, anatomy, patient eligibility, and documented warnings. It is decision support, not a standalone diagnosis. Programs should apply acquisition standards, track rejected or delayed studies, reconcile results with the full clinical picture, and preserve clinician judgment.
How Heartflow works
A qualified provider orders an eligible analysis after a coronary CT angiography study. Previously acquired DICOM images are securely transferred for processing, de-identified as described in Heartflow's platform materials, and used to create a patient-specific three-dimensional coronary model. Depending on the ordered and available products, algorithms and physiologic simulation produce Roadmap anatomy, plaque localization and quantification, or FFRCT values derived from modeled pressure and blood flow. Results return through Heartflow and connected clinical systems. Clinicians must assess image suitability and interpret results with symptoms, history, other testing, and professional judgment.
How to set up Heartflow
Define the eligible pathway
Document patient criteria, CCTA protocol, indications and warnings, available analyses, ordering clinicians, contraindications, payer rules, and accountable reviewers.
Confirm commercial and coverage terms
Clarify contracts, reimbursement, prior authorization, patient cost communication, rejected studies, included outputs, integrations, support, and turnaround expectations.
Configure secure transfer
Validate DICOM routing, de-identification, regions, encryption, identity, authorization, audit logs, retention, deletion, downtime, and incident procedures.
Pilot acquisition and interpretation
Test scanners and protocols, motion and calcification edge cases, acceptance, latency, PACS delivery, result reconciliation, and communication with representative cases.
Operate with clinical review
Require clinicians to combine results with symptoms and other tests, document discordance, monitor rejected studies and outcomes, and revalidate workflow changes.
Heartflow FAQs
What is Heartflow Analysis?
It is AI-based medical-device software that analyzes previously acquired coronary CT data to provide covered anatomy, plaque, and simulated coronary physiology information.
What is FFRCT?
It is a mathematically derived estimate of coronary physiology computed from simulated pressure, velocity, and blood flow in a three-dimensional model built from static CCTA images.
How much does Heartflow cost?
Provider contracts, payer coverage, reimbursement, patient cost sharing, and included analyses vary by market. Confirm current local terms before ordering or deployment.
Can Heartflow replace clinical judgment?
No. Official indications require qualified clinicians to use results with history, symptoms, other diagnostic tests, and professional judgment.
Was Heartflow tested hands-on for this listing?
No. This is a documentation-based review of current official product, indication, security, privacy, commercial-availability, and investor materials.
