Physicians have spent decades looking at the heart like plumbers, focusing only on the narrowing of the pipe. But the story of CAD is evolving into something more comprehensive.
Dr. Gibson reflects on this shift: “We have moved away from just being plumbers… to now this fully functional assessment of the wall and the flow here 30 years later. I think we’re getting there.” We’re proud to be a leader in the movement that is finally giving clinicians the full picture of patient health.

There’s often a significant gap between what physicians see with a standard “eyeball” read and what’s actually happening in the vessels. Dr. Wood recounts a powerful case where Heartflow technology provided the necessary clarity: “The initial read was a moderate stenosis… the FFRct pointed us to the fact that he had severe disease in these vessels and he underwent a CABG. It made a huge difference.”
AI-driven intelligence is about finding those life-changing insights that traditional assessments might miss: /insight/reimagining-coronary-care-the-evolution-of-anatomy-physiology-and-plaque/

Our experiential DECIDE demo at #ACC2026 was a hit and reinforced what we’ve seen in the DECIDE Registry: when clinicians have access to Heartflow Plaque Analysis, their risk and management decisions change.
In DECIDE, a management change was reported in over 50% of cases. At ACC, our demo saw clinicians change a patient’s risk profile in over 65% of cases.

When we look at the results of the PACIFIC study, the diagnostic accuracy of FFRct stands out compared to traditional testing. As Dr. Malissa Wood puts it: “The accuracy of the diagnosis of significant coronary disease was best with CT and FFRct. That really helped me feel more confident in utilizing CT as a first-line modality”.

Join Drs. Ron Blankstein and Todd Villines for a sponsored webinar with Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography (SCCT) on Wednesday, April 29th to explore the latest evidence behind CCTA and AI-driven plaque analysis.
With recent endorsements from major cardiovascular societies, it’s a perfect time to discuss how these tools are becoming essential for modern patient management. This session will dive into the clinical data and provide practical steps for integrating plaque analysis into your daily practice to help identify high-risk patients earlier.

Attending #SCAI2026 from April 23-25 in Montréal, Canada? We’ll be at booth #322 and hosting an educational dinner to discuss the shift to CT-guided PCI and our new pre-planning tool, PCI Navigator.
Looking forward to connecting with you there!
The story of coronary care is changing, and it’s time to embrace a new era of technology. Dr. Allen Taylor challenges the clinical community to move beyond outdated methods: “It’s time to get a smartphone and leave your flip phone behind.” By shifting to a disease-based model, we are transforming the way we diagnose and manage CAD.

AI-driven insights provide the confidence to move from detection to staging. Dr. Allen Taylor explains how AI plaque analysis allows for fast, accurate measurements of total plaque volume: “You’re not working in guesswork anymore…. You can stage disease, much like an oncologist does”.

Scaling a successful CCTA program requires both clinical precision and operational efficiency. Dr. Allen Taylor explains why major payers are embracing this shift: “Payers pay for CTA these days… they know that it’s economically efficient for them” because it leads to greater efficiency in care on both the prevention and cath lab sides.
