HeartFlow Reports New JAMA Network Open Publication Demonstrates the Coronary CT- HeartFlow Analysis Pathway Is ‘Dominant’ Compared to Stress Testing in Cost-Effectiveness Analysis
To evaluate clinical effectiveness, the authors looked at lifetime rates of heart attack and death, as well as efficiency of patient selection for invasive diagnostic coronary angiography (ICA) and revascularization, such as a stent procedure or bypass surgery. The authors found that compared to stress testing, coronary CTA with the HeartFlow Analysis improved by 50% the efficiency of selecting patients for invasive testing who then required coronary stenting or bypass procedures.
