1/ In the "gold rush" of medical AI, many platforms are racing to market. But in cardiology, the difference between a "good guess" and a "clinical standard" is the depth of the data behind it.
Here is why data depth is the ultimate competitive differentiator. 👇
Analyze the plaque. Know the risk. Treat with precision.
Real-world evidence from the DECIDE Registry is being presented for the first time at AHA 2026. We look forward to diving deeper into the data at our Expert Theater on personalized CAD risk assessment.
Heartflow took part in the "Coronary CT: From Advanced Diagnosis to Integrated Procedural Planning" conference, hosted at Humanitas Gavezzeni e Castelli in Bergamo, Italy.
It was a day of meaningful discussion with cardiologists, interventional cardiologists, and cardiac surgeons. Conversations centered on diagnostic precision with Heartflow FFRct Analysis and Heartflow Plaque Analysis, and on guided planning to optimize revascularization strategies and structural interventions.
We're proud to support the evolution of precision cardiology alongside leading experts to build more efficient, sustainable clinical pathways for patients.
What does successful CT-guided PCI planning look like when imaging and interventional teams work together?
This question is the focus of Episode 13 of @SYSTOLE_live's The Coronary Corner podcast. Drs. @yadersandoval and @esbrilakis are joined by Drs. @RyanMadderMD and Michael Gallagher for a discussion on developing a CT-guided PCI program, including the role of FFRct and how Heartflow PCI Navigator supports procedural planning and training.

🎙️ CT-Guided PCI: The Imager-Interventionalist Partnership
In Episode 13 of The Coronary Corner, @RyanMadderMD & Michael Gallagher discuss how imaging and interventional teams can partner to build a CT-guided PCI program—from FFR-CT to procedural planning with PCI Navigator.
“Don’t stop at stenosis severity—think about physiology, plaque burden, calcium distribution, and lesion length.”

PCI planning has historically happened during the case. What changes when planning happens before the case starts?
Two new data sets at TCT2026 look at that question.
Join our Lunch Symposium to hear directly from the PIs on what these findings mean for clinical practice.
New data at AHA 2026 explores what AI-enabled plaque analysis means for patient risk and outcomes. Hear from Dr. Campbell Rogers and visit us at Booth #711.

Join us for an Expert Theater with Dr. Mark Rabbat at NLA Fall Clinical Lipid Update 2026 on Saturday, October 3: Implementing CCTA and Heartflow Plaque Analysis to Guide Management of CAD.
We'll explore the clinical need to evolve risk assessment through new tools and emerging evidence, and discuss how Heartflow Plaque Analysis and the DECIDE Registry inform management strategies for patients with CAD.
Heading to #NASCI2026? Join us Sunday, September 27, for our lunch symposium, "Changing the Care Pathway with CCTA + Heartflow: An Ongoing Case Study.” Drs. @CsFuss, Bradley Allen, and Paul Cremer will explore how AI-powered coronary CTA is transforming the modern cardiac care pathway. Through real-world cases and registry insights, this symposium will demonstrate practical applications of the Heartflow One platform to sharpen diagnostic precision, implement plaque-guided care, and optimize radiology-cardiology workflows. We hope to see you there!
Heartflow is proud to sponsor the 9th Annual @Heart_SCCT Cardiovascular Disease Prevention Symposium on Saturday, October 10, from 10:10 am–2:50 pm ET.
Join this educational virtual event to understand the evolving landscape of preventive cardiology, novel therapies, and risk assessment tools to reduce cardiovascular risk.

Congratulations to Dr. @YChatzizisis and his team at the @UMiamiHealth on enrolling their first patient in the NAVIGATE-PCI Registry. Heartflow PCI Navigator, the first and only integrated, AI-powered PCI planning tool, can help improve treatment plans with insights to streamline procedures with increased efficiency and clinical confidence. We're proud to be part of this advancement in precision heart care for patients in South Florida.
#UMiami Health System is the first in Florida to use the AI-powered HeartFlow PCI Navigator to help guide heart procedures. https://t.co/CJEcjE7A63

Photon-Counting CT is opening new possibilities for cardiac imaging.
In a recent interview with @HCPLiveNews, Dr. @RonBlankstein discussed the technology’s potential, from improved resolution and visualization of calcified lesions to more detailed assessment of CAD.
He also explored our latest data demonstrating consistent results with Heartflow Plaque Analysis across conventional and Photon-Counting CT, including plaque quantification, stenosis grading, and FFRct. Watch the full clip: https://t.co/aOWy0tb9Na
Congratulations to Dr. @yadersandoval, Dr. @esbrilakis and their team at @MHIF_Heart on enrolling the first U.S. patient in the OPTIMAL P5 trial. Congratulations as well to Dr. @ColletCarlos and the @crfheart for leading this important research.
At Heartflow, we're proud to support this research and the continued advancement of CT-guided PCI planning with Heartflow PCI Navigator, helping clinicians approach even the most complex cases with greater confidence and precision.
Proud to build on our leadership in advanced coronary imaging and PCI research, enrolling the first US patient in the international OPTIMAL P5 clinical trial—advancing research for people with severely calcified #CAD 🌍️🫀 Led by @yadersandoval, @esbrilakis, and @CCAD_MHIF team!
How reliably can coronary plaque be measured over time?
Our recently released data demonstrated minimal variability between certified analysts and across repeat measurements, with 95% agreement when categorizing patients into total plaque volume-based stages.
Dr. @RonBlankstein joined @HCPLiveNews to discuss the findings and why reproducibility matters for longitudinal disease tracking and assessing treatment response: https://t.co/uXQsZx2pbM
A CAC score of zero doesn’t always tell the full story. In an interview with @HCPLiveNews , Dr. @RonBlankstein discussed findings from a DECIDE Registry sub-study showing that 50% of symptomatic patients with a CAC score of zero were reclassified into higher-risk categories with total plaque volume-based Heartflow Plaque Staging.
Hear from Dr. Blankstein on how looking beyond calcified plaque to overall plaque burden can help provide a more complete picture of cardiovascular risk: https://t.co/3HKpPoOuBX
Saints Hall of Famer Stan Brock recently joined the @iHeartMedia Seattle Voice podcast with Dr. Eugene Chang of CardioNow to share his experience participating in our GAMEFILM Registry.
Stan opened up about why he wanted to take a closer look at his heart health, and the value of having information you can act on. Dr. Chang added his clinical perspective, discussing how earlier insight into CAD can help inform more personalized care.

Our Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Campbell Rogers, recently sat down with @IEEEembs to discuss a challenge that has shaped much of his career: finding and understanding CAD earlier so patients can receive more personalized care.
The conversation touched on how far the field has come, the clinical evidence helping drive that progress, and newer advances like Heartflow PCI Navigator and our GAMEFILM Registry for former professional athletes.
