The investment firm believes Heartflow’s artificial intelligence-based products will transform the standard of care in coronary artery disease (CAD) detection, particularly through its FFR CT and Plaque Analysis offerings.
These AI tools enhance the specificity of current non-invasive cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA) tests, providing physicians with more detailed insights for patient diagnosis and treatment planning.
Canaccord Genuity noted that Heartflow’s products are supported by compelling clinical and economic data, which has begun to influence medical society guidelines and reimbursement policies in the United States.
The firm expects Heartflow to experience continued growth as cardiologists increasingly adopt CCTA technology, potentially helping reduce heart attack incidence through improved detection of underlying disease causes in CAD, which remains the leading cause of death for both American men and women.
