The FISH&CHIPS Study

Real-world study reveals significant reduction in all-cause and cardiovascular mortality.

A real world, multi-center, retrospective study including more than 90,000 patients assessing at a national level the incremental impact of adding FFRCT to a CCTA-first diagnostic paradigm for evaluating and managing coronary artery disease (CAD). The study was conducted in England and was funded by UK Medical Research Council (MRC).

The modern way to diagnose coronary artery disease

The path to diagnosing coronary artery disease (CAD) hasn’t always been clear or reliable.1,2 Until now. The pathway begins with a CCTA. If the physician sees disease, the CCTA images are sent to HeartFlow, where AI algorithms, computational fluid dynamics and trained analysts create the HeartFlow FFTCT Analysis. This personalized, color-coded 3-D model of a patient’s coronary arteries provides functional information about each blockage.

Disadvantages1, 2-6
Low sensitivity; high rate of false negatives; higher radiation exposure; lacks anatomic data
Often requires additional testing; lacks anatomic data
High sensitivity can lead to overutilization of invasive testing when not paired with functional information
Requires CCTA; Currently not as well known as other tests
Advantages1, 2-6
Accessible; high specificity; standard of care
Accessible; no radiation
Better long-term outcomes than usual care testing; lower radiation; provides anatomic data
More accurate than other non-invasive tests; provides anatomic and functional information; lower radiation; single patient visit
