Risk Stratification Based on TPV, an Independent Predictor of Events Heartflow Plaque Staging TM , the only staging tool based on total plaque volume * , is now included with every Heartflow Plaque Analysis Data from over 36,000 patients validate the accuracy, reproducibility and utility of Heartflow Plaque Analysis SAN FRANCISCO, July 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Heartflow, Inc. (Heartflow) (Nasdaq: HTFL), the leader in AI technology for coronary artery disease (CAD), today announced eight new datasets from clinical studies spanning more than 36,000 patients will be presented at the Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography (SCCT) 2026 Annual Scientific Meeting taking place July 9-12, 2026 in San Diego. These studies reveal over 50% of symptomatic patients with zero coronary artery calcium (CAC) harbor significant non-calcified plaque that traditional CAC scoring cannot detect. This underscores a serious diagnostic gap in accurately risk stratifying patients to impact their clinical outcomes. Heartflow Plaque Analysis with Heartflow Plaque Staging closes this gap. The new data show Heartflow's technology comprehensively reclassifies risk, is highly reproducible, and remains consistent across scanner types— making Heartflow the trusted standard in AI-powered coronary plaque analysis. Building on this evidence, Heartflow announced the launch of Heartflow Plaque Staging, the only CAD staging tool based on total plaque volume (TPV), integrated into every Heartflow Plaque Analysis. Heartflow Plaque Staging is backed by the strongest data with up to 16 years of follow-up and prospectively demonstrated clinical utility.1,2,3 Every case now includes a Heartflow Plaque Stage—from mild to extensive—based on TPV. Plaque Stages generate automatically in the Heartflow One platform's User Interface and Structured Report, enabling seamless integration into existing clinician workflows. This allows clinicians to precisely risk stratify patients and confidently manage their care without delay. "These data underscore why Heartflow Plaque Analysis is the standard for reliable AI-powered coronary plaque analysis," said Campbell Rogers, M.D., F.A.C.C., Chief Medical Officer at Heartflow. "Clinicians need confidence that a plaque measurement shift reflects true disease progression, not analytical variation. Our studies show total plaque volume-based staging is both reproducible and consistent across scanner types, giving physicians the insights they need for longitudinal disease tracking and evidence-based treatment decisions."
