Diagnosing Coronary Artery Disease

Diagnosing Coronary Artery Disease

The primary symptom of coronary artery disease (CAD) is chest pain, often associated with breathing difficulties, dizziness or nausea. It is difficult to determine whether chest pain is related to the heart or not.¹ Because of this, healthcare professionals will refer patients to cardiology specialists for increasingly invasive and costly examinations.² The most common steps in diagnosing significant CAD can include general medical examination, exercise ECG, stress imaging, echocardiography, coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) and invasive coronary angiogram.

Chest pain is one of the most common reasons patients seek care in an emergency or primary care setting.9,10 However, 9 out of 10 patients with chest pain do not suffer from CAD, resulting in unnecessary diagnostic tests and increased healthcare costs.5,7,8

CADScor®System offers a new approach to early assessment and rule-out of CAD. Physicians now have an easy-to-use, rapid diagnostic aid for patients with chest pain and suspected CAD.

Quickly and easily rule-out significant CAD with at least 96% Confidence (Negative Predictive Value)*

CADScor®System is a point-of-care diagnostic aid that uses highly sensitive acoustics and advanced computational processing to analyze the patient’s coronary blood flow. The system calculates a patient-specific CAD-score, and couples it with risk factors to rapidly indicate the patient’s risk of significant coronary stenosis for immediate risk stratification, prior to potential secondary evaluation.3 CADScor®System has been used in over 40,000 patient assessments6 and has CE-marking and FDA De Novo clearance.
