The key to survival for cardiovascular disease patients is early detection, timely intervention and effective follow up. The most important component of diagnosis is cardiac function; but that determination may take up to 24 hours due to the qualitative, subjective nature of the imaging that is used today. The CardioWise analysis software enables a quantitative, definitive diagnostic evaluation of the heart system using the data from a single cardiac CT scan that can be acquired in a single heartbeat. CardioWise can pinpoint the location and extent of early injury and assist doctors in determining the appropriate level of intervention (medicine or surgery or a combination), and can be used to determine whether interventions are improving heart function over time. ​
