FFR CT

Once a CTCA scan has been obtained we are able to send the giant data set off for advanced data processing to HeartFlow in the USA. This extra processing potentially saves many extra tests, including invasive angiograms, from being undertaken.

Find out more..

Using the latest technology combined with our Cardiology/Radiology MDT approach termed "The Guildford protocol" many of our patients avoid invasive angiography by having a Cardiac CT angiogram instead.

Until recently if formal review of the CT images on our workstation showed a possible narrowing in a vital position of the coronary tree more information is often required - leading to another test such as a stress echocardiogram, nuclear scan, Cardiac MRI or ultimately, an invasive angiogram. 

A new technology called CT-FFR may soon become available. The patient's CTCA Dicom images can be transferred to Heartflow for detailed computer analysis and the colour flow maps (as shown above) returned the next day, which very often tell us all that is needed, without further investigation.

It is widely expected that CTFFR will become widely available in the UK in future years.

CTFFR from Heartflow is explained below:

 

Want to know more details?

CTFFR  is a not yet available as a service we offer for referrals to our outpatients and rapid access chest pain clinics. We use Dobutamine Stress Echocardiography instead.

For patients without symptoms who have concerns we offer Heartscreen - a range of tests without consultation, including Calcum scoring.

As shown in the table below Heartscreen+ ranges from our starter Bronze right up to a sophisticated Heartscreen+ Platinum offering state of the art Calcium scoring used to detect coronary heart disease years before symptoms develop.
