An example of a HeartFlow FFR-CT image showing the blood flow through what looked like a significant blockage on CT angiography alone, actually was not flow-limiting based on computational fluid dynamics. Use of the technology was supposed to reduce the number of diagnostic catheterizations in the FORECAST trial, but the costs of FFR-CT were not offset enough to show cost savings.

October 22, 2020 – In the FORECAST randomized clinical trial, the use of fractional flow reserve (FFR) derived from computed tomography (FFR-CT) did not significantly reduce costs, but did reduce the use of invasive coronary angiography (ICA). This study was looking to confirm that FFR-CT use would result in a lowering of costs to care for patients in the U.K. National Health System (NHS).
