Press releases may be edited for formatting or style | July 15, 2021 Business Affairs Cardiology

The HeartFlow Analysis is based on more than 25 years of scientific research and clinical data on the patient-specific modeling of blood flow in arteries. The Company has performed the HeartFlow Analysis on more than 100,000 patients through clinical development and commercialization.

The HeartFlow Analysis has regulatory clearance and is commercially available today in the U.S., the EU, the U.K. and Japan. The Company's commercial footprint includes over 470 customer sites globally, with 300 of those in the U.S., including 80% of the top 50 heart hospitals in the U.S., as listed by U.S. News and World Report. There are currently more than 425 publications specific to the HeartFlow Analysis in peer-reviewed medical journals studying over 10,000 patients with up to five years of follow up data. The data clearly demonstrate a higher diagnostic accuracy compared to other non-invasive tests2, an 83% reduction in unnecessary invasive angiograms, and with that a significant reduction in the total cost of care3.

HeartFlow is led by an experienced management team with significant cardiology, medical technology, and software expertise. The current Board of Directors is comprised of a combination of highly regarded investors and experienced operating executives including Chairman William Weldon, former Chairman and CEO of Johnson and Johnson, and Lonnie Smith, former Chairman and CEO of Intuitive Surgical. John Rodin, CEO of Longview, will join HeartFlow's Board of Directors upon completion of the merger.
