VIRTUheart™ Technology

VIRTUheart™ is a computer model which provides physiological and anatomical information about diseased coronary arteries. Angiogram images are used to create 3D virtual representations of the coronary arteries which inform computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis. The result is an analysis of pressure dynamics inside the coronary arteries. This does not require invasive measurement with a wire, nor the induction of hyperaemic flow, two things which are thought to limit uptake of standard FFR measurement.
