.In this episode of the Hey Mufreir! Podcast we are excited to have Tom Murphy, District Sales Manager for AI-Based Structural Heart Sales for HeartFlow FFRct!
Tom advocates for HeartFlow after sharing his personal journey of tests and labs that were not able to accurately point to the arterial narrowing he was having, which led him to have two stents placed. He explains how HeartFlow uses AI deep learning as well as human analysts to have a high accuracy noninvasive CT scan test for the detection of coronary artery diseases. Brian talks about his interest in the matter and shares the reasons behind why he desires to have an FFRct done with Tom. They compare the study to other standard coronary diagnostic procedures and discuss the benefits, availability, and costs of having it done. Technology has come a long way and is now able to detect more accurately coronary artery diseases and the severity of them, but Tom and Brian talk about how habits in healthcare take a long time to change and how there’s still an information gap in regards to new technology.
Tune in for a special episode that might save someone’s life!
