Overview

AI-CVD® by HeartLung Corporation is an FDA-cleared, AI-powered quantitative imaging platform designed for opportunistic screening of cardiovascular and multisystem diseases. It automatically extracts clinically relevant anatomical and density-based measurements from existing chest and abdominal CT scans, without requiring additional imaging, radiation, contrast, or workflow disruption.

The platform transforms routine diagnostic imaging into a powerful, scalable engine for early detection and prevention, enabling healthcare providers to identify hidden risks for conditions such as coronary heart disease, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, stroke, osteoporosis, liver steatosis, and diabetes.

AI-CVD® integrates multiple FDA-cleared technologies, including AutoChamber™ for detecting enlarged cardiac chambers and AutoBMD™ for opportunistic bone mineral density measurement, offering a comprehensive approach to population-scale preventive imaging.

What Physicians Need to Know

Cardiac CT/MRI Analysis
AI-CVD is an FDA-cleared AI platform that extracts opportunistic screening information from cardiac or lung CT scans. It performs automated CT-derived anatomical and density-based measurements. Key modules include coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring, aortic wall, aortic valve, and mitral valve calcium assessment, cardiac chamber volumetry, epicardial fat volumetry, aorta and pulmonary artery sizing, lung attenuation analysis, liver attenuation analysis, and bone mineral density and muscle-fat composition.
Arrhythmia Detection Accuracy
The tool provides insights into atrial fibrillation (AFib) risk through AI-driven analysis of cardiac chamber volumes from CT scans.
Heart Failure Risk Prediction
AI-CVD significantly enhances cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk stratification, including the prediction of heart failure, atrial fibrillation, stroke, total CVD, CVD death, and all-cause mortality. Its AI-driven analysis of cardiac chamber volumes offers actionable insights into heart failure risk. The AI-CVD-HF model, utilizing AI-derived features from CAC scans, demonstrated superior heart failure prediction with a 10-year AUC of 0.83 compared to PREVENT-HF.
Coronary Artery Assessment
AI-CVD extends beyond traditional coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring and coronary artery disease assessment. It includes FDA-cleared modules for CAC scoring, as well as the evaluation of aortic wall calcium, aortic valve calcium, and mitral valve calcium, identifying hidden heart risks for early intervention.

Frequently Asked Questions

AI-CVD tools can be integrated by analyzing existing imaging data, such as echocardiograms or CT scans, or electronic health record (EHR) data to provide risk stratification, assist in diagnosis, or predict outcomes. These tools often function as decision support systems, flagging potential issues or insights for physician review rather than replacing clinical judgment.
AI-CVD solutions, especially those for diagnosis or treatment recommendations, require regulatory clearance as medical devices (e.g., FDA in the US, CE Mark in Europe). Physicians must verify the product's regulatory status and ensure it adheres to data privacy regulations like HIPAA, as these systems often process sensitive patient data.
Traditional methods like the Framingham Risk Score, ASCVD Risk Estimator, and comprehensive physician-led clinical judgment based on patient history, physical exams, and standard diagnostic tests are primary alternatives. These might be preferred when AI data input is insufficient, or for patients with atypical presentations not well-represented in AI training data.
Pricing models for AI-CVD platforms often include subscription fees, per-study charges, or tiered licensing based on practice size or usage volume. ROI can be demonstrated through improved diagnostic accuracy, earlier intervention, reduced readmissions, optimized resource allocation, and potentially better patient outcomes, though direct reimbursement for AI use is still evolving.
Key limitations include potential biases in training data leading to reduced accuracy in diverse populations, the 'black box' nature of some algorithms making interpretability difficult, and the critical need for high-quality, standardized data input. AI also lacks the ability to fully integrate a patient's clinical factors like history and lifestyle, and over-reliance could risk 'deskilling' physicians.
Physicians should expect robust clinical validation studies demonstrating the AI-CVD tool's accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity in relevant patient populations, ideally published in peer-reviewed journals. Evidence should also address generalizability across diverse cohorts and demonstrate a clear clinical benefit or improved workflow efficiency in prospective studies.
