EchoGo® Heart Failure vs EchoGo Core

When choosing between Ultromics’ EchoGo® Heart Failure and EchoGo Core, physicians should consider their primary diagnostic needs. EchoGo® Heart Failure excels in the specific detection of Heart Failure with preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF), analyzing routine echocardiograms to provide insights within 20 minutes. This tool is particularly suited for cardiologists, emergency medicine, and internal medicine specialists who frequently encounter patients with suspected or diagnosed heart failure and require rapid, AI-powered support for HFpEF diagnosis. Its reimbursable CPT code (0932T) and established Medicare coverage also make it a practical choice for outpatient analysis.

In contrast, EchoGo Core offers a broader, automated echocardiogram analysis, focusing on precise measurements like Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (EF), Global Longitudinal Strain (GLS), and LV volumes. Its key practical difference lies in its comprehensive automation of fundamental echo measurements, eliminating manual contouring and analysis with rapid processing times of 10-60 seconds. This makes EchoGo Core ideal for cardiologists, critical care, and emergency medicine physicians who need consistent, accurate, and efficient general cardiac measurements for a wide range of patients. Practices seeking to standardize and accelerate their overall echo reading workflow, rather than focusing on a specific diagnosis like HFpEF, would benefit more from EchoGo Core’s capabilities.
