• A Transformational Technology• Proprietary physics-based computational platform• Non-invasive diagnosis and therapeutic decision making for cardiac and vascular disease

• C-HEART• Combined with CT angiography, C-HEART models the reduction in blood flow across coronary

blockages due to coronary artery disease (CAD)• Non-invasively identifies coronary artery blockages that should be re-vascularized by a

subsequent invasive procedure (stent placement or surgery).• Has the potential to eliminate over one million unnecessary invasive coronary angiograms

performed annually in the US and EU that do not demonstrate obstructive CAD

• The C-HEART Advantage• Clinically validated indices of coronary blood flow obstruction (FFR and iFR)• Local, Point-of-Care, client-controlled PC workstation solution• Rapid, near real time, integrated diagnostic report (<30 minutes)• Complete data integrity and IT security

• Series A $20M for the commercial development and launch of C-HEART
