Giving you critical information to confidently diagnose and treat Heart Failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).

EchoGo® Heart Failure

EchoGo® Heart Failure is a state-of-the-art, AI-driven solution that offers insights to assist in cardiac examinations. Our technology employs deep learning to detect HFpEF from any echocardiogram, using a single apical 4-chamber clip. We tackle the challenge of HFpEF detection, offering precise heart analysis within 30 minutes.

FDA Breakthrough Technology

The FDA cleared EchoGo® Heart Failure follows a clinical study that demonstrated its safety and efficacy. The results demonstrated excellent discrimination between patients with and without HFpEF. 

Get more clarity diagnosing HFpEF

As individuals age, myocardial function may decline, resulting in cardiac dysfunction and subsequent heart failure. This dysfunction may manifest in two distinct forms: Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction (HFrEF), characterized by inadequate blood pumping, and Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF), marked by insufficient ventricular filling. While the assessment of reduced ejection fraction is relatively straightforward, accurately evaluating diastolic function associated with HFpEF, poses a considerable challenge. Despite ultrasound's capacity to visualize systolic function, accurately assessing diastolic filling remains complex and requires meticulous evaluation.



"Understanding what HFpEF is, when it happens, and how to treat it remains the single largest unmet need in cardiovascular health."

National Institutes of Health

 

Large Global Burden 

Heart failure impacts 64 million worldwide, with HFpEF accounting for half of all cases  [1,2,3]

 

No. 1 Cost of Hospitalization 

$43B in 2020, increasing to $69B in 2030 [4]

 

High Readmission Rates and Substantial Morbidity

5 year readmission rates: 84%  [5]
5 year readmission mortality rates: 75.7% [5]

Diagnosis Remains Challenging

Up to 64% of patients may be undiagnosed 6

 

Unclear patient presentation

~50% of patients have 5+ major comorbidities, often sharing common signs and symptoms. [7]

Comorbid conditions 

Often affect diagnostic measurements, requiring specialist sonographers. [8]

 

Confounding disease characteristics

Lack of uniformity in disease definition. [8]

Limited access to specialized care

Inconsistent access to HF cardiologists and clinics.

 

 

 

 

 

Improving Diagnosis is Crucial

While transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is routinely used to estimate intracardiac filling pressure, there is considerable variability in its performance and interpretation, imposing a heavy burden on skills, time, and expertise. Clinical algorithms have been proposed in clinical guidelines but can be hindered by discordant or incomplete information, resulting in variable diagnostic capacity and adding burden. Up to 64% of HFpEF patients may be undiagnosed.  [6]


"There remains no readily available gold standard diagnostic test, with the diagnosis of HFpEF largely one of exclusion."

Emerging Therapies for HFpEF Treatment

  • Strong evidencen for the use of sodium–glucose cotransporter type 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors in the treatment of HFpEF.  [10, 11]
  • SGLT2i Empagliflozin can reduce hospitalizations by 29% in HFpEF patients [10]
  • Efficient and accurate diagnosis is needed to match patients to these new therapies.

EchoGo® Heart Failure

EchoGo® Heart Failure is designed to identify the presence or absence of HFpEF to manage patients more effectively. Disease suspicion is highlighted through reports sent to physician workstations in less than 30 minutes, to support smart, decisive interpretation. 

Using our FDA-cleared system, our platform has helped clinicians solve indeterminate cases and has helped providers reduce costs.

64%

of patients classified as indeterminate without EchoGo® Heart Failure

7%

of HFpEF patients classified as indeterminate with EchoGo® Heart Failure 12

"This novel solution applies AI to cardiovascular imaging to greatly simplify the identification of HFpEF patients, a diagnosis that can be challenging, and allows more expeditious treatment."

Real-world Validation

EchoGo® Heart Failure is a product of collaborative innovation, developed with the esteemed Mayo Clinic and rooted in the academic excellence of the University of Oxford. The technology has undergone rigorous real-world testing across diverse medical sites, delivering unparalleled accuracy in identifying disease. Customers include Indiana University, Northwestern University, City of Hope, and University of Wisconsin.

 

Reclassify >73% of non-diagnostic results

An independent study of 1,284 patients conducted by Mayo Clinic and published in JACC Advances confirmed EchoGo® HFpEF improved the classification of patients with previously non-diagnostic results when compared to HFA-PEFF and H2FPEF scores [12] 

Identify high-risk patients

The diagnostic positive (HFpEF) had a 90% higher probability of dying over the 5 years. These cases have the opportunity for therapeutic intervention.  [12]
