“The CCTA market for detecting CAD continues to grow rapidly and remains significantly under-penetrated, providing a strong backdrop for continued growth. Our FFR business remains strong and durable, while Plaque is rapidly emerging as a meaningful second growth engine—helping us win new accounts, deepen physician utilization and expand the value of the Heartflow platform for our customers. At the same time, record gross margin and improving operating leverage demonstrate the increasing scalability of our model, giving us greater confidence in long-term, profitable growth.”
