Cardiovascular AI software developer HeartFlow has partnered with the Boone Heart Institute in Greenwood Village, CO, to launch Gamefilm Registry, a data collection effort to define cardiac risk in retired National Football League (NFL) players.
The registry will enroll 120 retired NFL players to assess cardiovascular risks using HeartFlow’s advanced imaging and AI-powered analysis tools, such as its Fractional Flow Reserve-CT (FFR-CT) software, which uses CT scans to calculate how much blood is flowing through the coronary arteries.
Gamefilm Registry provides insights into coronary artery disease prevalence, risk factors, and treatment protocols in retired athletes, a population that faces distinct risks due to the physical demands of their careers, HeartFlow noted.
