SQuEEZ (Stretch Quantifier for Endocardial Engraved Zones is an advanced, non-invasive cardiac analysis software developed by CardioWise, Inc. It utilizes high-resolution cardiac CT scans to provide a comprehensive, quantitative evaluation of heart function, including coronary arteries, myocardium, and valves, all from a single heartbeat acquisition. This innovative tool generates easy-to-interpret 3D color contour maps, highlighting areas of normal and impaired heart function, thereby reducing diagnostic bias and enhancing clinical decision-making. Key Features and Functionality: - Comprehensive Heart Assessment: Simultaneously evaluates coronary arteries, myocardial function, and valve performance, offering a holistic view of cardiac health. - Quantitative Analysis: Provides objective, repeatable measurements of myocardial function, enabling precise tracking of heart health over time. - Rapid, Non-Invasive Imaging: Acquires necessary data in a single heartbeat, minimizing patient exposure to radiation and expediting the diagnostic process. - User-Friendly Visualizations: Generates intuitive 3D color maps that clearly delineate functional and dysfunctional heart regions, facilitating accurate interpretation. - Cloud-Based Service: Operates as a Software as a Service (SaaS, allowing for streamlined image analysis and easy sharing of results among healthcare providers without the need for complex software installations. Primary Value and Problem Solved: SQuEEZ addresses the critical need for a single, efficient diagnostic test capable of providing a quantitative assessment of all major heart components. Traditional methods often require multiple imaging tests, leading to increased costs, longer diagnostic timelines, and potential inconsistencies. By consolidating this process into one rapid, non-invasive procedure, SQuEEZ enhances diagnostic accuracy, reduces evaluator bias, and supports timely, informed treatment decisions, ultimately improving patient outcomes in cardiovascular care.
