What if the standard approach to heart disease was proactive, not reactive?
Nearly 40% of new heart failure patients are diagnosed in acute care settings, when almost half of these patients had potential symptoms in the prior six months1.
Caption Care enables you to find and address heart failure earlier across your member population — before undiagnosed issues become serious.

Advancing the standard of care to meet cardiac screening guidelines
Echocardiography recommendations across disease states:
Cardiac
- Proactive evaluation of patients with risk factors2
- Asymptomatic patients with hypertension3
Diabetes
- Screening for Stage B & C heart failure through echo and/or BNP test4
Cancer
- Baseline evaluation for new cancer diagnoses and long-term follow-up based on risk of cardiotoxicity5
Renal
- Before the start of dialysis, regardless of symptoms
- 1-3 months into dialysis
- 3-yearly intervals thereafter6
Risk factors for development of heart failure2:
- Hypertension
- Coronary artery disease
- Diabetes mellitus or metabolic syndrome
- Morbid obesity
- Current or former smoker
- Chronic kidney disease stage III or greater
- Peripheral arterial disease
- Prior stroke or transient ischemic attack
- Exposure to cardiotoxic agents
- Positive family history of a cardiomyopathy
- Obstructive sleep apnea (for right ventricular failure)
- History of long COVID
