CardioDx hired Khush F. Mehta as CEO and a member of the board of directors on June 1.
Mehta joined the company from Siemens, where he served as the global head of the healthcare enterprise solutions division. He was also the chief strategy officer of Siemens Healthcare from 2010 to 2014.

CardioDX, a privately held molecular diagnostics company, manufactures the Corus CAD blood test that provides information on the likelihood of a person having obstructive coronary artery disease. The test accounts for a person’s age, sex and gene expression and calculates a score. A higher score means a person is more likely to have a significant narrowing or blockage in the heart arteries.
CardioDX has raised $284 million in total equity funding from 25 investors, according to CrunchBase. The company raised $12.37 million in series D funding on Feb. 22, two months after Timothy Henn joined CardioDX as chief financial officer.
