HeartSciences Announces Podium Presentation at World Congress of Anesthesiologists on the Utility of MyoVista® Wavelet ECG For Detection of Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction in Preoperative Patients
27 March 2024 - 12:00AM
Heart Test Laboratories, Inc. d/b/a HeartSciences (NASDAQ: HSCS;
HSCSW) (“HeartSciences” or the “Company”), an artificial
intelligence (AI)-powered medical technology company focused on
transforming ECGs/EKGs to save lives through earlier detection of
heart disease, today announced the podium presentation of a study
utilizing its MyoVista® wavECG device at the
18th World Congress
of Anesthesiologists in Singapore.
Preoperative left ventricular diastolic
dysfunction (LVDD) is very common and one of the important causes
of perioperative morbidity and mortality in cardiac and non-cardiac
surgeries. In the study, patients undergoing preoperative
anesthesia evaluation for cardiac and non-cardiac surgeries were
enrolled. For patients indicated for preoperative echocardiography,
LVDD was diagnosed and graded as per American Society of
Echocardiography (ASE) guidelines and a MyoVista wavECG was also
performed.
The author of the study stated in his
presentation, “In our cohort of mixed surgical population, the
MyoVista wavECG was useful as a screening tool with 100%
sensitivity. Based on these findings, 25 of the 60 non-LVDD
patients could be safely excluded from referral to preoperative
echocardiography. Also, MyoVista wavECG can raise red flag for more
detailed examination by expert cardiologists when findings are
positive.” The author concluded, “The use of MyoVista wavECG for
screening preoperative patients for LVDD to reduce the burden of
referrals to preoperative echocardiography may be feasible and
should be investigated further.”
“Once again, MyoVista wavECG has demonstrated
significant potential value for screening in a large, at-risk
patient population. The presentation of this study using the
MyoVista to the World Congress of Anesthesiologists comes on the
back of a recent publication assessing the use of MyoVista for
identifying heart disease in diabetic patients1, which demonstrated
MyoVista significantly outperformed existing standards of care,”
said Andrew Simpson, Chief Executive Officer of HeartSciences.
“AI-ECG and MyoVista provide the opportunity to screen for heart
disease and transform cardiovascular medicine. We look forward to
making the MyoVista device commercially available in the short term
and also bringing to market a range of AI-ECG algorithms via a
hardware agnostic platform. In combination, this will allow
HeartSciences to provide AI-ECG solutions in any care environment
worldwide.”

About HeartSciences
Heart Test Laboratories, Inc. d/b/a
HeartSciences is a medical technology company focused on applying
innovative AI-based technology to an ECG (also known as an EKG) to
expand and improve an ECG's clinical utility. Millions of ECGs are
performed every week and the Company's objective is to improve
healthcare by making it a far more valuable cardiac screening tool,
particularly in frontline or point-of-care clinical settings.
HeartSciences has one of the largest libraries of AI-ECG algorithms
and intends to provide these AI-ECG algorithms on a device agnostic
cloud-based solution as well as a low-cost ECG hardware platform.
Working with clinical experts, HeartSciences ensures that all
solutions are designed to work within existing clinical care
pathways, making it easier for clinicians to use AI-ECG technology
to improve their patient's care and lead to better outcomes.
HeartSciences' first product candidate for FDA clearance, the
MyoVista® wavECG™, or the MyoVista®, is a resting 12-lead ECG that
is also designed to provide diagnostic information related to
cardiac dysfunction which has traditionally only been available
through the use of cardiac imaging. The MyoVista® also provides
conventional ECG information in the same test.
