Quantitively Differentiating Cardiac from Non-Cardiac related Chest Pain

heart-attack

Early diagnosis and treatment of myocardial infarction can save patients life and prevent life-threatening complications AS reducing the time lag between onset of ischemic symptoms and hospital presentation to ≤1 hour is of the utmost importance.

Since Chest pain is the most common reason somebody comes into the Emergency Department there is an acute need for a fast and reliable method for diagnosing whether the chest pain is associate with a cardiac event or not.

 

Today’s more than 50% of all patients with chest pain presenting at the emergency department have non-cardiac chest pain (NCCP) while existing solutions today are limited in their ability to associate a symptom of chest pain whether it is associated with a cardiac event.

It is even worse cases when the ECG findings of measurement are completely normal even though a heart attack has taken place. As a result, ECG does not detect two out of every three heart attacks at all or not until it is too late.

 

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the number 1 cause of death globally, taking an estimated 17.9 million lives each year from an estimated 422.7 million cases of CVD in 2015 [8]. Specifically, Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death in the United States; with approximately 500,000-700,000 deaths related to CAD occur each year and is also the number one cause of death in European countries.

TECHNOLOGY

CORSENS Medical developed a non-invasive device designed to measure myocardial vibrations (related to myocardial perfusion) due to changes in heart muscle contractility. The device includes a physiological data acquisition application connected to sensing patch that is attached to the chest.CORSENS Granted patentsUS 10,028,677 QUANTITATIVELY DIFFERENTIATING CARDIAC FROM NON-CARDIAC RELATED CHEST PAIN AND OTHER CARDIAC DIAGNOSTICSUS 10,172,539 DETERMINING AN AMOUNT OF REPERFUSION IN MYOCARDIUM AND ASSESSING EFFECTIVENESS OF THROMBOLYSISCorsens Medical has received clearance for a pre-marketing notification (510(k)) with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its cardiac monitor.The company received the following indications statement for the Corsens Cardiac Monitor: “The Corsens Cardiac Monitor records vibrational waveforms produced by the heart contractions and transmitted to the chest wall. Corsens Cardiac Monitor may be used as a tool to measure the timing of part of the events in the cardiac cycle for adult population.” The Corsens Cardiac Monitor is designed to detect cardiac contractility parameters via a series of acoustic, accelerometers and cardiac rhythm non-invasive sensors arrayed on the patient’s chest.
