Noninvasive Cardiac Mapping for Diagnosing Arrhythmias
The ECVue mapping system is designed to map the electrical activity of the heart and convert it into a real-time [...] Read More »
Longer Monitoring at a Lower Cost
The Zio Patch is an emerging FDA-approved device the size of a small calculator that can be worn under the patient's clothes that records and stores ECG data for up to 30 days. After the ECG recordings are obtained, the device is then mailed to a national reading center to evaluate the data. Read More »
But, the most promising application of MCG technology is for a more accurate early diagnosis of adult and fetal arrhythmias. Magnetic field imaging has been available for years to measure brain activity by measuring the bodys fluctuating magnetic field. Advancements in extremely sensitive magnetic sensors (SQUIDs) have allowed for the measurement of small magnetic disturbances as a result of a patients heartbeat. Because of this, MCG technology can produce results more accurate than SPECT, ECG, or ultrasound technology. Read More »
