The presentation will be given at 8:30 AM CDT during a plenary session on Sunday, March 25, 2007.

The ALPHA study was a multicenter prospective study designed to evaluate the independent predictive value of the measurement of MicroVolt microvolt

About The Non-Invasive HearTwave([R]) II Microvolt T-Wave Alternans System

Cambridge Heart's HearTwave II Microvolt T-Wave Alternans System measures a specific and extremely subtle pattern of beat-to-beat fluctuations in a person's electrocardiogram electrocardiogram /elec·tro·car·dio·gram/ (-kahr´de-o-gram?) a graphic tracing of the variations in electrical potential caused by the excitation of the heart muscle and detected at the body surface. . This pattern of fluctuations is called T-wave alternans. These tiny variations in the electrocardiogram, measured at one millionth of a volt accuracy, are measured most commonly during a sub-maximal exercise stress test in the doctor's office or hospital outpatient setting. Extensive clinical research has shown patients with a positive or non-negative microvolt T-wave alternans test are at increased risk for sudden cardiac death Sudden Cardiac Death Definition

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is an unexpected death due to heart problems, which occurs within one hour from the start of any cardiac-related symptoms. SCD is sometimes called cardiac arrest.
, while those who test negative are at reduced risk.
