The company's flagship AUDICOR([R]) product line is the pioneer in Acoustic Cardiography cardiography /car·di·og·ra·phy/ (kahr?de-og´rah-fe) the graphic recording of a physical or functional aspect of the heart, e.g. , a new technology category used to diagnose heart failure, identify dysfunction severity, and evaluate treatment in a variety of clinical settings. Acoustic Cardiography leverages two established parameters: the 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. (ECG), the most common diagnostic test worldwide; and heart sounds, which have long been recognized as providing clinically actionable information to health care providers. AUDICOR([R]) uses two small patented and proprietary sensors, the first of its kind, to analyze the electro-mechanical heart function from 10 seconds of ECG and acoustic heart sound data. AUDICOR([R])'s patented signal processing simultaneously detects and interprets the incoming cardiac information. Results are immediately displayed on-screen and in a simple, single-page report. AUDICOR([R]) technology can be deployed flexibly, either through a small dedicated device that fits easily into existing clinician workflow and environments, or through integration into OEM devices through our partnership agreements. More than 50 peer-reviewed publications in leading scientific medical journals (including the Journal of the American Medical Association JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association is an international peer-reviewed general medical journal, published 48 times per year by the American Medical Association.

Archives of Internal Medicine ) have demonstrated AUDICOR([R])'s ability to accurately assess hemodynamic function and the strong correlation between AUDICOR([R]) measurements and high-end tests such as angiography and echocardiography Echocardiography Definition Echocardiography is a diagnostic test that uses ultrasound waves to create an image of the heart muscle. Ultrasound waves that rebound or echo off the heart can show the size, shape, and movement of the heart's valves and . Through these publications, the medical community is learning how to easily incorporate AUDICOR([R]) into their evidence-based medical practices. Heart failure is a growing epidemic in the United States, with 550,000 new cases reported each year, according to recent statistics from the American Heart Association American Heart Association (AHA), n.pr a national voluntary health agency that has the goal of increasing public and medical awareness of cardiovascular diseases and stroke, and thereby reducing the number of associated deaths and disabilities. , and 5 million currently diagnosed. It represents the single most expensive disease both for Medicare and for most private payers. Consequently, there is a large clinical need and growing awareness of the financial impact of this disease. For additional information, visit the Inovise Medical website at www.audicor.com. |
