Edgewise Therapeutics’ EDG-7500 Emerges as New HCM Contender

CardiacWire

Edgewise tested EDG-7500 in a Phase 1 trial to confirm the drug’s side effects, and an early part of a Phase 2 trial to measure EDG-7500’s impact on key oHCM biomarkers – and both trials proved successful. The EDG-7500 groups also had no meaningful changes in LVEF, and none of the subjects experienced a decrease in LVEF <50%.

HeartBeam Unveils AI Program Designed to Deliver Unprecedented Personalized Cardiac Insights

DAIC

By coupling machine learning methods with the company’s VECG technology, HeartBeam aims to provide physicians with unprecedented diagnostic and prognostic insights about cardiac health that it believes will exceed the information provided by a standard 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG).

Which patient has the more severe chest pain?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

The primary endpoint was the association of pre-hospital initial chest pain severity, cardiac biomarkers and infarct size based on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. Groups were categorized based on moderate to severe chest pain (numerical rating scale pain ≥ 5/10) or less than moderate severity to compare procedural and clinical outcomes.

Cardiovascular disease development in COVID-19 patients admitted to a tertiary medical centre in Iran

The British Journal of Cardiology

Cardiovascular consultation had been requested for all of the patients based on their primary clinical examination, vital signs, and electrocardiogram (ECG). Additionally, 2D transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), and myocardial injury serum biomarkers assays (creatine phosphokinase-MB [CPK-MB] and cardiac troponins [cTn]) were measured once.

Is there OMI on this ECG?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

The patient with no prior cardiac history presented in the middle of the night with acute chest pain, and had this ECG recorded during active pain: I did not see any ischemia on this electrocardiogram. The ESC states that patients with suspected ACS should go to the cath lab in <2 hours "regardless of ECG or biomarker evidence of MI!!"
