MindMics Demonstrates Its In-ear Infrasonic Earbud Technology Shows Promise in Detection of Aortic Stenosis and Hearing Heart Murmurs

DAIC

reported results from a clinical study of revolutionary earbuds that use a new technology - In-ear Infrasonic Hemodynography to Detects Aortic Stenosis Murmur Before and After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR). We propose a new method of assessing aortic stenosis through IH to detect its characteristic systolic ejection murmur."

Stress echocardiography in valvular heart disease

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Valvular heart disease (VHD) has been a significant health problem, particularly in developed countries, in relation to the aging population. Recent developments in the management of VHD require a more accurate assessment of disease severity to determine the need for transcatheter interventions or open heart surgery.
