About CardioInsight Technologies Inc.
CardioInsight is commercializing a revolutionary technology that non-invasively generates 3D images of the electrical activity of the heart. The images help physicians more accurately treat certain heart ailments such as arrhythmias and congestive heart failure. The Company's ECVUE system non-invasively generates real-time, whole heart images of the electrical activity on the surface of the heart by combining body surface electrical data with 3D anatomical data obtained from imaging scans. It then reconstructs and displays 3D images and other useful measures of cardiac electrical activity as if the measurements were taken directly from the surface of the heart. To date, CardioInsight has completed more than 400 patient studies at leading clinical centers in the United States and Europe, including the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, University Hospitals of Cleveland, Loyola University Medical Center, the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center, and the Hospital Cardiologique Haut Leveque in Bordeaux, France. These studies address a broad variety of cardiac arrhythmias, as well as cardiac resynchronization therapy for congestive heart failure, demonstrating the unique clinical value of the ECVUE system. Results of the studies have been published in leading peer-reviewed journals, and presented at international clinical conferences. The Company has received its CE Mark and markets the ECVUE system in Europe.
