Subsequently, it was demonstrated that variation of magnitude and/or shape of T-wave in the microvolt domain involves the same arrhythmic risk as do macroscopic alternans.
The FDA-approved test measures a change from one heartbeat to the next on a microvolt level--far too subtle to be detected by a standard electrocardiogram.
The results of this study further demonstrate the predictive power of our Microvolt T-Wave Alternans technology" said David Chazanovitz, president andCEO of Cambridge Heart, "We would anticipate that both physicians and payers would view these study results as a demonstration of the important role MTWA testing can play in both increasing the effectiveness of ICD therapy and controlling costs.
Ordinary keys contain combinations of metals (for example, brass or bronze with platinum) which may develop a thermal emf of one or more microvolts under usual working conditions.
Nasdaq: CAMH) today announced the Alternans Before Cardioverter-Defibrillator (ABCD) trial, a cooperative study on the accuracy of Microvolt T-wave Alternans to identify certain candidates for implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) therapy.
