Myocardial Solutions’ (MSI) mission is to give cardiac and oncology patients control over their heart health. By quantifying subtle changes in myocardial heart function, MSI's proprietary MyoStrain® technology provides a standardized, proactive approach to help physicians effectively detect, monitor, and manage the early progression of myocardial dysfunction and prevent heart failure. Combined with its speed and efficiency, MyoStrain may provide a critical population management tool to help physicians individualize cardiac treatment for at-risk patient populations in cardiology and oncology.
With 80,000+ patient data points from over 70 medical centers in the United States and EU, MyoStrain has been rigorously validated in over 500+ publications, including 50+ in JACC and Circulation. The MyoStrain heart function test is a rapid, non-invasive MRI scan performed in under 10 minutes and has been optimized for clinical use due to its speed, ease of use, and quantitative accuracy.
We are working with hospitals and cancer centers in the United States and Europe to help transform quality of care for their patients. Together, we are pursuing a higher standard of care, focusing preventative care and personalized medicine to ultimately improve patient longevity and quality of life in cardiology and oncology.
