MyoStrain Featured in Four New Abstracts at German Society of Cardiology's 85th Annual Conference (DGK)

MANHEIM, GERMANY, April 28, 2019 – Myocardial Solutions’ MyoStrain® was featured in four different abstracts presented at the 85th Annual Conference of the German Society of Cardiology (DGK). The event was held in Mannheim, Germany on April 24th-27th, 2019. The abstracts addressed the multiple uses for MyoStrain across indications covering the following topics:

• A comparison of MyoStrain to left ventricular ejection fraction in their ability to detect subclinical cardiac dysfunction across various cardiac diseases
• Using MyoStrain as a triage tool for patients with acute chest pain in the emergency room
• The interim results of a study that used MyoStrain to detect cardiotoxicity from carfilzomib, an anti-cancer drug, in multiple myeloma patients
• The opportunity to use MyoStrain for cardiac involvement in patients with Wilson’s disease
