Nine New Abstracts Featuring MyoStrain Presented at SCMR 2019

BELLEVUE, W.A., February 10, 2019 – Nine different abstracts utilizing Myocardial Solutions’ MyoStrain® were presented at Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (SCMR) 2019 22nd Annual Scientific Sessions in Bellevue, Washington on February 6th-9th, 2019. The papers span a variety of subjects including MyoStrain reproducibility, comparison to existing methods, ease of training as well as managing cardiac treatment of chemotherapy and obese patients. Two papers were selected to be presented on the podium: Dr. Olga Toro-Salazar’s (Connecticut Children’s Medical Center) abstract that focused on identification of heart failure risk in childhood cancer survivors exposed to anthracycline therapy and Corinna Else’s (Berlin Heart) abstract analyzing MyoStrain’s inter-scan and intra-scan reproducibility.
