Sixteen MyoStrain Abstracts, Posters & Podium Presentations Presented at SCMR 2020

MORRISVILLE, N.C., February 18, 2020 – Myocardial Solutions (MSI) enabled 16 new abstracts and five podium presentations showcasing the latest in MyoStrain® insights to the Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance’s (SCMR) 23rd Annual Scientific Sessions.

The conference was hosted in Orlando, Florida on February 12-15. The presentations discussed several clinical applications of MyoStrain, such as in the detection of pathological intra-myocardial dysfunction across cardiac disease states as well as in monitoring and managing various cardio-protective treatments for patients undergoing chemotherapy.

Some MyoStrain posters featured the utilization of hyperventilation as stressor agent to improve workflow and efficiency for chest pain triaging in the hospital ER. Others explored how MyoStrain’s speed, sensitivity, and user simplicity may enable physicians to adopt a more proactive approach to addressing cardiac patients, allowing specialists across cardiac disciplines to quantify the progression of dysfunction early in order to initiate early treatment and prevent adverse events.

On Thursday, February 14, the first day of the multi-day conference, Myocardial Solutions also held a sponsored lunch symposium. There, doctors Henning Steen, MD, PhD (MEDNEO), Janek Salatzki, MD (Heidelberg), and Daniel Lenihan, MD (Washington University School of Medicine) shed new insight into using MyoStrain to detect early intra-myocardial dysfunction, MyoStrain’s impact on cardio-oncology, and the detection of ischemic cardiac disease utilizing MyoStrain Stress. Moderated by MSI’s Chief Medical Officer Rafael Rivero, the symposium was a massive success, hosting more than 250 attendees over the course of the event.

During his presentation, Dr. Henning Steen had this to say about MyoStrain: “[MyoStrain] could be a paradigm shift in imaging for MRI, so that we have the tools to risk stratify asymptomatic patients and also the progression of [dysfunction] measurements.”

Based on the presented outcomes, MyoStrain was well-received among key physician opinion leaders attending the event. The presented abstracts showed MyoStrain’s unique clinical capabilities that could become integral to the transformation and advancement of cardiology. Overall, SCMR exemplified MyoStrain’s progress towards becoming the gold standard for quantifying heart health and driving significant cost savings for providers.
