HeartSciences Announces Completion of Patient Enrollment for FDA Pivotal Study of MyoVista wavECG
May 09 2023 - 8:15AM
Heart Test Laboratories, Inc. d/b/a HeartSciences (NASDAQ: HSCS;
HSCSW) (“HeartSciences” or the “Company”), an artificial
intelligence (AI)-based medical technology company focused on
transforming ECGs/EKGs to save lives through the early detection of
heart disease, today announces completion of patient enrollment for
its MyoVista wavECG pivotal study for FDA De Novo submission.
The study commenced in 2021 and is a
prospective, multi-center study to validate the diagnostic
performance of the MyoVista wavECG AI algorithm for the detection
of impaired left ventricular relaxation. The study has enrolled
more than 600 patients at five geographically dispersed centers
located across the United States and the data will now undergo
verification and analysis which, assuming positive results, will be
incorporated as part of the Company’s FDA De Novo submission for
the MyoVista.
Andrew Simpson, CEO of HeartSciences, stated,
“The emerging field of AI ECG offers the meaningful prospect of
low-cost screening to help solve the diagnostic gap where millions
of people with heart disease remain undiagnosed until some sort of
cardiac event, such as a heart attack. We have invested years in
artificial intelligence R&D and have designed our first
product, the MyoVista, to detect cardiac dysfunction at an early
stage. Millions of ECGs are performed every week and we look
forward to leading the commercialization of new AI ECG indications
for use to make the ECG a far more valuable cardiac test. We are
grateful to the clinical institutions and physicians involved in
our pivotal study for their diligent work over the past couple of
years. We are delighted to have concluded patient enrollment which
has been by far the most time-consuming part of our FDA De Novo
submission process.”
Almost all forms of heart disease affect heart
muscle, or cardiac, function including prior to symptoms. Impaired
cardiac function is first observed as impaired left ventricular
(LV) cardiac relaxation, an early indicator of LV diastolic
dysfunction that increases in severity as heart disease progresses
and is also associated with age-related cardiac dysfunction.
As Kitzman and Little pointed out in their 2012 paper
published in Circulation, “LV diastolic function is impaired by all
the common pathological processes that affect LV function or
produce LV hypertrophy or fibrosis, including hypertension,
diabetes mellitus, ischemia, myocarditis, toxins, and infiltrative
cardiomyopathies. Thus, LV diastolic performance is a sensitive
indicator of cardiovascular dysfunction2.”
About HeartSciencesHeart Test Laboratories,
Inc. d/b/a HeartSciences is a next-generation, AI electrocardiogram
(AI ECG) company focused on using AI to transform the ECG (also
known as the EKG) to save lives through earlier detection of heart
disease. Millions of ECGs are performed every week and AI is
creating a new era of opportunity for the ECG with recent AI ECG
applications described as, “some of the most significant advances
in electrocardiography since its inception1.” The Company’s
objective is to become a fixture in front-line healthcare settings
to help physicians make better and earlier referral decisions for
at-risk patients.
