heart disease myocarditis multifunction cardiogram

Recent Launch for Public Use of the Multifunctional Cardiogram (MCG).
The MCG is going to revolutionize the way we identify and treat cardiovascular disease.
The MCG is an electrocardiogram (ECG) that uses artificial intelligence (AI) and provides the clinician information on 26 areas about the heart in a way that a clinician has never had access to before. The device is as safe to use as any ECG device using no radiation, nuclear materials, or contrast, making this a test that can be repeated without fear of anyone, including pregnant patients, having any harm.
The MCG took over 23 years to develop and is now FDA approved. It won the AHA Innovation Award of the Year in 2017. There are numerous peer reviewed studies done now in 5 countries on 3 different continents. The information that clinicians will receive from the MCG should help safe hundreds of thousands of lives in the future as patients will know who has developing heart disease at a very early time allowing diagnostic and treatment time to get the disease under control before patients get hurt.
Artificial intelligence is becoming a more common factor in so many areas of life now, so it should be no surprise that AI would be useful to help improve cardiovascular care.
