Epsilon Imaging Announces Studies Presented At ACC ’15 Scientific Sessions Demonstrate Improved Quality In Assessment Of Heart Function With Echoinsight

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Epsilon Imaging, Inc., a visualization and analysis software provider transforming cardiac diagnostic workflow, today announced four studies were presented at the ACC’ 15 Scientific Sessions; these studies all demonstrated improved quality in assessment of heart function with EchoInsight visualization and analysis.

ACC ’15 Research Studies include:

“Simultaneous Assessment of Longitudinal Strain in All 4 Cardiac Chambers: A New Method to Characterize Cardiomyopathy,” presented by Karima Addetia, MD, Masaaki Takeuchi, MD, et al. from the University of Chicago Medicine and University of Occupational and Environmental Health. The study analyzed 109 normal subjects and 62 patients with dilated cardiomyopathy using apical 4-chamber views with echo that included the left and right ventricles and both atria. 2D speckle tracking was used in all 4 chambers in the same cardiac cycle with EchoInsight to obtain longitudinal strain. The study concluded simultaneous measurement of longitudinal strain provides new insight into inter-chamber relationships and may prove useful in evaluating cardiomyopathies.
