HeartSciences Announces Podium Presentation at World Congress of Anesthesiologists on the Utility of MyoVista® Wavelet ECG For Detection of Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction in Preoperative Patients
Preoperative left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) is very common and one of the important causes of perioperative morbidity and mortality in cardiac and non-cardiac surgeries.
- Preoperative left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) is very common and one of the important causes of perioperative morbidity and mortality in cardiac and non-cardiac surgeries.
- In the study, patients undergoing preoperative anesthesia evaluation for cardiac and non-cardiac surgeries were enrolled.
- For patients indicated for preoperative echocardiography, LVDD was diagnosed and graded as per American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) guidelines and a MyoVista wavECG was also performed.
- Based on these findings, 25 of the 60 non-LVDD patients could be safely excluded from referral to preoperative echocardiography.
