Aum Cardiovascular wins FDA clearance for Cadence heart device
Aum Cardiovascular said today that it won 510(k) clearance from the FDA for its Cadence device, which is designed to detect heart murmurs.
Cadence works by applying an algorithm to the acoustic signature of heart murmurs in the primary care setting, allowing physicians to diagnose the condition without resorting to expensive CT, MRI or ultrasound scans.
“A primary care doctor is unlikely to refer patients to pricey specialty clinics, especially if the patient doesn’t show any outward signs of the disease,” founder & CEO Marie Johnson said in prepared remarks. “Cadence offers clinicians a low-cos...

New imaging tracer allows early assessment of abdominal aortic aneurysm risk
(Society of Nuclear Medicine) Yale University researchers have developed a way in which medical imaging with SPECT/CT could potentially be used to assess a patient's rupture risk for abdominal aortic aneurysm. Delaying surgical treatment can be life-threatening, and this new type of imaging could allow physicians to diagnose disease and better plan its management. The study is presented in the featured article of the August issue of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine. (Source: EurekAlert! - Medicine and Health)
