MCG study is presented at ESC Acute Cardiovascular Care 2018

MCG clinical study was presented at ESC Acute Cardiovascular Care 2018 in March 3rd, in Milan, Italy.
This study was conducted in Myanmar, where the locations of the cath-lab are very limited. MCG was compared with CAG, and it showed high sensitivity and specificity for the presence of severe CAD by CAG (≥ 75%).

By Author, it is evaluated as “MCG could be used for prompt detection of severe CAD in order to start appropriate (PCI/Optimal Medical Therapy) treatments in the emerging country such as Myanmar where less medical facilities and skills are available.”

MCG is introduced Klinik Ebrahim & Surgery in Malaysia

Klinik Ebrahim & Surgery introduced MCG for the care for their patients. Klinik Ebrahim in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, is the integrated medical center, which is registered with the Malaysian Medical council since 1989. The clinic provides Integrated Medicine (Conventional plus complementary / alternative medicine) as a core service. Prof Dr Mohd Ebrahim bin Sulaiman (MBBS, DTM&H (UK), FAAFP, APCT, CMT, Hyperbaric Medicine (UnV S.C) USA) is internationally recognized for his education and clinical experience, having pioneered important emerging integrated applications by combining the latest medical therapies with supportive techniques. MCG is used to manage the heart condition of its patients. It is easy to use because it is no harm to patients such as radiation, puncture, catheter, or using contrast agent. The clinic provides the following services for medical care for its patients. Multi-function CardioGram(MCG) Hyperbaric oxygen therapy EECP/ECP (external Counter Pulsation)

It is challenge for conventional imaging technology to find abnormality of small vessels

The ischemic heart disease caused by stenosis is called "structural ischemia". It can be found by CAG(Coronary Angiogram) in large vessel. However, there are other cause of ischemia called "functional ischemia", which is sometimes hard to detect by imaging examination especially for small vessels. Conventional imaging examinations are not designed to detect such disease. Functional ischemia is the condition where heart muscle is less active mainly due to the supply of oxygen is insufficient by stenosis of large vessel. It is told that the blood flow of the coronary artery is said to be about 20% of the whole heart. Therefore, even if there is no stenosis in the coronary artery itself, there are cases where the cardiac function declines when the peripheral blood, inside of heart wall, inside of inner blood vessel and etc., are in poor condition. (Some of them are called "Micro-vessel disease" or "small vessel diseases") Further,

More time spending in sitting is related to the cause of cardiovascular disease

A cohort study is published in the U.S. mentioning that prolonged leisure-time sitting (6+ vs <3 hours/day) is associated with higher risk of not only cardiovascular disease (including coronary heart disease and stroke-specific mortality), but also cancer, diabetes, kidney disease and other diseases. This cohort study includes 127,554 men and women who were free of major chronic disease at study entry and among whom 48,784 died during 21 years follow-up, and supports that encouraging individuals to reduce sedentary time may provide health benefits. Premier Heart's MCG is an easy test to check the condition of your heart. Because MCG is non-invasive test, it is beneficial for the people who have no symptom but spend longer time in sitting in their lifestyle.
