New Electrocardiogram Technology

National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA, Washington, DC, USA).

The high frequency QRS (HFQRS) electrocardiogram, comprised of sophisticated software algorithms is being co-developed by CardioSoft (Houston, TX, USA) and researchers at NASA's Johnson Space Center (also in Houston). The software algorithms measure, in real-time, signals present in the QRS complex, or heart-muscle depolarization phase, of the electrocardiogram. These signals are unrecognized by current ECG methods.

"Our development efforts will enable a highly accurate, five-minute resting test that can be readily obtained whenever and wherever conventional ECG is performed,” stated Saeed Moradi, co-founder of CardioSoft. "Improved accuracy of HFQRS compared with conventional ECG has already been demonstrated in over 800 patients studied to date by leading researchers.”

CardioSoft is a pioneering medical technology company that is developing products to improve the lives of people at risk for heart disease. The company was formed in 2004 by a team of doctors, engineers, and high-tech medical entrepreneurs.

"We are very excited about commercializing this innovative technology, because it can have a real impact on the diagnosis and management of a major cause of morbidity and mortality in modern society,” added Saeed Moradi.
