Start-Up Spotlight: Creavo Medical, Diagnosing Myocardial Ischaemia With MCG
Executive Summary
UK medtech company Creavo Medical Technologies is trying to bring its magnetocardiography (MCG) technology to emergency departments worldwide to help physicians accurately rule out heart disease. Distinguishing between ischemic heart disease and non-cardiac chest pain remains a challenge in emergency departments. Currently, all patients presenting with chest pain are assessed with electrocardiography and blood tests to rule out heart disease, but almost three-quarters of patients with chest pain do not have a cardiac-related condition.
