Invited Talks
American College of Cardiology 2011
Dr. John Strobeck presented a poster session comparing the accuracy of MCG to Myocardial Perfusion Imaging (MPI / Nuclear Stress Imaging).
The following peer-reviewed studies do not include a focus on the MCG, but provide large-scale clinical evidence for the need of appropriate, accurate technology for risk-stratifying patients who present with chest pain and heart disease symptoms to the hospital ER.
Cardiac Imaging Tests Beget More Tests, but No Benefit.
