Insights

The clinical validation data from two studies significantly strengthens HeartBeam's position in the cardiac monitoring space. The first study shows 94% sensitivity and 100% specificity in arrhythmia detection compared to standard 12-lead ECGs - impressive metrics that validate the technology's accuracy. The second study's successful validation of the ACS risk score algorithm represents a potential breakthrough in remote heart attack detection.

The technology addresses a critical gap in cardiac care by providing hospital-grade ECG capabilities in a credit card-sized device. This could substantially reduce the "time-to-treatment" window for heart attack patients, where every minute counts for survival and recovery outcomes. The dual validation of both arrhythmia and ACS detection capabilities significantly de-risks the technology and positions HeartBeam for potential market leadership in portable cardiac monitoring.

This double validation at a prestigious conference represents a important milestone for HeartBeam's commercialization pathway. With the FDA review underway and strong clinical data, the company is well-positioned to target the $1.8 billion global cardiac monitoring devices market. The technology's dual capability in detecting both arrhythmias and potential heart attacks could drive significant market adoption, particularly given the rising prevalence of cardiovascular diseases and the growing demand for remote monitoring solutions.

The endorsement from leading institutions like Piedmont Healthcare and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center adds substantial credibility. For a small-cap company ($65M), these developments could attract strategic partnerships or investment interest from larger medical device companies.

  • The studies further strengthen HeartBeam’s body of clinical evidence for its portable, cable-free, credit card-sized device that is designed to be capable of synthesizing a 12-lead ECG
  • The first study is a pilot study demonstrating similar performance of HeartBeam’s vector-based ambulatory technology to standard 12-lead ECGs for arrhythmia detection
  • The second study is a feasibility study highlighting the potential of HeartBeam’s technology with a novel risk-score assessment algorithm to evaluate chest pain remotely and reduce delays in care for patients experiencing a heart attack

SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- HeartBeam, Inc. (NASDAQ: BEAT), a medical technology company focused on transforming cardiac care by providing powerful cardiac insights wherever the patient is, announced the results from two studies evaluating HeartBeam’s groundbreaking vector-based technology. The data add to the body of clinical evidence for the Company’s key clinical indications, specifically arrhythmia and heart attack (myocardial infarction) detection, and showcase the technology’s pivotal role in advancing patient care for these clinical indications. The studies were presented during the American Heart Association’s annual Scientific Sessions in Chicago, November 16-18, 2024.

HeartBeam’s vector-based technology captures the heart’s electrical signals from three dimensions. The Company’s first application of its groundbreaking technology is a cable-free, credit card-sized device that is designed to be capable of synthesizing a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG). The small size makes it convenient for patients to always have the device with them, ready to record an ECG whenever they feel symptoms to minimize delays in care. The HeartBeam system is currently under review with the FDA.

“The data presentations at AHA are a testament to HeartBeam’s dedication to building a robust body of clinical evidence to support our groundbreaking technology as we strive to make it easier for patients and physicians to monitor cardiac symptoms and seek timely diagnosis outside of a healthcare facility,” said Robert Eno, Chief Executive Officer, HeartBeam. “We thank our physician collaborators for their commitment to evaluating the value our technology can bring in different clinical situations and transform how cardiac conditions are managed in the future.”

The first presentation by Thomas Deering, MD, FACC, FHRS, Chief of Arrhythmia Center, Piedmont Healthcare in Atlanta, GA, highlighted results from an 80-patient pilot study, which evaluated the performance of HeartBeam’s synthesized 12-lead ECG waveforms compared to simultaneously collected standard 12-lead ECGs for arrhythmia detection. The study found excellent agreement when physicians diagnosed various arrhythmias utilizing the HeartBeam synthesized 12-lead ECG compared to a standard 12-lead ECG (Sensitivity: 94%, Specificity: 100%). Arrhythmias evaluated include sinus rhythm, atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, and sinus with premature ventricular contraction (PVC) or premature atrial contraction (PAC). This study is a precursor to the Company’s pivotal study, VALID-ECG, which completed enrollment in June. VALID-ECG will support the clinical equivalence basis for the synthesized 12-lead ECG software in the Company’s next FDA submission.

“One of the main challenges with timely assessment of arrhythmias is that a single-lead ECG does not contain complete diagnostic information, and at the same time, obtaining a standard 12-lead ECG is highly impractical outside of a medical setting,” commented Dr. Deering. “Our study showed that the synthesized 12-lead ECG obtained from the HeartBeam device is similar to a 12-lead ECG, allowing patients to easily obtain the highest fidelity ECG data wherever they are upon symptom onset and greatly reduce any potential delays in receiving care.”

A second study presented by Alexei Shvilkin, MD, PhD, Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiologist, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, MA, evaluated the feasibility of calculating an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) risk score for assessment of chest pain using the Company’s proprietary algorithm. This algorithm has the potential to shorten the time between when heart attack symptoms begin and when patients arrive at a medical facility, which is essential for improving outcomes. The study found HeartBeam’s algorithm accurately detected ACS and matched the assessment of expert Emergency Department physicians who typically rely on standard 12-lead ECGs for ACS assessment. This data builds on the previously published JACC: Advances study, which demonstrated that HeartBeam’s technology is comparable to 12-lead ECGs in identifying coronary occlusions. The latest findings reinforce the potential of the Company’s technology to facilitate evaluation of patient’s chest pain symptoms outside of a medical facility to reduce delays in care.
