The New Standard in Heart Screening

Why Cardisiography? Until now, quick identification of heart diseases was incredibly expensive, and a complicated process. We have changed that. Cardisiography is the first preventive screening that reliably detects heart diseases with the help of artificial intelligence. It provides an effective and precise heart checkup quickly and easily. An ECG or stress ECG is only of limited value in detecting circulatory disorders in the heart muscle. Within a few minutes, Cardisiography indicates, with very high accuracy, whether the heart is healthy! 

Cardisiography is as easy to use as an ECG, but measures the heart muscle in three-dimensional space. The measured values are evaluated using a specialized AI algorithm. This provides clarity as to whether the heart is diseased or if a heart attack could be imminent. 

Cardisiography is non-invasive, which means that electrodes are attached to the body for the screening; no needles or syringes are inserted into the body. This makes Cardisiography risk-free and suitable for any adult, regardless of age or health condition. Most people affected by heart disease are completely asymptomatic until severe symptoms such as a heart attack occur. A Cardisiography makes it possible to assess anyone’s risk of having a heart attack. It’s an easy way to keep track of your heart health without much hassle! 

Data protection is taken very seriously: Only data that is necessary for the examination is recorded, e.g. age and weight. Other private data, such as name or address, are not entered into the system, and remain anonymous. 

Important to note: Even if Cardisiography detects an abnormality, this does not automatically imply an acute emergency. Because of Cardisiography’s unprecedented accuracy, it detects heart diseases much earlier than comparable methods. Therefore, dangerous outcomes can still be actively prevented at this stage.  

Through early detection, serious consequences can be avoided and the affected person is sent for further examinations, e.g. a heart MRI. This usually allows providers to quickly find the cause of the disease. Through timely diagnosis and good treatment, e.g. with medication or minor surgery, dangerous consequences, such as a heart attack, can be prevented. Cardisiography serves as a decision-making aid for the treating physician in the early diagnostic phase and enables early choices regarding the right treatment path. That is why preventative cardiac screening is so important.

Why seek preventative cardiac screenings?

The heart is an important organ. With 100,000 beats daily, it must deliver top performance every day. Heart disease affects the entire body. Statistically, 33% of men and 20% of women do not have a properly functioning heart.

Typical Symptoms

 

  • Chest pain
  • Nausea
  • Back pain
  • Shortness of breath
  • Fatigue
  • Heart pain

Causes and Risks

  • Hardening of the arteries
  • Cardiac arrhythmias
  • Unhealthy lifestyle, such as poor diet, obesity, lack of exercise, smoking
  • Previous illnesses such as high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol levels, diabetes mellitus

Possible consequences

  • Sudden cardiac death
  • Heart attack
  • General heart disease

Ablauf einer Cardisiographie

Signal Recodring

During the four-minute recording, five electrodes are attached to the body, similar to an EKG.

Quick Results

The recorded parameters are transmitted to the Cardisio server and processed into a report in five minutes using an AI algorithm.

Consultation

A medically trained person discusses the result with the patient.

Why are heart problems usually diagnosed late?

Detecting heart disease early is difficult for those affected because the symptoms are often not clear and they often appear and disappear again. Cardisiography can help. It is particularly suitable for:

  • People who have noticed symptoms and cannot identify them: Should I go to the doctor about it? Is it serious or not?
  • Athletes: Can something happen to me under high stress, like during a marathon?
  • Some of my family members had heart attacks. How can I determine whether I am also at risk?

Many heart attacks could be prevented if treatment was initiated in a timely manner. Cardisiography can predict an imminent heart attack with a very high level of accuracy. A normal ECG or a stress ECG have much less informative value in this area.*
