Electrocardiography

Electrocardiograms (ECG) are a primary cardiac diagnostic test that measures the electrical activity in heart to identify overall cardiac function, arrhythmias and areas of ischemia and infarct. Standard 12-lead ECG breaks the 3D structure of the heart into 12 zones, each showing the electrical activity in that specific area of the heart. This narrows down areas where there are issues with coronary artery disease or electrophysiology issues. Many ambulatory heart monitors and consumer-grade ECG monitors use fewer leads so are less specific as to cardiac conditions or location of abnormal heart rhythms, but can show an issue that requires further diagnostic testing or treatment.

FDA approves Zoll's newest defibrillator-monitor
The device, based on years of user feedback, is now cleared for use in both EMS and hospital settings.
‘Every second counts’: New Viz.ai platform brings the entire heart attack team together
The new platform provides users with real-time access to high-quality electrocardiograms and patient data. The goal is to ensure everyone is on the same page at all times, with no unnecessary delays.
AI-powered cardiac mapping system gains an important approval
The vMap System from San Diego-based Vektor Medical turns 12-lead ECGs into 3D maps of the heart. It has already been cleared by the FDA.
FDA clears wearable heart device that captures multiple signals at once
The newly approved device captures electrocardiogram, photoplethysmogram and seismocardiogram signals at the same time. It can also be paired with advanced AI models to monitor patients for specific conditions.
New Philips platform offers AI-powered ECG tools from outside vendors
Philips has launched a new 'AI Marketplace' that expands access to third-party diagnostic tools. The company's goal is to put a variety of offerings into one convenient location for clinicians.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted pre-market approval (PMA) clearance for Zoll Zenix defibrillator-monitor for EMS and hospital use. It incorporates new technology and features based on years of user feedback.
