The new computerized, multiphase, resting ECG analysis device (MultiFunction-CardioGram sm) has been shown in this meta-analysis to safely and accurately identify patients with relevant coronary stenosis (>70%) with high sensitivity and specificity and high negative predictive value. Its potential use in the evaluation of symptomatic patients suspected to suffer from coronary disease/ischemia is discussed.

New England Journal of Medicine articles call attention to shortcomings of CT Angiography
A pair of articles have been published in The New England Journal of Medicine discussing the shortcomings of CT Angiography as a first-line diagnostic tool for detecting coronary artery disease.
The articles call attention to the costs associated with CT Angiography, as well as the risks associated with ratiation exposure required for the procedure.

TheHeart.org article on the shortcomings of conventional ECGs published.
An article in Clinical Cardiology has been published discussing the shortcomings of conventional ECG technology (both resting surface ECGs and exercise stress testing) as a diagnostic tool for patients with chest pain.
Premier Heart's 3DMP/mfEMT (MCG) system represents a quantum leap beyond these traditional methods, providing a level of accuracy that makes it a valuable diagnostic tool in patients with chest pain as well as asymptomatic patients.
