Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On May 10, 2013 the Company announced positive results of the Company's Signal-Averaged Electrocardiography (SAECG) technology employed in a multi-center clinical trial that studied 484 patients with prior myocardial infarction (heart attack). Twenty two major cardiac centers including University of Rochester, Duke University, University of Pennsylvania and UMass Memorial Hospital participated in this study. The patients enrolled were considered at high risk of ventricular arrhythmias because of low ejection fraction (EF ≤ 35%). Patients received implantable cardiac defibrillators (ICD) as primary prevention against sudden cardiac death. The multi-center study assessed these patients for ventricular arrhythmia risk using more than ten different ECG-based diagnostic methodologies and algorithms, including 12-lead ECG, 24-hour Holter monitoring, T wave alternans and SAECG-derived parameters. From this large battery of ECG tests, only the Company's SAECG-derived low QRS waveform voltage, along with frequent premature ventricular beats from Holter recordings, were found to be significantly predictive of ventricular arrhythmias. The full text of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference into this Item 7.01.
The information in this Item 7.01 disclosure, including Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that Section.
