Early Detection is the Key • Early diagnosis of CAD condition is critical • CAD is common and deadly • CAD is treatable if detected early
Early Detection is the Key (Cont’d) • 75% of CAD patients do not have any symptoms • 50% of men and 64% of women who died suddenly of heart attacks had no previous symptoms • 1 in 3 patients are diagnosed after a heart attack occurs
About Cardiovascular Disease in UAE, MOH • Dr Ali Ahmad Bin Shakar, a senior Ministry of Health official in the UAE, stated that 41% of deaths in the UAE are caused by cardiovascular diseases. • He warned that forecasts for the next two decades predict a tripling of deaths from strokes and coronary heart disease in the Middle East and North Africa, a rate that exceeds any other region apart from Latin America.
About Cardiovascular Disease in UAE, DOH • Dr. Azan Binbrek of Cardiology Department at Rashid Hospital in Dubai claimed that there was lack of medical research in the UAE because the general movement of people due to temporary nature of jobs. “We should play an active role in the community by promoting health awareness about diseases and their prevention, such as cardiovascular diseases”
About Cardiovascular Disease in UAE, DOH • According to Dr Obaid Al Jassim, Consultant and Head of the Cardiothoracic Surgery Department with DHA, one in two deaths in the UAE are caused by cardiovascular diseases and that the first cardio event (strike) occurs at around 45, which is 10 to 15 years earlier than the international average of 55 to 60. • About 15,000 patients walk into Dubai government hospitals every year because of heart problems
About Cardiovascular Disease in UAE, HAAD • Dr Michael Khouri, Cardiologist at Khalifa Hospital (HAAD), stated that the statistics are alarming, and reflects on the general lack of awareness of the risk factors of cardiovascular diseases including diabetes, hypertension, cholesterol, smoking and wrong lifestyles.Nearly 20 per cent of the heart patients were unaware that they had diabetes or hypertension or high cholesterol, thus exposing them to cardiovascular diseases.
About Cardiovascular Disease in UAE, HAAD • Dr Cother Hajat, ex-section head, public health, stated that there are some alarming numbers on cardio-vascular diseases among Emiratis, which could be preventable by a rate of 90 per cent. 71 per cent of the young Emirati population [~ age 35], have at least one CVD risk factor. HAAD figures showed that 44 per cent of Emiratis have evidence of either pre-diabetes or diabetes, which has resulted in 750 heart attacks/mortality rates, each year among a young Emirati population.
About Current Devices Diagnosis Technology • Current ECG machines have a 35% correlation to an invasive angiogram when identifying Myocardial Ischemia, thus missing approximately 65% of ischemic patients • Stress-ECG has a 50% correlation to an invasive angiogram when identifying Myocardial Ischemia
About Current Devices Diagnosis Technology (Cont’d) • Angiograms, CAT Scans, and MRI’s are subjective to the human eyes • Angiograms, CAT Scans, and MRI’s are invasive and combine higher risks • Angiograms, CAT Scans, and MRI’s procedures are expensive
About HTL MyoVista™ Technology • HTL MyoVista™ technology incorporates 3 dimensional mapping of the heart through proprietary algorithms that continuously multiplex each of the ten surface electrodes at 1000-8000Hz • The obtained data includes the Amplitude, timing and Spatial Relationship (frequency) of these signals
About HTL MyoVista™ Technology • The current ECG technology processes approximately 1000 signals from the heart per second. HTL MyoVista™ technology processes 1 to 2 million signals from the Myocardium per second in a continuous manner • HTL MyoVista™ technology further analyze the signals with the help of additional pattern recognition software of 50,000 cardiac patients in the MyoVista database
About HTL MyoVista™ Technology (Cont’d) • The current ECG machines have a 35% correlation to an invasive angiogram when identifying Myocardial Ischemia missing approximately 65% of ischemic patients • HTL MyoVista studies has shown over 89% correlation to an invasive angiogram when identifying Myocardial abnormalities-Ischemia
