Westport, CT, Jan. 07, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BioSig Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: BSGM) (“BioSig” or the “Company”), a medical technology company commercializing an innovative signal processing platform designed to improve signal fidelity and uncover the full range of ECG and intra-cardiac signals, today announced that the Company would be presenting at the 27th Annual International Atrial Fibrillation Symposium on January 13-15, 2022.
Clinical observations collected with BioSig’s PURE EP™ System will be presented by DJ Lakkireddy, M.D., Kansas City Heart Rhythm Institute at HCA Midwest Health during Spotlight Session: Complex AF Case Study Utilizing a New Standard in Signal Processing on January 13, 2022, from 8:30-9:30 AM ET.
“Dr. Lakkireddy is highly regarded for his passionate commitment to those suffering from complex arrhythmias and for his leadership in the field of electrophysiology, and we are thrilled to have him represent our technology at this benchmark industry event. We would like to thank the course directors, Drs. Ruskin, Mansour, Reddy, Keane, Jais, and the entire faculty for bringing the electrophysiology community together during this important industry event. We look forward to reconnecting with our physician partners and our peers as we gear up for an impactful clinical and commercial year,” commented Kenneth L. Londoner, Chairman, and CEO of BioSig Technologies, Inc.
During the event, BioSig will be exhibiting at booth 403. The Company’s executive, commercial and clinical teams will host demonstrations of the PURE EP™ System and some of its platform technology's latest software and algorithmic features for arrhythmia care.
The conference will also be broadcast live. To register for the event and stream the live presentation, please follow this link: https://register.rcsreg.com/r2/afs2022/ga/top.html
To date, more than 73 physicians have completed over 1800 patient cases with the PURE EP™ System. The Company is in a focused commercial launch of the PURE EP™ System in the Northeast, Texas, and Florida.
Clinical data acquired by the PURE EP™ System in a multi-center study at Texas Cardiac Arrhythmia Institute at St. David’s Medical Center, Mayo Clinic Jacksonville, and Massachusetts General Hospital was recently published in the Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology and is available electronically with open access via the Wiley Online Library. Study results showed 93% consensus across the blinded reviewers with a 75% overall improvement in intracardiac signal quality and confidence in interpreting PURE EP™ signals over conventional sources.
One in 18 Americans suffers from a cardiac arrhythmia. Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia type, affecting over 33 million people worldwide, including over 6 million in the U.S. The number of people suffering from atrial fibrillation is expected to reach 8-12 million by 20501. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), atrial fibrillation causes more than 750,000 hospitalizations in the U.S. each year, resulting in approximately $6 billion in healthcare spending annually2.
