By GlobalData“We will be able to announce the launch of several strategic projects as well as key hires in the coming months, which will be the cornerstones of Imageens’ development over the next few years.”
ArtFun+ was developed from the US National Institute of Health-funded Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis, which analysed the predictive ability of imaging biomarkers on a multi-ethnic cohort made up of 3,675 patients across the country.
The study showed that the imaging biomarkers of ArtFun+ were highly predictive of death and hard cardiovascular in patients between the ages of 45 and 84 years.
Imageens is currently working on obtaining US Food and Drug Administration approval and CE clearance for ArtFun+ in routine cardiovascular care to complement cardiac MRI exams with cardiovascular risk biomarkers. This could provide better follow up and surgical decisions in ischemic cardiopathies, acute coronary syndrome and aortic aneurysms.
