Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the UK, with conditions like coronary artery disease (CAD) often showing no symptoms until its too late. This risk isn’t limited to older adults; it can affect anyone, regardless of age or gender. Statistics from the British Heart Foundation and NHS England states that that cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains one of the leading health challenges in the UK:
Cardisiography is a new measuring method for the early detection of possible heart problems. The heart is measured three-dimensionally and even the smallest deviations are recognized, which could be an indication of heart disease. A possible risk can be identified within a few minutes, even before symptoms appear.
This Video discusses the importance of early detection and diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases, particularly heart attacks. The speaker emphasizes that cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death, with most heart attacks resulting from atherosclerosis. A significant challenge in treating heart attacks is that patients often misjudge their situation and seek help too late. The speaker highlights a diagnostic gap in heart diseases, noting that many patients are asymptomatic or have minimal symptoms until a life-threatening event occurs. Traditional diagnostic methods like ECG have limitations, while more advanced technologies like CT and MRI are too expensive for widespread prophylactic use. The speaker introduces cardiography as a promising solution for early detection of heart diseases, especially in asymptomatic patients. They explain that cardiography can detect heart attacks at an early stage, which might not be discoverable through conventional ECG examinations. The technology’s potential lies in its ability to identify specific illnesses and affected areas of the heart. The speaker mentions ongoing research to attribute vector cardiography signals to specific illnesses,
