HeartBeam Announces Positive Heart Attack Pilot Study Results at TCT 2026: Patient-Recorded 3D ECG Shown to Be as Accurate as Standard 12-Lead ECG

“Obtaining a clinically meaningful recording of the heart’s electrical activity at the time of symptom onset could help physicians assess whether a patient may be experiencing a heart attack and reduce time to intervention.”

“In the ALIGN-ACS pilot study, patients were able to record their own ECGs with the HeartBeam device under clinical supervision.”

“A cardiologist’s review of that patient-recorded ECG could help patients at home decide whether to seek care.”

“These early findings demonstrate the potential of this technology to help shorten time to care for patients experiencing a heart attack.”

“Today, patients with chest pain or other symptoms are largely limited to self-assessment of whether they are experiencing a heart attack or not, as there is no portable, on-demand device available to them.”

“The ALIGN-ACS pilot study results support our goal of providing accurate cardiac information to both patients and physicians remotely when symptoms occur, with the intent to help expedite the symptom-to-door time and reduce the lag between symptoms and care.”
