AcQMap System Views the Heart by Using Voltage – Based and Electrical Dipole Density Maps
Orange County, CA - May 16th, 2018 - AcQMap is high-resolution imaging and mapping system. Designed to detect and show a standard voltage-based and higher resolution charge-source maps. AcQMap is able to generate in real-time, 3D images of the heart chamber using ultrasound. It maps the electrical-conduction of each heartbeat to find complex arrhythmias (irregular or abnormal heartbeat rhythm) across the entire atrial chamber.
Headquartered in Carlsbad, California, Acutus Medical won FDA clearance in November 2017. This development would be effective for observing the heart’s response to treatment during cardiac ablation process (a procedure that scars small areas in the heart that may be involved in heart rhythm problems.) After each treatment, the heart can be re-mapped in seconds to continually see any changes from past mapping.
“Enabling physicians to see complex, irregular arrhythmias in real-time should provide important new insights and enable truly personalized and individualized ablation therapy planning. We hope that this unique capability, combined with the ability to quickly re-map after each ablation, will lead the way to further improvements in clinical outcomes for patients suffering from complex arrhythmias,” said Vince Burgess, Chairman, President, and CEO, at Acutus Medical.
The AcQMap system has been used for the first time in the United States. Acutus Medical has also started clinical studies in Europe and Canada to test the AcQMap during atrial fibrillation re-treatment procedures. The first procedure was successfully completed by Tim Betts MD, MBChB, FRCP at John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford University Hospitals in Oxford, United Kingdom
"In patients undergoing re-do ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation, we often need to look beyond simple pulmonary vein isolation and identify additional electrophysiological mechanisms driving the arrhythmia," said Dr. Betts. "In this particular patient, I was able to map both the left and right atriums, direct my ablation strategy at rotational activity and focal firing and acutely terminate the longstanding persistent atrial fibrillation back to sinus rhythm. Seeing the System's immediate impact has made me optimistic that this patient will now be free of atrial fibrillation."
