The successful results of the study indicate that the HyperQ(TM)technology, based on sophisticated analysis of high-frequency ECG components,can be implemented in two products: (i) bedside monitoring system for earlydetection of transient ischemic episodes and (ii) a resting ECG system forsensitive diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome, including myocardialinfarction. A highly important clinical application of these two devices isthe identification of heart attacks that are not accompanied by changes instandard ECG.

The results of the study showed that both HyperQ(TM) indices detectedischemia more accurately than ST analysis. Overall accuracy of HyperQ-basedanalysis was found to be 96% for the intensity-based index and 82% for themorphology-based index, both significantly higher than the accuracy of theconventional ST segment analysis at 75%.
"We are proud to present the first results that indicate clearly theHyperQ's strength in ischemia monitoring in a resting condition," said Dr.Amir Beker, Founder & CEO of BSP. "This carries an immense clinical value tocardiac patients, and marks the feasibility of BSP's next product line - themonitoring and resting HyperQ systems, which are planned to be offered to themarket by early 2009. BSP will launch the commercial introduction of theHyperQ(TM) Stress System in the US at the 57th ACC Meeting this March." addedDr. Beker.
