[{"type":"text","content":"--News Direct--By Jeremy Golden, BenzingaCardio Diagnostics (NASDAQ: CDIO), a leader in artificial intelligence-driven precision cardiovascular medicine, has published a potentially revolutionary study in the Journal of the American Heart Association (JAHA). Conducted in collaboration with Intermountain Healthcare and University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, the publication details the development and validation of PrecisionCHD, a pioneering artificial intelligence-guided integrated genetic-epigenetic test for detecting coronary heart disease (CHD).Titled \"The Validation of an Integrated Genetic-Epigenetic Test for the Assessment of Coronary Heart Disease,\" the article sheds light on Cardio Diagnostics’ progress in the field of cardiovascular medicine while showcasing PrecisionCHD’s ability to detect CHD with high sensitivity with a blood test and provide better testing access to underserved communities. Democratizing Access Traditional diagnostic methods for CHD, often inaccessible due to the need for specialized infrastructure, can be invasive and sometimes require exposure to ionizing radiation. Additionally, some of the tests are not sensitive to all forms of CHD and can be very costly, leaving millions of Americans without adequate and potentially lifesaving cardiac care. PrecisionCHD is the first integrated genetic-epigenetic test for the detection of CHD. With the introduction of PrecisionCHD, clinicians are armed with a powerful, scalable and non-invasive alternative that comes in the form of a blood-based test that uses artificial intelligence (AI), along with personalized genetic and epigenetic information, to detect the presence of CHD.Those who read the JAHA publication will learn about the development and validation of the PrecisionCHD test in three independent cohorts totaling 2,516 individuals. The study was collaboratively conducted by researchers from Cardio Diagnostics, Intermountain Healthcare and the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. PrecisionCHD uses the input from six methylation sensitive digital PCR (MSdPCR) assessments to determine the presence or absence of CHD. The article details the mapping of each of these MSdPCR assays to distinct modifiable drivers of CHD, through which clinicians are able to gain personalized insights into each patient’s CHD presentation. It also notes that because met...
