DEVICES, SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR THE DETECTION OF CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE

摘要

Embodiments relate to non-invasive medical devices, systems and methods for the detection of coronary artery disease. In an embodiment, a handheld coronary artery disease (CAD) detection device is used in a non-invasive manner to determine whether an internal coronary artery blockage is present. The CAD detection device can be used in conjunction with an identification element, such as scanning area identification pads or a scanning area guide, to aid in the proper placement of the CAD detection device while scanning a patient. Advantages of embodiments include non-invasive test procedures; quick results; and cost-effectiveness.

1. A system for use in the detection of coronary artery disease comprising:
a detection device including:
a detection device body,at least one sensor coupled to the detection device body,a memory,a controller configured to instruct the at least one sensor to sample data and store the sampled data in the memory, anda contact portion configured to contact a patient; and an identification element including at least one identification area corresponding to a data acquisition location on the patient, the at least one identification area configured to interface with the contact portion, wherein the system is configured to determine a presence of coronary artery disease based on the data sampled by the at least one sensor at the data acquisition location associated with the at least one identification area.
