Haven't posted here for a while since no really new news. But now we are approaching report time. If you remember, the first attempt to run a trial for labelling approval to say something like "the finding of
t-alternans waves is correlated with an 85% risk of sudden death within one year (the patient is a candidate for a pacemaker)". That first trial was not able to accrue enough patients due to the trial design, and the location of the studies (the centers would immediately cath the patients preventing timely use of the instrument).

Now this time around, it looks like they have completed the study, or are getting close to it. If this study is anything like the smaller, scientific studies have continued to be, the results should be good. I think they are scheduled to present data in a month or two. Worth looking at again if you haven't lately.
