the only diagnostic tools cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration to non-invasively measure microvolt levels of T-wave

About the Cambridge Heart Microvolt T-Wave Alternans Test
The Cambridge Heart Microvolt T-Wave Alternans Test measures extremely
subtle beat-to-beat fluctuations in a person’s
heartbeat called T-wave alternans. These tiny heartbeat variations –
measured at one millionth of a volt – are
detected in any clinical setting where titration of the heart rate is
possible. The preparation for the test consists of placing proprietary
sensors on a patient’s chest. Extensive
clinical research has shown that patients with symptoms of, or who are
at risk of, life threatening arrhythmias that test positive for T-wave
alternans are at significant risk for subsequent sudden cardiac events
including sudden death, while those who test negative are at minimal
risk.
