About Volta
- Volta Medical leverages artificial intelligence to revolutionize interventional cardiac electrophysiology. Its cutting-edge software solutions use machine and deep learning algorithms to assist operators during cardiac ablation procedures.
- Volta’s DNA is to provide physicians with solutions that are user-friendly. Its first medical device, VX1, consists of a cue-giving interface designed to facilitate the identification of abnormal electrograms during ablation of complex arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation. With VX1, operators keep their go-to navigation system and catheters.
- The VX1 real-time analysis algorithm has been trained on carefully curated databases of annotated intra-cardiac electrograms. The solution may be used as a support to assist electrogram-based atrial fibrillation ablation.
- VX1 is CE marked and FDA cleared. VX1 was the first artificial intelligence-based software solution to be FDA cleared in the interventional cardiology space.
- Volta Medical is expanding at a fast rate across the globe. Multiple partnerships have been formed with leading centers in Europe and the US.
ABOUT ATRIAL FIBRILLATION
The heart beats are generated by the sino-atrial node, a small tissue region in the right atrium. The propagation of impulses to both upper chambers of the heart – i.e the two atria – causes them to contract and move the bloodto the lower chambers of the heart, a.k.a the ventricles.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common heart rhythm disturbance in adults. AF is caused by abnormal electrical impulses forming anywhere in the atria. AF may be recorded on an electrocardiogram (ECG). The beating heart of AF patients is fast and irregular.
Physicians classify AF according to the duration of arrhythmia episodes. Brief episodes correspond to paroxysmal AF. Longer episodes are known as persistent AF.
ABOUT INTERVENTIONAL ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY
Interventional electrophysiology is a surgical specialty. It requires multiple years of experience and consists of conducting intra-cardiac procedures to cure cardiac arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation.
During an intervention, an electrophysiologist is required to analyze a large amount of information in real-time. First, an accurate visual analysis of up to 30 electrograms is essential. Then, non-electrogram information coming from multiple sources needs additional consideration.
All data allow for seamless progress through the multiple-step procedural workflow.
