The Mesuron Inc. Avalon-H90 uses magnetometers to detect myocarditis in patients without any physical contact. It uses ventricular repolarization dynamics analysis software to look for abnormalities. The vendor said it is more specific than using ECG. It detects the multidimensional dynamics of the electrical activity caused by differences in functions of electrical action potential of normal heart tissues and abnormal ones with hypoxia.

The two top DAIC stories in September included the use of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) to perform echocardiograms of COVID-19 patients rather than wheeling in larger systems that are more difficult to sanitize. The second top story was on a new trial for Abbott's bioresorbable stent for below-the-knee (BTK) peripheral artery disease lesions. This is a resumption of bioresorbable stent clinical research since the Absorb stent was taken off the market in 2017.
