August 21, 2015 — Loyola University Medical Center is the first and only hospital in Illinois to offer a new, noninvasive technology to test for coronary artery disease.

The technology employs noninvasive CT scans to calculate how much blood is flowing through diseased coronary arteries that have narrowed due to a buildup of plaque. The patient does not need to undergo an invasive angiogram that involves threading a catheter to the heart.

BioSig Technologies announced it has signed a sponsored research agreement with the regents of the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) to conduct preclinical evaluation of BioSig's Pure EP System in a ventricular tachycardia (VT) model.
