Asked Questions

PMcardio is a CE-certified AI that reads ECGs and offers a complex assessment of 30+ cardiac abnormalities. Clinically validated in 15+ studies and trusted by over 100,000 clinicians worldwide, it delivers rapid, expert‑level interpretations, empowering emergency physicians, GPs, nurses, paramedics, and cardiologists to act with confidence at the point of care.

Yes, your encrypted data never leaves your region. PMcardio is fully GDPR and HIPAA compliant and adheres to the strictest regulatory and security frameworks, including SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certifications.

Yes, PMcardio has been rigorously validated in more than 15 independent, peer‑reviewed clinical studies. Across these studies, PMcardio AI ECG interpretation outperformed standard‑of‑care methods, delivering:

  • 2x sensitivity for early STEMI detection (often on the very first ECG)
  • Reduces false STEMI alarms by over 60%, preventing false positive cath lab activations
  • Identifies atrial fibrillation (and other arrhythmias) with 98.3 % accuracy – on par with board‑certified cardiologists

PMcardio supports every commercially available 12-lead ECG, whether as a single-page image or a multi-page report.

The only hard requirement is that the ECG (including all its leads) must be printed on electrocardiogram graph paper, where every five small (1 mm) squares, you can find a heavier line forming a larger 5 mm square — this is essentially the standard ECG paper. The entire ECG should appear on one continuous grid, meaning it should not be split across multiple intersecting grids. Additionally, the image must contain only the relevant leads, without any leads from other ECGs intruding into the picture.

Fewer-lead ECGs, such as 1-lead, 3-lead, or 6-lead recordings, are currently not supported.

PMcardio’s AI-powered ECG algorithms recognise 49 distinct patterns across four major categories:

  • Rhythms & arrhythmias: Atrial fibrillation/flutter, supraventricular or ventricular tachycardia, sinus bradycardia/tachycardia
  • Conduction disorders: Left/right bundle-branch block, second- and third-degree AV block
  • Ischaemia & infarction: Acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and STEMI equivalents
  • ECG measurements: QTc, PR, QRS and nine additional measurements

No. PMcardio is a deterministic, CE-certified Class IIb medical device purpose-built for ECG interpretation, not a conversational large language model (LLM).

  • Zero hallucinations: The same ECG file always returns the same diagnosis.
  • Evidence-based training: Fixed model weights are derived from 4 million+ clinically labelled ECGs with matched patient outcomes.
  • Independent proof: Performance has been independently validated in 15 peer-reviewed validation studies across Europe and the U.S.
  • Regulatory oversight: Post-market surveillance and quality-management systems ensure ongoing compliance with Medical Device Regulation.

Yes. Start with a Free Plan that lets you analyse up to 5 ECGs per month at no cost. When you need more reports and advanced Pro features, you can upgrade to a paid subscription with:

  • Larger monthly ECG quota: run as many studies as your workflow demands.
  • AI explainability for STEMI: colour-coded highlights show the waveform segments driving each positive diagnosis.
  • 12 validated interval measurements: instant PR, QRS, QTc intervals and more.
  • 30-day report history: revisit, download, or share any ECG analysed in the past month.

Heart Attacks are #1 cause of death world-wide and killing about 12 milions people a year.

Clinical Definition of Problem

Contrary to popular belief, a heart attacks isn’t a blockage inside of the heart. A heart attack is a blockage of the coronary arteries supplying the heart muscle with oxygenated blood.

So let’s assume you get a blood clot here — it blocks the blood flow downstream, meaning the heart muscle doesn’t get oxygenated blood and heart tissue downstream starts to die.

Clinical Solution​

The way to fix it is relatively simple – doctors put in a stent that opens up the artery and renews blood flow. The latest clinical practice guidelines recommend that this “stenting” happens within 90 minutes from symptom onset.

If you don’t, even if you put in the stent in later, the heart tissue downstream has already been permanently damaged, which reduces the heart’s ability to pump blood. This is the leading cause of heart failure and increases 1-year mortality by two-fold.

Time is muscle.

You have just 90 minutes to diagnose the patient, bring them to the hospital and put in the stent, otherwise there is permanent damage. So problem is, that 1 in 2 heart attacks get initially misdiagnosed at the first point of contact.
