RE:JAMA Cardiology Study

https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamacardiology/fullarticle/2777308 Method of Testing: Troponin testing, electrocardiography (ECG), and resting echocardiography were performed after a positive COVID-19 test result. Interleague, deidentified cardiac data were pooled for collective analysis. Those with abnormal screening test results were referred for additional testing, including cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and/or stress echocardiography.
Possibly replacing this method of testing or supplementing it with Ultrasound Plus VMS+3 would be a better approach.
Thank you for putting this article on the Board.. I agree it’s very important, to recognize the Cardiac complications of COVID is a growing public health problem, and that better imaging could facilitate diagnosis and management of these patients.
(Although, with vaccines now spreading rapidly throughout the world, hopefully COVID and this problem will be contained)
The suggestion you’ve raised, as have several others and even GA on the videos, is that the The VMS 3.0, could help in the management of COVID related cardiac disease.
The question is, why are cardiologists not adopting this technology then?
“Necessity is the mother of invention”, Has been a massive force in the advances we have seen in our society. COV ID, has transformed and accelerated adoption of new technologies, and the invention of new technology such as vaccines..
The firstMRNA Vaccines have been approved and already administered inside of the year in some countries, which is unheard of.
A really interesting report that deals with this rapid change and accelerated adoption very recently put forth by MCKinsey, and the link is below here. The focus is on digital adoption, and they indicate that “the share of digital or digitally enabled products in their portfolios has accelerated by a shocking seven years” .
This is also spreading to other technologies and services: “Across regions, the results suggest a seven-year increase, on average, in the rate at which companies are developing these products and services”

So, the point is, I agree completely with the concept, yet , Unless I have missed a video PR,it has not happened at all for VMS/VPT.
While many on this board are very educated about this technology, unless they are not announcing it, no one here is a cardiologist, and after all it is cardiologists who are going to have to agree with this concept and rapidly adopt this new technology.(or vets for pets...hey I am a poet and didn't even know it)
Yet adoption ofVPT technologyit hasn’t happened in the past year, nor over the past decade.
'All this talk, but nada
I’m mentioning this, because my approach is to be rigorous, and question when I read statements, that would lead me to think about the promise, or the hype, which in turn make me think of profits and gets me greedy and excited.
Similarly, when people here Ihave been predicting 1-3 dollar Share price or a multibillion dollar company. What is the evidence for this? Relax...Hold on.. wait for it... It's coming...
What is the model, the math, the revenue or profit projections that support this kind of lofty projections, andthinking?
Most posts, just make these random projections without any support for it, and a newbie can get excited thinking the possibility and probability of this happening might be high.
Simply stated, it is more hype than beef, and a promotion they can lead the uninitiated to invest merely on a promise.
What is good about your post, Pandora is that you have produced a post, that provides some logical support for the thought. That’s actually great.
The question is, is it realistic?
If so, why is there no articles in the cardiology literature, or multi centre clinical trials ongoing , or even just adoption of the technology since it’s approved, given the force of innovation and adoption of digital technologies and other technologies as noted widely and referenced above?
