Patient’s stories

Echopoint Medical has partnered with the International Heart Spasms Alliance (IHSA), a patient advocacy group that has spent years raising awareness of ANOCA and its related conditions.

Their advocacy has helped move these conditions from the margins of cardiology into mainstream conversation, and remains vital to how these patients are diagnosed and treated.

At Echopoint we believe a device designed to change patient outcomes cannot be built without the voice of the patients it’s built for. Through this partnership, IHSA leadership will help ensure that patient voice is present at every stage of iKOr’s clinical evaluation and public communication.

I was misdiagnosed with asthma in my early 20s. I had breathlessness, shoulder blade pain, numb cold hands and feet, distended neck veins, and a grey, gaunt appearance.
