Business Wire
Vektor Medical, a leader in non-invasive, AI-powered arrhythmia
analysis technology, is proud to announce key milestones achieved
throughout 2024, underscoring a year defined by accelerated growth,
technological innovation, and meaningful clinical impact. From the
widespread adoption of vMap to groundbreaking clinical data and
enhanced reimbursement pathways, Vektor Medical remains steadfast
in its mission to transform arrhythmia care.
Accelerated Adoption of vMap Across Arrhythmia Types
In 2024, vMap demonstrated significant clinical uptake across
both new and existing sites, proving its unique value and utility
in a market flooded with innovative technologies. Adoption in
Atrial Fibrillation (AF) and Atrial Flutter (AFL) cases accounted
for 46% of all vMap usage. The top three arrhythmias – AF,
Premature Ventricular Contractions (PVC), and Ventricular
Tachycardia (VT) – comprised the majority of total cases,
reflecting robust growth and broad utility across arrhythmia
types.
Clinical Evidence & Industry Recognition Reinforces
vMap’s Impact
Significant clinical studies in 2024 further validated vMap’s
role in advancing arrhythmia care:
- Data Presented at AF Symposium: vMap-guided AF driver
localization and ablation achieved 86.5% freedom from all atrial
arrhythmias, compared to 48.0% in the control arm (p<0.01). This
reinforces vMap’s role as a powerful tool to support AF
ablation.
- VT Source Differentiation Study: A study of 136 episodes
from 72 patients demonstrated vMap’s 91.1% accuracy and 97.1%
sensitivity, far surpassing the leading visual ECG methods (62.5%
accuracy).
- Peer-Reviewed vMap Time Study: Published in the Journal
of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, this study highlighted vMap’s
efficiency and efficacy in arrhythmia mapping.
- Pioneering Multimodal Innovation at HRX: HRX showcased
Vektor’s potential multimodal capabilities, currently under
development, earning recognition with 2 of the Top 5 Abstracts for
our product innovation. Combining imaging AI with 12-lead ECG,
presentations demonstrated vMap’s ability to deliver personalized
insights and further advance precision medicine in arrhythmia
care.
Reimbursement Milestone: Category III CPT Code and APC
Assignment
A significant achievement for the year was securing a Category
III CPT Code 0897T for vMap’s noninvasive arrhythmia analysis,
enabling reimbursement for vMap, effective July 1, 2024. This
milestone, paired with an APC assignment, marks a pivotal step in
recognizing vMap's clinical and economic value.
Faster, More Advanced and More Comprehensive Mapping
Throughout the year, vMap’s capabilities were enhanced to
streamline workflows, improve usability, and deliver meaningful
clinical value. Key product milestones included:
- Optimized mapping processes, improving speed by up to 2x.
- Expanded ventricular mapping capabilities, including
classification of endo-vs epicardial sources.
- Broader accessibility and improved workflow integration to
optimize outcomes across diverse healthcare settings.
- Launch of the 60-Minute Mapping Key (complementing the existing
1-hour vMap key), to support focused, rapid arrhythmia assessments
optimized for pre-procedural planning in clinics.
$25 Million Series A Funding Fuels Expansion
A significant highlight of 2024 was the successful completion of
a $25 million Series A funding round led by TVM Life Sciences and
Solas BioVentures. This investment helped drive the scale of
operations and product innovation and expand access to vMap.
Looking Ahead
“The milestones of 2024 reflect the dedication and collaboration
of our team, partners, and supporters,” said Rob Krummen, CEO of
Vektor Medical. “We remain committed to driving innovation,
improving patient outcomes, and empowering clinicians worldwide
with smarter, faster solutions to support arrhythmia care.”
