Queen of Hearts is coming to #ESCCongress 2026 🫀
Major independent AI-ECG studies:
→ OMI/NOMI Symposium — Sun 30 Aug, 08:15–09:45 → External validation: 13 centers, 4 countries — Sat 29 Aug, 10:10
→ First UK multicenter OMI data — Sun 30 Aug, 15:15
📅 Full schedule below.
What happens when AI transforms cardiac care pathways? ⚡
At #ESC2026, we are bringing new clinical evidence, real-world results from European health systems, and #PMcardio live.
🇩🇪 Munich | 28–31 Aug
📍 Digital Health Area | Booth DH2
Meet us there 👇
Seeing a clinical need identified in the cath lab at Aalst evolve into a certified medical device and platform that now helps millions of patients worldwide is incredibly rewarding, and exactly the kind of impact that inspired me to pursue medicine!
Six hospitals. One region. One AI pathway.
AZORG (Belgium) rebuilt acute cardiac care with #PMcardio — an ambulance ECG reaches the cardiologist before the patient arrives.
One year: 32,000+ ECGs, 350+ monthly clinicians, guideline adherence up 50%+.

A great STEMI pathway works the same at 3 AM as it does at 3 PM.
A year of AZORG data says it can: 48 min off door-to-balloon, STEMI equivalents treated up to 6 hours earlier, 377 clinicians monthly.
Proud of this one. Thanks to the AZORG and Heart Center Aalst teams!
🚑 STEMI/OMI Pathway 2025 in Review at AZORG!
In 2025, @PMcardioApp helped AZORG reduce door-to-balloon times by 48 minutes and accelerate treatment for STEMI-equivalent patients by up to 6 hours, with 377 clinicians using the platform each month.
#PMcardio#STEMI
Cardiovascular Research Center Aalst was among the very first believers in PMcardio.
Today, more than 300 clinicians across the AZORG Hospital network actively use PMcardio (500+ heart attacks per year detected) as their AI-enabled STEMI care coordination platform.
At #ACC2026, Dr. Henry, founder of the first pPCI Network in the US, shares why AI #ECG is revolutionizing heart attack care:
→ Fewer false positives
→ Faster treatment of #STEMI equivalents
→ Closing the care gap at non-PCI centers (only 17% treated on time)
#FOAM#MedEd
🧵 New data on PMcardio’s Queen of Hearts just dropped, including 2 @JACCJournals papers.
Across 3,000+ patients and 5 U.S. health systems:
👉 A large share of occlusive MIs without traditional criteria are treated with delays & well working STEMI systems already practice OMI!
More and more, the Occlusion Myocardial Infarction vs. Non-Occlusion paradigm (OMI/NOMI) is overtaking the old and useless STEMI/NonSTEMI paradigm. Listen here to @josenalencar
Honored to have received the @JACCJournals Spencer King 2025 Award! 🏆
Excited to keep improving and pushing the boundaries of AI ECG and improving Acute MI detection.
#JACCINT honors Dr. Robert Herman with the Spencer King Award for Outstanding Scholarship for his innovative research, "#AI-Enabled ECG Analysis Improves Diagnostic Accuracy & Reduces False #STEMI Activations" 🎉 https://t.co/SZpTwTSfO2 #ACC26#TheFaceOfCardiology@RobertHermanMD
Are you at #ACC26 in New Orleans?
Let’s connect to talk about STEMI → OMI paradigm shift and how Queen of Hearts is bridging the gap in first medical contact MI diagnosis and management.
We’re excited to share that Powerful Medical will be participating in ACC.26 in New Orleans.
Our team will be presenting 2 scientific presentations at one of the world’s leading cardiology meetings.
We’re looking forward to meeting fellow clinicians, partners, and innovators!
As I straddle presentations and meetings at three events this week in 3 different cities, my consistent mantra for medical innovations is clinical validation. Thanks to my friends at @PowerfulMedical for the cartoon making this point.
AI outperforms conventional diagnosis for certain types of heart attacks
We’re proud to see this important prospective study of 1,490 suspected NSTE-ACS patients led by Matthias Unterhuber and Federico Nani at Bolzano Hospital featured by the European Society of Cardiology.
PMcardio Web now has built-in Calipers and can convert paper speed and ECG formats.
Right-click any ECG and send it instantly to PMcardio via the new Chrome extension.
DM me to see if you qualify for complimentary ECG educator access!
🎯 Enrollment completed for the AI ECG TIMI Study
709 heart attack patients enrolled across 9 centers in 3 countries to study how AI ECG analysis can improve detection of occlusive myocardial infarction.
Serial ECGs.
All-comer ACS population.
Core-lab adjudicated angiograms.
