Shimadzu Medical Systems team up with Change Healthcare Cardiology
SAN DIEGO, Sept. 25, 2018 — Shimadzu Medical Systems USA and Change Healthcare, have entered a partnership through which Shimadzu will offer Change Healthcare Cardiology™ Hemo, along with its Trinias line of angiography systems. The announcement was made today at the annual Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT2018) meeting in San Diego.
