Traditionally, the interventional cardiologist first visualizes the coronary anatomy in detail when contrast is injected in the catheterization laboratory. For many patients, however, that anatomy has already been captured, often in considerable detail, by coronary CT angiography (CCTA) performed earlier in the clinical pathway. This article considers how this dataset can be used to plan the procedure, an approach referred to as CT-guided PCI.

Juggling ECGs across multiple sites, devices, and departments make consistency and efficiency a daily challenge. But now there’s a better way to see everything, read everything. Philips Cardiac Workstation brings it all together in a streamlined workspace that simplifies ECG acquisition and review.

Philips is using its remote ECG monitoring technology to help providers transform how healthcare is delivered to improve patient care. So that means delivering timely, actionable patient data insights to accelerate clinical decisions and streamline workflows inside and outside the hospital in one location to better monitor patients.

The Cardiovascular Business team embarked on this survey to gain a deeper understanding of the current state of cardiovascular health, the role CVIS plays and the goals cardiovascular leaders have established for the next few years.

Meet the Respondents

This report offers a snapshot of what health system and cardiovascular leaders think. Some of it validates, while some enlightens. It all helps
guide leadership on a data-rich and insightful journey into the future.

When it comes to CVIS strategy across the survey base, C-suite leaders and cardiovascular department heads share the responsibility equally often. But in academic medical centers and multi-hospital systems, the division of power is different.

Today CVIS sits at the heart of cardiovascular care, uniting and propelling clinical, operational and financial success. CVIS is the compass and brain guiding workflow, data flow, decision-making and driving good outcomes.
