Connected Cardiovascular Care @ ESC 2012

GE Healthcare was present at ESC 2012 to discuss your cardiovascular care needs and to showcase our connected solutions for Acute and Stable Chest Pain Management.

We explained how our connected cardiovascular solutions could help you reduce door to balloon time for your STEMI patients, support early diagnosis, complete characterization and targeting of treatment in patients with suspected Coronary Artery Disease (CAD).

If you had missed our presentations at ESC or you would like to learn more or give us your feedback, please

contact us here.

We will be happy to listen you and answer your needs.

You can also discover here our new Hybrid OR showcased at ESC booth, designed to perform complex cardiac procedures.

Your experience at the booth

This year at our booth you had a chance to follow the path your chest pain patient would take to the Cath lab.
Once your patients arrived at the cath lab you could re-discover cardiac procedures with GE Healthcare's new image guided systems designed to enable you to perform complex cardiac procedures.
We were showcasing how our connected chest pain management portfolio could help you to:
• reduce door to balloon time for your critical STEMI patients
• identify which of your intermediate risk patients need treatment
• optimize the pathway costs.

Contact us here, tell us about your needs and Re-discover cardiac procedures. See how you can optimize the usability of your hybrid room with GE Healthcare’s suite of integrated solutions.

Marquette 12SL ECG analysis program

Offering exceptional value throughout the continuum of care
Since the introduction of the Marquette* 12SL ECG analysis program in 1980, GE Healthcare has consistently expanded its electrocardiograph-based suite of ECG analysis programs and capabilities. Today, we continue to lead developments in computerized ECG analysis, setting even higher levels of clinical accuracy, validity, and performance. Through extensive clinical evaluation and the use of classic and newly developed ECG interpretation criteria and measurement technologies, we steadily refine and improve our comprehensive suite of ECG analysis programs.

Interventional

Leading the Healthcare (R)evolution

As medicine evolves to less invasive procedures, GE Healthcare is committed to help healthcare providers lead the way. At ESC 2012 we presented how our latest innovations in Interventional Cardiology would integrate clinical information tailored to your cardiovascular procedure, deliver high image quality, flexibility and throughput and bring comfort to you and your staff.

Re-discover space and movement
Our new Hybrid OR solution, showcased at ESC 2012, is a laser-guided motion technology which combines the benefits of a mobile C-arm with the power of advanced imaging for interventional procedures.
This neither floor nor ceiling-mounted motorized gantry will create an environment intended to allow complete access to the patient and accommodates a wide variety of clinical positions, while maintaining sterility for a flexible and secure OR environment.

At ESC we also presented our latest imaging solutions for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement with new Valve Assist.
Valve Assist represents the imaging solution that allows you to understand patient anatomy and plan the appropriate therapy path and strategy. Moreover Valve Assist enables you to locate the region of interest and deliver the planned therapy by using visualization techniques.
