New devices allow digital heart surgery

Philips will be exhibiting at this year's ESC Congress 2015 with a new line of digital cardiology products

The portfolio includes digital tools for image guided therapy and ultrasound, intravascular imaging and sensing, treatment, patient monitoring, healthcare IT and advanced software applications driving advancements in predictive and precision medicine in cardiovascular care.  

“Holistic cardiovascular care looks beyond the disease to understand what really matters for all involved along the patient journey” said Bert van Meurs, General Manager, Image Guided Therapy for Philips.

“Our patient-centric solutions enable novel and effective minimally invasive procedures to diagnose and treat cardiovascular disease. These solutions also support physicians when assessing disease states, help decide and guide the right treatment and confirm whether interventions were successful. In addition, our recent acquisition of Volcano will increase our capabilities to deliver this support to both physicians and patients”  

ESC Congress 2015 is the largest cardiology event in the world. Throughout the event, Philips and its physician partners will participate in several satellite symposia and hands-on tutorials on topics including anatomical intelligence and peri-interventional imaging.  

Philips’ newest ultrasound technology cardiac tool, HeartModel., which brings automated 3D views, robust reproducibility and advanced quantification to cardiac ultrasound imaging, will make its European debut at the Philips stand. Philips will also offer demonstrations of its advanced imaging and ultrasound products.
