Increasing diagnostic confidence with the EPIQ CVx cardiology ultrasound platform
At the ESC Congress 2019 Philips is also highlighting the new advanced automation capabilities available on the EPIQ CVx cardiology ultrasound platform. By incorporating advanced automation, there is less variability between scans, leading to confident treatment decisions which benefits patients. The new release of EPIQ CVx is a major step forward, reducing the number of touches of the system by 21% in each exam, which is equivalent to more than 400 exams each year [2].
The AutoStrain LV application uses advanced Automatic View Recognition technology to identify the different views of the heart, providing exceptional visualization and analysis of left ventricular function – extremely important diagnostic information for patients at risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Also new are the AutoStrain LA and AutoStrain RV applications, which automate the measurement of left atrial and right ventricular longitudinal strain respectively. By creating reliable and reproducible strain measurements for the left ventricle, left atrium and right ventricle, the AutoStrain LV, LA and RV applications support clinicians treating patients with atrial fibrillation, arrhythmia and other complex heart conditions.
Enabling value-based cardiac care
With the shift to value-based care, healthcare providers are increasingly focused on balancing the need to provide the highest quality care with managing their operational costs. Philips provides intelligent solutions that help clinicians to be more efficient and effective, enabling them to deliver a consistent standard of care, optimize care pathways, simplify workflows and drive better treatment outcomes.
The ESC Congress 2019 will take place at the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, France. Visit Philips at Stand #590. During the event, Philips will host a Satellite Symposium on Ultrasound featuring leading worldwide experts.
