Cardiac care is a series of defining moments. Empower those moments with clinically-smart diagnostic solutions, streamlined workflows, and actionable insights for data-driven cardiac care. Light the way for clear care pathways for even your most complex patient journeys.
Clinical efficiency
Efficiency for managing processes and practices
Cardiac care is driven by urgency. Cardiac specialists need workflows and advanced diagnostic tools that bring clear insights about the patient's condition quickly and enable efficiency throughout the care pathway.
This is about having a comprehensive suite of tools to support diagnostic workflows by helping to manage data and data sources, and by applying algorithms that provide robust measurements and assessments for confident decisions.
But it is also about how easy it is to share expertise and opinions. Today more than ever, this means remote clinical collaboration, consultation, and diagnostic support – between colleagues and across locations.
Expand access to expertise in echocardiology
Efficiency is an essential part of any echocardiology exam – particularly if unforeseen issues arise. Often a resolution might just need a quick consultation with the referring doctor, a knowledgeable colleague, or a specialist on the echo system. But what if that expert is not close by – assuming they can take time out from what they are already doing?
Connecting remotely with the sonographer or physician performing the exam makes it possible to provide real-time consultation and guidance. This can avert missed information, avoid extended exam times or repeat exams, and enable experts to expand their reach from wherever they are working.

Leading the way in efficient diagnosis with cardiac imaging and informatics
Cardiac imaging workflows need to be streamlined at every step to address the priority, complexity and volume of cases. This happens through support for comprehensive and insightful analyses by the specialists performing the cardiac imaging study.
Efficiency in cardiac imaging plays a significant role in how fast the referring physicians can proceed with their treatment planning.

Diagnostic confidence
Innovations in echo and cardiac imaging to support diagnostic confidence
Everything starts with smart measurement and signal processing technologies. But it’s the integration of clinical decision support tools, automated calculations, and AI algorithms that provide you with advanced visualizations and analyses, and easily comparable results. That’s what gives you a head start on making precise decisions across clinical settings and over time, to support both acute and long-term cardiac care for each patient.
Cardiac care is driven by data. How easily you can arrive at confident diagnoses depends on the quality and completeness of that data, and how it is presented for your interpretation.
Clarity in echocardiology diagnosis
To tackle this, you need advanced visualization and quantification tools that enhance image quality for tissue, valves and flow, and give you consistent results across users and exam series. This helps minimize exam time for patients and improve your overall workflow.
You face increasing numbers of difficult-to-image patients among the competing demands on your time and attention. That means you need better support than ever from your echocardiology capabilities.
Easy understanding for confident assessments
Assessing cardiac anatomy has meant working with 2D and 3D imaging that’s complex and not intuitive.
See how photorealistic 3D rendering can make it easier for you to interpret what you’re seeing and reach a better overall understanding of cardiac structures.
Experience the difference between cardiac images and cardiac insight
Smart diagnostic systems combined with advanced visualization tools work together to support precise, confident quantification and analysis in reading cardiac MR and CT exams, to deliver useful results to referring physicians.
Guidelines and reimbursement changes are recommending the use of CT and MR to detect many anatomical and functional heart diseases at earlier stages and to diagnose them with greater accuracy. But these powerful studies are also complex.

Clear care pathways
Confidence for early detection and mitigation of heart failure
Achieving a confident diagnosis takes tools that can be incorporated into routine exams – to keep the thresholds to detection and comprehensive follow up low. It also takes flexibility to adapt to new medical challenges as they arise.
Cardiac care is driven by decisions. These influence the patient's journey, particularly in complex cases. The sooner a condition is detected, the greater the influence on the quality of the treatment and follow-up care.
Putting the heart into
long-term cancer care
For cancer patients, cardiovascular issues such as chemotherapy-induced cardiomyopathy and cardiac-dysfunction can cause problems– even years after therapy.
Cardiac assessment of cancer patients for earlier diagnosis of damage enhances the opportunities to accommodate cardioprotective cancer treatment.

COVID-19 and the heart
As COVID-19 spread across the world, clinicians worked to understand the impact of the virus and develop and share methods for diagnosis and care pathways, adjusting as new science emerges. Early in the management of the disease, much focus was on the impact on the lungs and as time progressed, the impact on the heart became evident.
Smart diagnostic technologies are supporting the evaluation and understanding of acute and long-term implications of the virus on the heart.
