Philips comprehensive cardiology portfolio showcased at ACC/WCC 2023

At ACC/WCC 2023, Philips showcased enhancements to its cardiology portfolio. The company's cardiology product portfolio meets the growing need for cost-effective diagnosis, treatment, monitoring and management of patients with heart conditions including coronary artery disease, structural heart disease, arrhythmias and heart failure.

Diagnostic Ultrasound
At ACC.23/WCC, Philips debuted its next generation of compact portable ultrasound equipment - the Philips Ultrasound Compact System 5500 CV - delivering premium image quality in a compact form factor, helping to improve clinical confidence and right the first time Diagnostics are at the patient's bedside where every second counts. The Philips Ultrasound Compact System 5500 CV is designed to meet the needs of different clinical specialties including Cardiology and Angiology. The user interface and workflow are compatible with Philips cart-based ultrasound systems EPIQ CVx and Affiniti CVx, which are widely used in cardiology departments worldwide, allowing seamless transition from one system to the other. The Philips Ultrasound Compact System 5500 CV is also compatible with ultrasound system transducers from EPIQ CVx and Affiniti CVx.

Diagnostics - Spectral CT
Also on display at ACC.23/WCC, the Philips Spectral CT 7500 provides an end-to-end solution to help ensure a correct cardiac diagnosis through computed tomography (CT) examinations. It delivers time-proven traditional cardiac imaging performance and results through optimized hardware, as well as artificial intelligence (AI) and intelligent software for image acquisition and reconstruction. Used in conjunction with the Philips Precise Cardiac, AI-enabled cardiac CT algorithms can eliminate cardiac motion artifacts, potentially eliminating the need for repeat scans. The system's unique detector-based "always-on" spectral CT capability captures all data needed to reconstruct conventional and spectral CT images, enabling comprehensive cardiac assessment in a single high-speed scan. Spectral CT 7500 has been shown to reduce the effects of travertine in coronary arteries,

Image Guided Therapy
Another highlight at ACC.23/WCC is the Philips Image-Guided Therapy System - Azurion, the company's advanced image-guided therapy platform that offers a unique user experience to help users intervene confidently and efficiently. Flexible C-arm positioning, bedside touchscreen controls and a large information display create an optimal working environment for complex image-guided procedures.
Philips Ultrasound System to Support Structural Heart Surgery – EPIQ CVxi – Advanced interventional echo system capable of high-resolution 3D transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) imaging, echo-fluorescence fusion imaging when paired with the Philips EchoNavigator for Azurion, or with the Philips Intracardiac Echocardiography Catheter – VeriSight Pro performs intracardiac imaging.

Diagnostic Cardiology Solutions
The Philips IntelliSpace ECG was also featured at ACC.23/WCC. It enhances your workflow with extensive connectivity by giving you quick and easy access to ECGs from virtually anywhere in your healthcare facility. The software brings complexity to workflow management. Automatically manage the flow of ECG records with the rules you establish for acquisition, review, editing, final storage, report distribution, and more.
Also on display is the Philips PageWriter TC70 electrocardiograph, designed to simplify care for cardiac patients. This advanced electrocardiograph accelerates diagnostic ECG testing and simplifies workflow by delivering high-quality clinical reporting virtually anytime, anywhere in the healthcare facility.
Other informatics solutions presented are Philips IntelliSpace Cardiovascular, Philips Advanced Visualization Workspace – IntelliSpace Portal, and Philips Ultrasound Workspace. They added an integrated IT environment to foster collaboration and improve workflow, shortening the path to precise decisions.

Ambulatory Heart Monitoring
Philips helps expand patient monitoring beyond the hospital and improve outcomes with its ambulatory cardiac monitoring portfolio, which includes a range of monitors with flexible wearing options to improve patient compliance. Cloud-based AI and advanced algorithms quickly process high-quality ECG data into actionable reports that integrate with EMRs to accelerate decision making, support streamlined workflows, and enable patient-centric care. Philips Mobile Cardiac Telemetry - MCOT detects atrial fibrillation (AF) with 100% sensitivity and 100% positive predictiveness in detecting AF episodes ≥30 seconds. Its 30-day continuous monitoring of post-cryptogenic stroke patients before they were fitted with implantable loop recorders (ILRs) resulted in nearly eight-fold cost reductions compared with monitoring, with each AF detected Total cost to patients was reduced by $198,909 using ILR alone.
