New development in cardiac healthcare revealed
Tuesday 23rd September 2008
The development of new ultrasound laptops which could help healthcare trusts meet their targets for patient treatments has been announced.
In news which may impact on people with UK cardiac jobs, the technology has been produced by Siemens Healthcare.
The devices will be used to help provide mobile diagnostic imaging of patients' hearts in community settings.
Echocardiography services provider Echotech has already taken delivery of six of the mobile units, citing their portability, good image quality and IT integration capabilities as reasons behind their selection.
Managing director of the firm Dominic Elton said: "Lord Darzi's recent review of primary healthcare services emphasised the importance of delivering high-quality services closer to the patients' homes."
Meanwhile, the British Heart Foundation recently praised a project being run in Gloucestershire to assist in the recovery of heart attack patients, which involves a multi-disciplinary cardiac rehabilitation programme, thisisgloucestershire.co.uk reported.
