path, enabling better patient and cost effective care
- IVUS (intravascular ultrasound) - provides detailed and
accurate measurements of the vessel and a wide range of clinical
studies has been shown to help ensure accurate stent expansion
- iFR Scout - pullback technology reveals the physiologic profile
of the entire vessel and is optimized to assess serial lesions and
diffuse coronary disease enabling physicians to make informed
treatment decisions
- Dynamic Coronary Roadmap - provides live 3D image guidance for
navigating vascular structures by overlaying real-time 2D
fluoroscopy images and a 3D reconstruction of the vessel tree
acquired with the 3D-RA feature of your Allura X-ray system or from
a previous CT/MR scan*
- StentBoost Live - a tool for stent visualization in the
coronary arteries*
- HeartNavigator - provides immersive user experience and
automated tasks to simplify planning, measurement, device
selection, and choice of X-ray viewing angle for TAVI, LAA, Mitral
and other SHD procedures
- 3D Room Planner - a digital tool that enables modality
specialists to closely work together in creating a lively
experience and understanding of the future OR in a 3D

Prevention and Healthy Living
According to the recent Future Health Index commissioned by
Philips, of the more than 25,000 patients surveyed, one-third (35%)
have a cardiology related medical issue, with high blood pressure
being the most common condition, present in 23% of survey
respondents. Furthermore, the majority (87%) of healthcare
professionals in the cardiology space surveyed also indicated they
consistently advise patients to keep track of their blood pressure
regularly. The results of the Future Health Index reinforce
the need to move from reactive to proactive and preventative care
management, especially within cardiology. To that end, Philips will
showcase its personal health programs at the ESC Congress 2016.
Philips' personal health programs represent a new era in connected
care by empowering consumers to improve their health through better
habits.
