November 9, 2007 - Toshiba America Medical Systems Inc. recently introduced its Infinix VF-i/SP X-ray system, a universal cardiovascular system designed to accommodate diagnostic and interventional procedures.

November 7, 2007 - Toshiba America Medical Systems Inc. announced the launch of a new study, faCTor64, the Screening For Asymptomatic Obstructive Coronary Artery Disease Among High-Risk Diabetic Patients Using CT Angiography, designed to assess an asymptomatic diabetic population at higher risk for CHD using cardiac CT angiography.

The faCTor64 study will use Toshiba’s Aquilion 64-slice CT system to capture obstructive and non-obstructive, or sub-clinical, coronary heart disease data to determine the best way to treat diabetic patients.

November 7, 2007 - The application of clinical practice modifications combined with advanced electronic technologies can improve the care of patients at risk for sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), according to poster data presented at Scientific Sessions 2007, the annual congress of the American Heart Association.

November 7, 2007 - Patients’ own stem cells injected into their hearts after treatment for an ST elevation heart attack improved their hearts’ improved pumping ability, researchers reported during a late-breaking special session on stem cell research at the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions 2007.

November 7, 2007 – Injecting patients’ own stem cells – ones that exist in skeletal muscle – directly into the heart with a three-dimensional guided catheter is feasible, safe and might be superior to optimal medical therapy (OMT), researchers reported in a late-breaking special session on stem cell research at the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions 2007.

November 7, 2007 - A seven-city study on the impact of new CPR techniques supports the widespread use of the American Heart Association’s new 2005 CPR guidelines, according to the study authors in a presentation at the AHA’s scientific sessions on Nov. 4 in Orlando.

November 6, 2007 – Philips Medical Systems highlighted its recently introduced iE33 Live 3D TEE, an echo system designed to address a growing requirement with complementary 2D and volumetric Live 3D imaging and quantification tools that help clinicians answer questions on structure, efficiency, size and function related to cardiac disease management.

With the 3D power of xMATRIX technology and the reportedly high image clarity of PureWave crystal technology combined into a fully-functioning TEE, the user can see new views of cardiac structure, pathology and function.
