Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the number one cause of death globally, and numbers are rising.1 Healthcare providers need holistic solutions to help them improve diagnostic accuracy, enable effective risk stratification and triage, and support image-guided minimally invasive therapies. Siemens Healthineers has a comprehensive array of multimodality technologies, cardiac biomarkers, a connected digital strategy, and the market foresight to bring cardiology into the future. The unique strengths of our holistic coronary artery disease portfolio help care providers make confident diagnostic decisions on coronary artery disease and get patients on the right pathway – fast. Our clear roadmap is designed to transform care delivery for patients with coronary artery disease.

What is the optimal approach to risk stratify and investigate patients after myocardial infarction has been ruled out? 

Watch our CVC webinar and get insights from the experts Michelle Williams, MD, and Prof. Nicolas Mills, MD into troponin-guided Coronary Computed Tomographic Angiography after exclusion of myocardial infarction. 

Tap into the potential

Tap into the potential of multimodality excellence in coronary artery disease

Proven non-invasive testing in risk stratification can prevent unnecessary invasive procedures in coronary artery disease. We are optimizing the patient pathway with a unique portfolio of multimodality imaging and therapy solutions. Our innovations at the point of care and in robotics expand the opportunities improve precision along the patient pathway. Our technologies and digital competence help strengthen interdisciplinary teams for faster care management decisions that can lead to improved clinical outcomes.

What is the role of cardiac MRI in diagnosing myocardial injury in long COVID syndrome? 

Myocardial injury has been observed as a complication of the COVID-19 illness and is associated with a worsened prognosis. Cardiac MRI (CMR) is the preferred imaging modality for the non-invasive evaluation in acute myocarditis. Watch the video with Prof. Puntmann, MD to learn more about the value of CMR in evaluating post-COVID patients with cardiac disease.


Don't miss a beat

Don’t miss a beat in coronary artery disease with tools designed to speed up and improve workflows 

Fast, AI-powered decisions can speed up patient triage and diagnosis. With our broad Cardiology portfolio, we provide non-invasive diagnostic solutions with the potential to prevent unnecessary invasive procedures. Our wide range of intuitive applications and modalities can help manage your growing workload. Speed up workflows, reduce costs, and improve patient outcomes in coronary artery disease with optimal image quality, reliability, and connectivity.

Optimizing CAD patient care

In approx. 60% of pure diagnostic coronary angiographies no relevant coronary lesions are found. In patients presenting with symptoms suggesting chronic CAD, CCTA may be a non-invasive alternative in those patients with low pretest probabilities – according to ESC guidelines.

Step into the future

Step into the future with a clear roadmap for coronary artery disease transformation

Connecting patient data is the key to making confident diagnostic decisions. As digitalization transforms cardiology, agile partners with a clear strategy and a connected portfolio are essential. Siemens Healthineers has the digital expertise to help you transform to alleviate staff shortages, increase quality, and heighten productivity. Our teamplay digital health platform is one of our connecting elements that opens up possibilities in holistic decision making.

Cardiology Portugal Evora Cath Lab

Customer Success Story: Hospital do Espírito Santo de Évora, Portugal
Hospital Espírito Santo de Évora (HESE) is the primary inpatient care facility in Alentejo, the largest region in the country. Alentejo is very rural, and the population consists largely of elderly individuals. The main cause of death is cardiovascular disease. To better respond to the needs of the local population, HESE partnered with Siemens Healthineers to implement two integrated solutions: 

1. The modernization of the cardiac catheterization laboratory (cath lab), as well as the addition of a new cath lab. 
2. The development of a telehealth program for remote care management to serve patients with cardio vascular conditions before and after interventions.

Clinical experiences

"CT angiography, CTA gives us this certainty of what’s going on. So that is the great advantage that I’m not guessing and looking at probabilities, but I’m really sure what’s going on. And accordingly can give my advice to the patients how they should be treated."

A practical approach to cardiac PET/CT

 2021-01-26

SPECT/CT is the most common nuclear medicine imaging modality used to visualize blood circulation in the heart; however, in an increasing number of locations, facilities are switching to PET/CT. The Northwest Clinics in the Netherlands has been one of the region’s pioneers in deploying cardiac PET/CT on a large-scale clinical basis.

Customer Experience

Imaging in a heartbeat

At a leading hospital in Lucerne, Switzerland, radiology specialists are virtually connected with technologists and patients within a network of affiliated hospitals. Thanks to the new software for remote scanning assistance, knowledge transfer is fast, easy, and cost-effective. An additional benefit is that patients have a shorter waiting time for their scan appointments – which has turned out to be especially useful in these times of the COVID-19 pandemic.
