Improving Lives with Digital Healthcare 8 In the quest to develop effective methods of treating cardiovascular disease, doctors are turning to innovative energy sources and advanced technologies to guide diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring after treatment. Microwaves, cryoenergy, and even lasers allow physicians to treat patients using minimally invasive techniques that deliver the best clinical outcomes and have cost-effective treatment options by reducing hospitalization stays. For example, the latest technologies and the new energy sources physicians employ allow them to operate without the risk of complications with open- heart surgery. Traditional risks to the patient include the possibility of strokes, post-operative infections, and long recovery times. These latest technologies improve the patient's outcome, reducing the need for extensive post-operative care and lengthy hospital stays. These are critical needs for the healthcare industry: Improved outcomes and cost-effective care. Real-Time Sensing To diagnose and deliver the best therapy and monitor patients after treatment, designers of the latest generation of cardiovascular devices are taking full advantage of microminiature electronics. High-performance electronics allows the designer to integrate multiple modalities within the same instrument. Combining different functions into a single catheter further enhances the possibilities of minimally- invasive surgery. Inserted using a single, small incision, the latest devices provide treatment, diagnosis, and monitoring capabilities.
