Committed to Excellence.

American College of Cardiology
59th Annual Scientific Session
March 14 - March 16, 2010
Atlanta, GA

At ACC.10, Siemens will demonstrate its commitment to clinical excellence in cardiology. Come and experience our cardiology solutions – from advanced imaging and laboratory diagnostics to the latest IT solutions.

Part of Siemens' commitment to excellence in cardiology is the support of peer-to-peer experience exchange. Join us for our hands-on learning labs to interact with clinical experts as they guide you in reading typical findings in cardiovascular CT and MR, Echocardiography, and Nuclear Cardiology.

Answering the Toughest Questions in Cardiology

Find out how Siemens' customers are addressing some of the tough clinical challenges in cardiology by downloading the clinical cases featured at the Siemens booth during ACC.10.

Interventional Cardiology: How can I improve the quality of life for aortic valve stenosis patients with a minimally invasive procedure?

/siemens/en_US/rg_marcom_FBAs/images/ACC2010/acc_quest1_q5.jpg

Transfemoral aortic valve implantation – an option in severe aortic stenosis patients.
A 68-year-old woman presents with severe dyspnea (NYHA III). She has known severe aortic valve stenosis, coronary artery disease, and is insulin dependent (diabetes mellitus type 2). The patient was considered to be a high operative risk, thus; an interventional procedure was recommended. Eberhard Grube MD – Helios Clinic Siegburg, Germany.

Echocardiography: What if there is an easier and more accurate method to assess valvular pathology severity?

/siemens/en_US/rg_marcom_FBAs/images/ACC2010/acc_quest2_q5.jpg

Automated, Quantitative Volume Color Doppler Imaging Of Mitral Regurgitation
A 64-year-old woman with dilated cardiomyopathy and shortness of breath at rest. Real-time volume color flow data provides a simpler and more precise way to assess the severity of mitral regurgitation. Dr Mani Vannan – Ohio State University

Cardiovascular IT Solutions: How can we improve echocardiography lab efficiency and decrease report turnaround time?

/siemens/en_US/rg_marcom_FBAs/images/ACC2010/acc_quest3_q5.jpg

Digital Structured Reporting in Pediatric Echocardiography
Little benefit is derived from the best testing if the results are poorly communicated. The echo lab switched to DSR using syngo® Dynamics. Report turnaround time to the referring physician improved significantly from median 23.8 hrs vs. 1.2 hrs despite an increase in monthly echo volume of 12%. Peter C. Frommelt, MD – Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin

Cardiovascular MRI: How can I guide therapy more effectively with MRI?

/siemens/en_US/rg_marcom_FBAs/images/ACC2010/acc_quest4_q5.jpg

Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy (HOCM)
A 65-year-old man presents for evaluation of HOCM prior to septal ablation vs. myectomy for relief of left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction. Short axis single-shot images demonstrate septal scarring. Global ventricular function in only one breath hold thanks to high PAT factors and higher SNR. Dr. Richard White – University of Florida College of Medicine, Jacksonville

Cardiovascular Laboratory Testing: How can I protect the heart of chemotherapy patients?

/siemens/en_US/rg_marcom_FBAs/images/ACC2010/acc_quest5_q5.jpg

Cardioncology: A New Medical Issue
A 36-year-old man diagnosed with large B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Chemotherapy treatment resulted in a cumulative anthracycline dose of 532 mg/mq, and he was subsequently hospitalized for congestive heart failure. The use of cardiac biomarkers during chemotherapy treatment will allow for stratification of patients at risk of developing chemotherapy induced cardiotoxicity. Daniela Cardinale, MD, PhD – European Institute of Oncology

Nuclear Cardiology – SPECT: How can I perform a fast functional evaluation for effective risk stratification in a patient at risk of coronary artery disease?

/siemens/en_US/rg_marcom_FBAs/images/ACC2010/acc_quest6_q5.jpg

Ultrafast Myocardial Perfusion SPECT Imaging with Integrated CT Calcium Scoring
A 65-year-old male patient (225 lbs) presented with shortness of breath on exertion, hypercholesterolemia, and a family history of CAD. IQ•SPECT™ with integrated calcium scoring provided optimal functional evaluation with risk stratification with only a five-minute acquisition. James Corbett, MD – University of Michigan Health System, Ann Arbor, MI

Nuclear Cardiology – PET: How can I identify triple vessel disease in a patient at high risk of coronary artery disease?

/siemens/en_US/rg_marcom_FBAs/images/ACC2010/acc_quest7_q5.jpg

Myocardial Blood Flow Estimation Using Dynamic 13N-NH3 PET•CT
A 78-year-old obese female patient with hypertension presented with progressive dyspnea and signs of heart failure without chest pain. Myocardial blood flow estimation using 13N-NH3 dynamic PET suggests triple vessel coronary artery disease confirmed by coronary angiography. University Hospital Geneva, Geneva, Switzerland.

Cardiovascular CT: How do we manage chest pain patients using Coronary CTA at the lowest possible dose?

/siemens/en_US/rg_marcom_FBAs/images/ACC2010/acc_quest8_q5.jpg

Pulmonary Embolism or Coronary Artery Disease?
A 46-year-old woman concerned about a PE. Scan protocol was to flash the lungs with no breath hold as contrast crossed the PA en route to a regular coronary sequential scan. Decided against a triphasic injection to ensure an excellent PE and coronary exam. John R. Lesser, MD – The Minneapolis Heart Institute
