Both technologies will be showcased at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress, in London, August 30-September 2, 2024.\n\n\nCardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death globally, claiming an estimated 17.9 million lives each year. There is an urgent need to diagnose cardiovascular disease earlier to help curb cardiac deaths across the world as more than 60% of these deaths are preventable and premature.1,2 In order to meet this challenge, clinicians across various care areas need the best possible tools and technologies to diagnose and treat cardiovascular disease more efficiently to enable better patient outcomes.\n\n\nGE HealthCare will showcase its latest technology that brings high-quality imaging to the patient’s bedside, cardiac catheterization laboratory and other hospital settings. The ultraportable Vscan Air SL with Caption AI is designed to help more healthcare professionals capture cardiac images so that even non-experts in cardiac ultrasound can help tell the story of their patients’ hearts, better informing diagnoses and treatment plans. Access to this novel technology enables earlier heart disease detection and expands cardiac care into primary care and emergency settings. Vscan Air SL with Caption AI can provide real-time, step-by-step visual guidance to optimize probe movements and includes a quality meter to ensure the user obtains the best possible images. Once a user captures an image, the AutoEF (ejection fraction) feature automatically calculates a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), an important measure of heart function.\n\n\nDuring the ESC Congress, three dedic...
