"As a focused leader in health technology, Philips aims to provide integrated solutions across the health continuum from healthy living and prevention, to diagnosis, treatment and after care at home, in order to combat the rising incidence of chronic diseases such as those caused by cardiovascular conditions," said Bert van Meurs, Business Leader, Image Guided Therapy. "We offer a broad portfolio of innovative solutions to optimize the image-guided minimally invasive treatment of cardiovascular conditions, while managing costs."

Philips will exhibit the company's advanced, connected health offerings in the cardiology space at ACC.17, including:

Also at this year's conference, new groundbreaking iFR (instant wave-Free Ratio) outcome results from over 4,500 patients will be announced on Saturday, March 18 at 10:45 a.m. The data, which represent the largest randomized coronary physiology outcome studies to date, has the potential to help shape revascularization guidelines. The announcement and presentation of the outcome data follows Philips' announcement last year of three clinical studies designed to assess the safety of deferring cardiovascular interventions using the company's proprietary iFR pressure measurement technology.

In addition to presenting data around the benefits of iFR technology, Philips will host "Cardiology Talks," a program of short talks and conversation on key findings, trends and ideas impacting the cardiology specialty today. During the 20-minute sessions held in the Forum area of the Philips booth, clinicians, scientists and thought leaders will share their experiences and perspectives, discuss innovations, and invite attendees to join in the conversation. To view the full schedule of sessions, visit the Philips Cardiology Talks page.
