TomTec introduces 2D cardiac performance analysis package

According to the company, the 2D cardiac performance analysis is a speckle tracking based analysis tool which can analyze 2D data from various ultrasound machines. The user can work with different ultrasound systems in his network and is not limited to specific vendors.

TomTec’s 2D cardiac performance analysis allows a cardiologist to study the behavior of the heart muscle quickly and easily. Quantitative assessment of displacement, velocity and strain in individual muscle segments is available. This helps in diagnosing pathologies like hypertrophic cardiomyopathy or also dyssynchronous ventricles that might have to be treated by cardiac resynchronisation therapy.

Frank Schlau, chief marketing officer of TomTec, said: “2D cardiac performance analysis runs within TomTec’s CardioArena environment which provides connectivity to multivendor Echo labs. This solution is user oriented and fulfills the demands of cardiologists towards a simplified workflow.”
