The future in cardiological conversation
CARDIO SHOW ROOM

Better treatment of cardiovascular diseases thanks to medical research and technical innovations

Most people in Germany still die of cardiovascular diseases. In 2015, 39 percent of all deaths were due to cardiovascular diseases. In recent years, there has been extreme progress in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. There are both medical and technical reasons for this.

At the same time, it has become increasingly difficult for patients and doctors to understand and explain the many different procedures. In a typical patient consultation, the doctor has so far only been able to explain the disease and the treatment options to the patient with words, drawings or pictures.

In such a conversation, the patient receives a great deal of information on modern therapy options, such as operations, interventions and ablations (interventions with catheters). However, he can hardly process the information because he is non-professional. Often enough, patients do not dare to ask questions if they have not understood something. The emotional strain is aggravating because one or a close person is affected.

The CardioShowroom (CSR) explains cardiovascular diseases

Now a program is coming onto the market that will greatly improve patient education: the CARDIOLECTRA CardioShowroom (CSR).

HOW DOES A HEALTHY HEART WORK?

The CardioShowroom (CSR) shows you exactly how it works. At the core of the CSR is a 3D heart that can be rotated, cut open, made transparent or zoomed in. Interactive animations illustrate the functions of the healthy heart:

  • the pump function
  • the blood circulation
  • the heart rhythm and
  • the flap function.

One click opens the heart and the blood vessels, valve structure and excitation conduction system become visible. The program allows you to take your time and look at the functioning of the healthy heart using comprehensible texts.

WHAT DOES A SICK HEART LOOK LIKE?

Diseases and typical disease progressions can also be systematically selected and displayed on the 3D model at the touch of a button.

From the four categories of cardiovascular diseases

  • Circulatory disorders (coronary heart disease)
  • heart rhythm disturbances
  • flap defect
  • Heart failure (heart failure)

the most common diseases can be systematically selected on the 3D model. The corresponding, typical disease courses can be seen and an explanatory animation can be obtained at the touch of a button.

HOW DO YOU CURE A DISEASED HEART?

In the following step you can see the different technical therapy possibilities of the disease. You can see the effects of both established and novel treatment methods. For example, you can see how a closed artery is reopened with catheter technology in the event of a heart attack.

In the case of a narrowed aortic valve – the large valve between the left ventricle and the aorta – it is shown how the valve affected by calcification is dilated and then a biological aortic valve prosthesis is released.

Improved understanding of cardiovascular diseases

The modern 3-D view provides a better understanding of diseases and treatment options. Many questions about certain techniques and procedures are already answered by seeing the therapeutic device used.


The 3D heart of CARDIOLECTRA: designed for many purposes

The CardioShowroom (CSR) is perfectly designed for

  • for patient consultation
  • for medical teaching and study as well as
  • to present the mode of action of medical technology and pharmaceutical products for cardiology.

Below we present the different versions in more detail.

CSR Basic

The CSR is an interactive, intuitively operable 3D representation of a heart that significantly improves the quality of physician-patient conversations.

CardioShowroom (CSR) explains cardiovascular diseases

The CARDIOLECTRA CardioShowroom (CSR) is a program which will greatly improve patient education. The images the patient sees in the CardioShowroom allow him to go into the OR/intervention/ablation with a better feeling. The patient can now visualize the pending procedures and the course of the procedure himself and thus has more confidence in the doctor and the procedure.

The 3D heart of CARDIOLECTRA can also make complications visible

The aesthetic and technically well-designed animations of the CardioShowroom lead the patient to a much better understanding of the disease, of the upcoming procedure but also of the treatment risks. The CardioShowroom therefore provides much better support for patient education than words, drawings or pictures.

The tablet app for patients will be launched in autumn 2019. A free trial version is available in advance. Please enter CARDIO2019 as license key.

CSR Educator

More than learning: Understanding.

The Cardio Showroom supports the education and training of medical personnel in medical studies as well as in nursing and health care professions.

The CardioShowroom for medical teaching

The CardioShowroom (CSR) can be used as an interactive learning module in e-learning via a browser. It is perfectly suited for students, young doctors and trainees in the field of medical technology, for staff training in the medical technology and pharmaceutical industries as well as for training at nursing schools and MTA schools.

CSR Professional

A new quality in patient consultation.

The CSR is an interactive, intuitively operable 3D representation of a heart that noticeably improves the quality of doctor-patient conversations.

The CardioShowroom for consultations in the heart failure outpatient department, valve outpatient department, rhythm outpatient department

The CardioShowroom (CSR) was developed by a cardiologist. The interactive 3D consulting instrument supports the specialist physician, cardiologist, heart surgeon in the patient consultation, in the special outpatient department or in the cardiological practice with first-class 3D animations.

The excellent visual support provides the consultation with a new quality that strengthens the confidence in the physician and his treatment method. Questions of understanding can be better explained, many of them are eliminated by the dotted and visualized information.

The consultation is shorter but the quality is better and the patient is left with a very good feeling for the disease and the intervention. The confidence in the physician and his treatment on a high technical standard is strengthened.

The program can be individually adapted so that the physician’s preferred types of intervention for the respective disease are preferred, e.g. different techniques for the ablation of atrial fibrillation.

The heart model is displayed on a large 32″ or 42″ diameter touchscreen monitor.

The license program for Health Care Professionals is available immediately. Specialists receive a free trial version for three months. Please enter CARDIO2019 as license key.

CSR in sales

Do not just present – convince.

The Cardio Showroom (CSR) is the perfect tool to train employees in the medical technology and pharmaceutical industries in the effectiveness of new products and means.

New products or means as well as their effect are shown graphically. New training contents are thus more easily accessible, faster and better understood and can be reproduced more comprehensively than with conventional training courses through presentations.

Highly trained employees are able to introduce customers to the latest products and tools through CSR and explain them much better. Questions will be answered better and faster. The effect is more convincing than with a usual presentation. Each manufacturer receives an individual version of the Cardio Showroom in order to optimally present and communicate the functionality of their products or medicines.
