3-D Echocardiogram Probe

Funding Need: $181,428

A major enhancement to the echocardiogram, this revolutionary equipment produces animated, real-time images that show what the heart would look like if it were beating right in front of you. This “surgeon’s eye” view displays the exact shape and measurement of the heart valves, allowing for more accurate assessments and shortened procedure times, while decreasing the possibility of post-surgical failure. Your gift will help patients with heart problems receive world-class levels of diagnosis and treatment.

Cardiac Intravascular Ultrasound System (IVUS)

Funding Need: $181,060

More than one in three Americans suffer from some type of cardiovascular disease. When patients come to the hospital with chest pain, they want to feel assured that an accurate assessment will be made. Your gift can help purchase a leading-edge Imaging System that sends 3-D images of the interior of blood vessels to a computer monitor. These highly-enhanced images enable the cardiologist to clearly see multiple layers of blood vessels and obtain precise measurements of any blocked areas – a critical factor in administering the correct treatment – resulting in fewer unnecessary procedures and medical complications, and shortened procedure times.
