GE HealthCare installs First Allia IGS Pulse Electrophysiology Lab in US for minimally invasive cardiovascular procedures

GE Healthcare and Heart Hospital of New Mexico at Lovelace Medical Center (HHNM) have announced HHNM as the first location in the United States to install GE HealthCare’s latest Allia Image Guided System (IGS) Pulse, which was designed to provide exceptional image quality and improve workflow for the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases (CVD).

HHNM will use the Allia IGS Pulse system in its cardiac electrophysiology (EP) lab to plan, guide and monitor the outcomes of electrophysiological procedures, such as cardiac ablations, cardiac catherizations, transcatheter aortic valve replacements, balloon and coronary angioplasties and more.

The advanced imaging technology will enable clinicians to perform complex cardiology interventions with a high level of precision and superior image quality. The Allia IGS Pulse system is designed to help improve clinician workflow while also providing superior imaging at the right dose for visible impact in complex cardiology interventions regardless of patient size - including large and bariatric patients with a BMI of greater than 30.

“We can accommodate patients of any size and the system provides us with a personalised workspace that meets our specific needs and preferences, resulting in shorter surgical time and better outcomes for our patients”, said Sean Mazer, M.D., FHRS, FACC, electrophysiologist and president of the New Mexico Heart Institute/Lovelace Medical Group.
