Cardiovascular Catherization and Structural Heart

The Ultimate Interventional Ecosystem for Hemodynamic Procedural Reporting 

Managing the data-intense environment of the cath lab requires a reporting solution that keeps pace with high-velocity interventions. The ASCEND CATH module aggregates massive streams of live data from your EHR, hemodynamic monitoring devices, and imaging systems to draft complete, interventional narratives instantaneously. 

Seamless Clinical Reporting Across Every Interventional Phase 

Faster, More Accurate Diagnostic Decisions

ASCEND utilizes detailed event logs, medication administration records, inventory, and time-stamped physiologic measurements alongside physician interpretations to create a complete, accurate clinical summary while eliminating manual post-procedure data capture.

 Dedicated documentation tabs capture data across both the Stress phase and the Imaging phase seamlessly, keeping chronologies perfectly organized. ​

Integrated ECG Findings

Quickly document repolarization abnormalities, rhythm variations, and resting anomalies within a dedicated baseline and stress ECG tracking interface

Structured MPI Findings

Input precise perfusion data into an organized MPI-specific findings array, converting visual scan interpretations into database-ready clinical text. 

Image Analysis Integration

Office Worker Smiling

Full integration with your image review workstation to  import the complete spectrum of perfusion data and optionally embed key clinical images directly into the final document. Native reporting capabilities that are far more integrated with EHR and treadmill data, far more user friendly than the basic reporting capabilities of native nuclear analysis software and fully integrated with your multimodality service line clinical and operational data. 

The Nuclear Cardiology module tracks the patient's journey from baseline vitals through stress protocols and ECG results to final image interpretation, ASCEND provides a clear structured format that enhances diagnostic accuracy and report clarity. 

Key Capabilities:

  • Direct Hemo Device Integration: Seamlessly integrate procedure log and hemodynamic data from all major hemodynamic monitoring systems as well as merge diagnostic logs and pressure waveforms from market-leading hemodynamic devices (such as Merge Cardio and PGE Mac-Lab) into your active report worksheet.

  • Dual Physician Support: Natural support cases with separate diagnostic and interventional providers.

Unified Stress and Imaging Lifecycles

​​

  • Interaction Coronary & Lesion Diagrams: Advanced vascular diagrams support rapid description of lesion, stents, bypass grafts, and collateral flow with just a few clicks.

  • Structural Heart Procedure Suite: Support cutting-edge structural work including TAVI/TAVR, Mitraclip, valvuloplasty, LA appendage closure, and device-based septal defect repairs.

Specialized Care Demnands Specialized Technology

Enterprise EHR systems are excellent for broad hospital management, but the cath lab demands a highly optimized and fully integrated solution that single modality vendors and generic EHR platforms cannot provide. 

​

ASCEND is engineered exclusively for cardiovascular workflows. We don’t just record that a procedure happened. We deeply integrate with your lab’s reality to automate the entire reporting lifecycle. 

Operational Impact

The ASCEND Difference

Hemodynamic Integration

Lack full, data-level hemo integration.

Full integration of structured data from hemo and other lab devices.  

Physician Workflow

Relies on generic note templates and heavy text typing to capture custom interventions.

Features a dynamic, bidirectional interface where picking a dropdown or interacting with a vascular diagram writes the exact narrative for you. 

Interventional Adaptability

Rigid chronological structures that are difficult to alter once data is initially captured. 

Supports live, drag-and-drop narrative reordering, allowing doctors to instantly resequence complex, multi-lesion steps on the fly. 

Structural Heart Support

Requires custom, multi-screen workarounds to document cutting-edge device deployments. 

Native, deep-level structured data forms built specifically for TAVI/TAVR, Mitraclip, and advanced closure procedures. 

Experience the ASCEND Advantage 

Autonomic Data Aggregation, Not Manual Entry: While an EHR acts as a passive repository where clinicians manually type post-procedure notes, ASCEND actively pulls patient data, used inventory, medications, and event durations directly from your cath lab's monitoring hardware to build the report in real-time. 

The Power of Split-Timeline Logic: In complex cases where a diagnostic physician turns the patient over to an interventionist, general EHR systems often struggle to separate the charting cleanly. ASCEND automatically detects the change of physician via the hemodynamic log, split-populating independent, relevant reports for each phase of the case automatically. 

Zero-Loss Data Integrity: General healthcare documentation tools treat reports as flat text. ASCEND captures every single stenosis percentage, lesion length, and stent property as database-validated metrics. This ensures your clinical insights remain completely searchable within your Analytics database for quality audits and research.
