Cardiovascular Catherization and Structural Heart
The Ultimate Interventional Ecosystem
Faster, More Accurate Diagnostic Decisions
The ASCEND CATH module aggregates massive streams of live data from your EHR, hemodynamic monitoring devices, and imaging systems to draft complete, interventional narratives
Seamless Clinical Reporting Across Every Interventional Phase
Faster, More Accurate Diagnostic Decisions
The ASCEND CATH module aggregates massive streams of live data from your EHR, hemodynamic monitoring devices, and imaging systems to draft complete, interventional narratives

Multi-Phase Stress Tables

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

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 dataand physio from all major hemodynamic monitoring systems into final results.
-
Dual Physician Support: Natural support cases with separate diagnostic and interventional phases
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.
Operational Impact
Others
Generic CVIS Modules
Hemodynamic Integration
Lack full, data-level hemo integration.
"Reporting by Exception" and findings carry forward, along wiht interactive picklists clinical narritivies in a few clicks
Physician Workflow
Relies on generic note templates and heavy text typing to capture custom interventions.
Autonomously aggregates and merges complex patient statistics and technical measurements directly from ultrasound modalities and PACS.
Interventional Adaptability
Text-bound or rigid chronological structures that cannot capture branching variations or lesion locations visually.
Employs interactive visual mapping with specialized diagrams to instantly plot lesions, collaterals, and prior interventions.
Structural Heart Support
Rigid chronological structures that are difficult to alter once data is initially captured.
Native, data-driven forms engineered to ensure clinical reporting strictly aligns out-of-the-box with IAC accreditation guidelines.
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.
