Echocardiography & Non-Invasive Vascular
A Complete Solution for Echo and Vascular Labs
Faster, More Accurate Diagnostic Decisions
Accelerate your workflow with a unified, high-performance reporting interface designed for both Echocardiography and Noninvasive Vascular workflows. From standard TTEs, TEEs and complex structural heart to comprehensive arterial and venous imaging, ASCEND delivers the speed, structured data accuracy, and regulatory compliance your laboratory demands.
Maximize Lab Efficiency Through Automation
The Echo and Vascular modules eliminate clinical bottlenecks by utilizing an intelligent, data-driven framework. By integrating directly with your ultrasound modalities and enterprise PACS, ASCEND automatically aggregates patient information and measurements, letting you finalize reports in a fraction of the time.
Faster, More Accurate Diagnostic Decisions
Seamless Clinical Reporting Across Every Interventional Phase
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.

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.
Key Capabilities:
-
Reporting by Exception: Start your reports from normal templates configured to your lab's baseline preferences. Click to add modifications only where pathology is present.
-
Intelligent Picklists & Checkboxes: Utilize multi-select picklists and rapid-toggle checkboxes to instantly draft high-fidelity sentences regarding valvular function, cavity size, and wall motion abnormalities.
-
Dynamic Flow & Artery Tables: Access structured data entries for detailed artery, vein, and graft findings. Artery and vein flow data populate directly into clear, readable tables.
-
Interactive Visual Mapping: Review detailed vascular anatomy with specialized diagrams allowing clinicians to instantly map lesions, collaterals, and prior interventions.
-
Preconfigured templates: Suggested interpretations based on imported measurement data and ASE guidelines.
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.
-
Flexible carry-forward: Extensive arterial and venous mapping: Artery and vein flow data populate directly into clear, readable tables.
Unified Stress and Imaging Lifecycles
Specialized Imaging Demands Specialized Technology:
Cardiology is an enterprise within the enterprise - a highly specialized domain that requires solutions purpose-built to satisfy unique clinical workflows and data requirements. Enterprise EHR systems are excellent for encounter notes, but lack the nuanced content required in non-invasive cardiology. They force physician readers to accept a lowest common denominator in domain content, ease-of-use, device and image integration and automation.
Cardiology should never have to compromise by adapting its specialized knowledge and workflow to a “good enough” enterprise platform, but should rely on best of breed, high-performance tools that cardiologists can use to deliver optimal efficiency and the report accuracy needed for the best patient care.
Operational Impact
Generic CVIS Modules
The ASCEND Difference
Workflow Efficiency
Build from generic note templates poorly suited to efficiently capture the full spectrum of cardiac anatomy and pathology
"Reporting by Exception" and findings carry forward, along wiht interactive picklists clinical narritivies in a few clicks
Data Automation
Relies on basic static data transfers, requiring manual entry or tedious device mapping of complex measurement datasets
Autonomously aggregates and merges complex patient statistics and technical measurements directly from ultrasound modalities and PACS.
Vascular Mapping & Detail
Text-bound or rigid chronological structures that cannot capture branching variations or lesion locations visually.
Interactive visual support with specialized diagrams to instantly plot lesions, collaterals, and prior interventions.
Accreditation & Compliance
Requires custom workarounds or multi-screen documentation steps to fulfil strict reporting metrics.
Clinical reporting aligns out-of-the-box with IAC accreditation guidelines.
Experience the ASCEND Advantage
Cardiology Without Compromise
Generic encounter documentation tools create rigid text. ASCEND captures every single report element as discrete data, normalized to the world’s most comprehensive, multimodality cardiovascular schema., This keeps all clinical insights fully searchable for case finding (clinical cohort identification, usually by disease state), quality audits and clinical research. The benefits of this clinical data will only compound as we enter the AI era in cardiovascular care.
Avoid the Initial Cost Trap
There are long-term penalties of generic reporting solutions. ASCEND maximizes procedure throughput and improves report quality while reducing physician documentation time, and preserves the data integrity that will rapidly come paramount as cardiology evolves.
