Chinese Medical Association join forces to promote GE, cardiac imaging development in China

Cardiovascular disease morbidity, disability rates and mortality rates have been ranked first in all kinds of disease, has become the century affect human health is one of the major diseases.

As China's economic level of rapid development, people's living standards improve rapidly, the threat of cardiovascular diseases in China are increasingly prominent.

"In order to further promote the clinical cardiology and cardiovascular imaging knowledge and clinical skills, Chinese society of cardiovascular disease Sub-Council and GE company jointly launched a cardiologist cardiovascular imaging of promotional and training programme (hereinafter referred to as VISION projects).

The project has been classified as a branch of Chinese society of cardiovascular disease by 2010 as one of the five key projects. "Chinese society of cardiovascular diseases, Chairman Hu DaYi Professor explains.

It Fudan University Professor GE are wave, in recent years, cardiovascular imaging technology is advancing rapidly, CT and MR competing shenghui, ultrasound, and nuclear medicine true worth.

Cardiology doctor on this regard greatly needs, making it in clinical practice can follow-up and implementation of new technologies in Imaging, full use of modern means of improving the medical imaging of the cardiovascular disease diagnosis.

Cardiac imaging---the urgency of development in China

GE is Professor says, "cardiovascular imaging is cardiovascular disease diagnosis of one of the important means, but it is also the most rapid development in the heart of one of the areas, it is the heart of two-dimensional imaging to the development of three-dimensional imaging.

From concerns about the diagnosis of ischemic myocardium to concern the development of the assessment of myocardial viability; from concern macrovascular disease coronary microcirculation to concern the extent of change and development; from concern about cardiac structure and function to the focus on the development of cardiac muscle movement coordination. ”

Fuwai cardiovascular hospital Prof. Zhao, Paul, "cardiac imaging technology is advancing rapidly, to heart disease diagnosis and treatment assessment provides richer means.

Cardiac imaging has developed into a variety of imaging technology will gradually integrate clinical questions, resolve and ultimately provide the answer to the clinician in a new subject. This discipline requires a different domain experts reached a broad consensus, and to carry out more in-depth research, and still need to make today's increasingly powerful imaging capabilities for the benefit of patients with cardiovascular disease. ”

Cardiac imaging---there are steps, there are plans to promote

China people's Liberation Amy hospital Miss Dai professor said: in the Chinese Medical Association National continuing medical education textbook writing Committee lead by GE corporation organized including Hu DaYi, GE is Professor and Professor Zhao, Paul, etc in the area of cardiovascular and Interventional Radiology, renowned experts prepared a present for saleable cardiovascular radiology textbooks.

Book description including the preliminary concept of cardiovascular imaging; the principle, Cardiovascular CT indications and radiation dose; echocardiography principle and application; the principle, Cardiac MRI indications and contraindications; SPECT and PET theory, imaging and radiation safety; cardiac stress test the principle, indications and contraindications; cardiovascular imaging application and complement each other; evaluation of cardiac function; contrast-induced nephropathy; Imaging diagnosis of coronary artery disease: a clinical assessment; myocardial infarction globally harmonized definition and image diagnosis; coronary heart disease risk stratification; assessment of myocardial viability; pulmonary embolism Imaging diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension clinical evaluation; imaging and secondary hypertension Imaging diagnosis, etc.

Shengjing affiliated hospital of China Medical subsidiary Pong man jump, added: this book aims to introduce cardiovascular imaging medical aspects of the latest advances in technology and clinical applications, the book's writing style is relatively free, let the experts fully elaborated methods and technical development and not stick to format or genre, suitable as a clinical cardiovascular physicians daily learning and lookup reference tool.

As of this writing, the main leading person Hu DaYi Professor in particular that: "the GE company in cooperation with the Chinese Medical Association jointly launched the cardiovascular imaging materials, will be China's first monograph in cardiovascular imaging professional guide books, this is a very significant practical work, is bound to my cardiovascular disease diagnostic level.

”

Cardiac imaging----required community concerns

Hu DaYi Professor finally concludes: VISION project is designed to help national local hospitals to master basic cardiovascular imaging technologies and applications, thereby increasing the level of diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, achieving healthy communities, healthy cities, healthy China, healthy Chinese harmonious social objectives.
