At ASL Roma 6 a vest that detects arrhythmias is used

The first patient was treated at the combined hospitals of Anzio-Nettuno

ROME – Excellence meets innovation in the field of cardiovascular diagnostics at the Ospedali Riuniti of Anzio-Nettuno where the Uoc director of Cardiology, Natale Di Belardino, and his Electrophysiology team used for the first time the new totally non-invasive Medtronic system for the diagnosis of irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias). “Another record for ASL Roma 6 – we read in a note – which in recent times has increasingly become a reference model in corporate healthcare management”.

The device was used by the Electrophysiology team for two patients suffering from frequent and complex ventricular extrasystole and allowed a diagnosis to be made in a totally non-invasive way and the best clinical strategy to be defined, in line with the principles of correct therapeutic appropriateness . A vest equipped with 252 sensors which, when worn by the patient, is able to provide 3D mapping of the heart in real time, even with a single beat. The traditional diagnostic test involves an invasive approach that requires the insertion of a tube into the heart, via an artery or vein, in order to identify the origin of irregular heart rhythms. Thanks to the innovative mapping system of heart rhythm disorders it is possible to carry out a diagnosis in a totally non-invasive way, without the introduction of catheters inside the atria and ventricles, therefore suitable for everyone and at any age. It is therefore now available at the Ospedali Riuniti of Anzio-Nettuno “to carry out this test in peace, providing important information about the origin of a cardiac arrhythmia, facilitating the diagnosis of complex arrhythmic forms and the most appropriate therapeutic choice”.< /p>
