New technology helps Archbold treat heart disease Archbold Memorial Hospital’s Loudermilk Heart and Vascular Center re- cently completed a renovation in the hospital’s cardiac catheterization lab, as well as installation of new cardiac imaging and treatment technology. Upgrades to the lab included installation of large touchscreen moni- tors, new measurement tools and safety equipment, as well as updated floor and ceiling aesthetics and new lighting equipment. At the heart of the newly configured lab is the Innova™ IGS 520, a floor-mounted, image- guided system that Archbold’s three interventional cardiologists will use for minimally invasive testing and to diagnose and treat cardiovascular disease during cardiac catheterization procedures.
