“The highest quality of cardiovascular imaging matters because it helps us more accurately diagnose a patient’s heart condition,” says Virtua cardiologist Mark Finch, MD, FACC. “From there, we can establish the best possible care pathway, whether that’s medication, lifestyle modification, or medical intervention. The more information we’re able to analyze, the better our patient outcomes can become. That’s why we’re excited to add these innovative GE HealthCare systems to our facility and help improve quality of life for those we care for.”
