Chatham-Kent Health Alliance officials have made a heart happy announcement ahead of Valentine’s Day.
Two new ECG (electrocardiogram) stress testing systems have been installed in the diagnostic imaging department.
According to a media release, the new systems are “integral” to the CKHA’s Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) clinic and they also service patients who are referred for nuclear medicine stress testing.
They replace two outdated systems at the end of their operational lifecycle.
“CKHA’s modernized ECG stress testing systems provide enhanced accuracy, real-time monitoring, user-friendly interfaces and integration into the department’s digital workflow, improving early detection and management of cardiovascular conditions,” said Melissa Johnson, interim vice president, performance and chief financial officer, CKHA.
The purchase of this critical equipment was funded through the CKHA Foundation, made possible by the foundation’s supporters. Recent fundraising campaigns, such as the Christmas Wish Tree effort, raised a total of $158,540.
