Heart Core B.V. deploys HeartLab's CardioNow

Heartlab Inc. has completed its first European core lab installation of HeartLab's CardioNow DICOM telecardiology and image management system for cardiovascular device and drug studies at Heart Core B.V. in the Netherlands.

Heart Core B.V. will now be able to offer its clients HeartLab's web-based CardioNow system to improve the receiving, tracking, archiving and analysis of cardiac images from hospital sites around the world. CardioNow enables hospitals investigator sites around the world to share DICOM studies required by certain cardiovascular drug and device clinical trials, HeartLab said.

The installation is the fifth cardiovascular core lab to utilize HeartLab's web-based system for trial image management.
