Medtronic and Philips Join Forces to Revolutionize Heart Disease Imaging in India

Medtronic and Philips have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding in India to train over 300 cardiologists and radiologists on advanced imaging techniques for structural heart diseases. This initiative aims to enhance diagnostic precision and patient outcomes, particularly for End-Stage Renal Disease patients, through specialized training and cutting-edge technology.

On February 27, 2025, Medtronic and Philips signed a Memorandum of Understanding in Gurgaon, India. This alliance aims to train more than 300 cardiologists and radiologists on advanced imaging techniques for structural heart diseases.

The initiative focuses on multi-modality imaging like echocardiography and MRI, particularly benefiting End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) patients. Training will be conducted through both didactic sessions and hands-on experience, utilizing Philips' state-of-the-art ultrasound and MRI systems under expert supervision.

This partnership addresses the growing incidence of ESRD in India by equipping clinicians with innovative imaging solutions to improve the precision of procedures like Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI), enhancing overall patient care and outcomes.
