The launch of the new site is another step in creating a lasting relationship with our patients, their families and care givers, said Ginger Graham, group chairman of Guidant Corp. in a press statement.
Our goal is to create a cardiovascular and vascular disease site, where both patients and doctors know they will find the most accurate and comprehensive information that helps them regain control of their lives and reclaim the life they love.
The site is designed to engage patients in their healthcare, provides users with a more comprehensive look at cardiovascular and vascular diseases and treatments.
Guidant’s newly designed Web-site caters to both patients and physicians with content created specifically for each audience and increased ease of navigation. A new Condition Compass guides patients and their family members through information written in language that allows them to better understand their condition and options for treatment. Success Stories, also targeted to patients, details the experiences of patients who have been successfully treated for cardiovascular or vascular disease. Condition Manager serves as a resource for physicians, providing information in treatment options.
