A new cardiac unit was required by East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust to care for around 1,500 people each year and dramatically reduce waiting times for patients.

Specialist cardiac diagnostic procedures were previously carried out either in London or in an ageing mobile unit that visited the hospital once a week. A new £2.3m cardiac suite, to quadruple patient capacity, comprises the latest in medical scanning technology including a full catheterisation laboratory and control room, associated treatment rooms, 9-bay recovery ward, reception area and staff facilities.

A Trend IQ3 BMS has been installed complete with 963 Supervisor and graphics. The scheme comprises a mix of low temperature hot water plant, air handling units, and air conditioning controls.
