Hospitals still struggling to reach pre-COVID heart attack care thresholds due to pandemic disruption

NCDR report finds hospitals are seeing improvements but are still struggling to reach pre-COVID treatment thresholds years after pandemic precautions upended longstanding processes.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is being developed to help make cardiovascular clinical trials more efficient, lead to faster advances in patient care, and bring possible new treatments to heart patients more quickly. The major cardiac research center of Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai announced today that it signed a memorandum of understanding with the Chiba Institute of Technology (CIT) to collaborate on using AI to enhance cardiovascular disease research.
