We asked readers to nominate individuals who are already making a major impact on the world of cardiovascular health at a young age. We wanted to hear about your best, your brightest, your most radical thinkers; the people who are never satisfied by something being “good enough” or “how it’s always been done.” 

Contrary to popular misgivings, AI may be improving the human touch in healthcare. 

The National Academy of Medicine considers some pertinent ins and outs of GenAI. 

TAVR is being used in more patients to treat severe aortic stenosis. However, according to a new commentary piece, SAVR is still the smartest treatment option for certain populations, including younger patients with bicuspid aortic valves.

Older heart failure patients with no immediate family are especially vulnerable. Additional interventions may be necessary to reach these patients and provide the best care possible.

The Department of Health and Human Services is looking to replace lab animals with AI models. Even more bullish on AI is the new boss at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. 

GenAI initiatives are complex and—in some cases—costly. “As such, the main rationale for pursuing them needs to be business growth, not workforce reductions.” 

The authors of the survey report note that AI tools mentioned by respondents run the gamut from automated appointment reminders to dynamic “care gap” messaging.
