This channel includes news on cardiovascular care delivery, including how patients are diagnosed and treated, cardiac care guidelines, policies or legislation impacting patient care, device recalls that may impact patient care, and cardiology practice management.
Compensation for heart specialists continues to climb. What does this say about cardiology as a whole? Could private equity's rising influence bring about change? We spoke to MedAxiom CEO Jerry Blackwell, MD, MBA, a veteran cardiologist himself, to learn more.
It’s been years since AI proponents started promising big returns on healthcare providers’ investments in the technology. The results have yet to catch up with the pitches. What’s the holdup?
SCAI celebrated cardiologists William W. O'Neill, MD, and Cindy L. Grines, MD, for the important roles they played in the development of primary PCI. “It was challenging,” Grines explained. “We had the pharmaceutical industry that was anti-primary angioplasty and we had a lot of our own colleagues that were anti-primary angioplasty."
Self-expanding and balloon-expandable TAVR valves are associated with comparable success rates and one-year outcomes when treating type 1 bicuspid aortic stenosis. However, each valve type comes with its own advantages and disadvantages.
Querying 55 thought leaders behind closed doors, the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered AI has found only 12% believe healthcare AI should always have a human in the loop.
Care teams are always looking for new ways to limit the use of permanent pacemakers after TAVR. Could starting patients off with temporary devices be an answer?
When it comes to adopting healthcare AI, large, well-off hospitals are likely to frequently homer while smaller, struggling institutions go down looking. (Baseball analogy in honor of tonight’s Midsummer Classic.)
Researchers explored more than 100,000 online reviews, using AI to learn as much as possible about what drives patients to give their cardiologist a positive or negative rating.
