Cardiology Associations

This page includes news coverage of cardiology societies and associations. Follow these links for specific cardiology society news pages: American College of Cardiology (ACC), American Heart Association (AHA), American Society of Echocardiography (ASE), American Society Nuclear Cardiology (ASNC), European Society of Cardiology (ESC), Heart Rhythm Society (HRS), Society for Cardiovascular Angiography Interventions (SCAI), Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography (SCCT), Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT), and Vascular Interventional Advances (VIVA).

Cardiologists develop new AI screening tool for structural heart disease
Researchers have developed an advanced AI model capable of detecting signs of severe AS, mitral regurgitation and other complications in ECG results. For example, one 84-year-old patient who was hospitalized for a fractured femur ended up being scanned and treated with TAVR just days later.
World’s first polymeric TAVR valve impresses cardiologists—could improve durability, reduce costs
The new-look TAVR system was linked to multiple benefits after one year. The cardiologists evaluating this device belief it could significantly reduce the risk of long-term valve degeneration.
New AI-enabled heart failure implant shows early potential
The AI-powered Relief System is able to modulate venous pressure using hemodynamic data. The goal is to help patients better manage heart failure congestion at home.
Heart failure biomarker identifies long-term risk in T-TEER patients
NT-proBNP measurements are often used to diagnose and manage heart failure. According to a new study of more than 2,000 patients, they can also provide value to cardiologists performing T-TEER.
Cardiology groups to Trump administration: AI still has a long way to go
Multiple cardiology societies responded to an HHS request for public feedback by outlining some of the current barriers to wider AI adoption. "It is essential that any policy frameworks must reaffirm that clinicians—not algorithms—remain at the center of patient care," ACC President Christopher Kramer, MD, said.

The new-look TAVR system was linked to multiple benefits after one year. The cardiologists evaluating this device belief it could significantly reduce the risk of long-term valve degeneration.

The Relief System from Relief Cardiovascular Inc. is a first of its kind device. It incorporates a valve and sensor implant that uses AI to intelligently modulate venous pressure using hemodynamic data. The system actively adjusts flow in the inferior vena cava (IVC), which lowers venous pressure to drive durable decongestion in heart failure.

After traversing the aortic cusp with an electrified wire and balloon inflation, a stent is positioned inside the noncoronary cusp and deployed. Immediately after, a transcatheter aortic valve is expanded, and the stent is crushed on the left ventricular outflow tract wall and annulus, while anchored to the aortic valve leaflet.

Cardiologists perform first TAVR of its kind by anchoring valve to crushed stent

The patient, 78, presented with severe AR and no signs of calcification. She was considered a poor choice for surgery or traditional TAVR due to multiple risks. That is where the new-look ATLAS technique came in.

Did you make the list? CMS targets cardiologists for new heart failure payment model

More than 2,000 cardiologists are required to participate in the new payment model. According to CMS, the long-term goal is to track and reduce the high healthcare costs associated with treating heart failure.

SCAI celebrates new federal funding for PAD prevention

The group's hope is that these new funds will help address the rising rates of PAD and CLTI throughout the United States.
