Reimbursement challenges raising concerns in cardiology

Cathie Biga, vice president of the American College of Cardiology, spoke to Cardiovascular Business at ACC.23 about challenges in the world of cardiology reimbursements. "As that healthcare dollar goes up, it is not going to the physicians," she said.

Why women with peripheral artery disease are underdiagnosed, have worse outcomes

Using the World Health Organization’s model for analyzing gender-related healthcare needs, the authors of a new analysis aimed to explore disparities in PAD outcomes.

Example of an FFR-angio image-derived hemodynamic flow model performed tableside in the cath lab reconstructed using three different C-arm contract image acquisitions. This technology from CathWorks, which was recently acquired by Medtronic, can eliminate the need for pressure wires and adenosine to assess FFR pressures. These measurements are used to determine the hemodynamic significance of a stenosis and determine if a stent is necessary or if a patient can be treated medically.

Steven Nissen, MD, chief academic officer of the Heart, Vascular and Thoracic Institute, Cleveland Clinic, explains the details from the late-breaking CLEAR Outcomes trial presented at the 2023 American College of Cardiology (ACC) meeting found bempedoic acid can be used in statin-intolerant patients to reduce low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels. #ACC #ACC23 Nexletol

CLEAR Outcomes trial shows statin-intolerant patients benefit from bempedoic acid

Steven Nissen, MD, spoke with Cardiovascular Business at ACC.23 about the late-breaking CLEAR Outcomes trial.

Advanced imaging does not always improve outcomes, data suggest

Although advanced imaging exams have proven benefits in defining disease severity, new data indicate that more sophisticated studies might not impact outcomes as much as previously thought. 

Paul Sorajja, MD, director, Center for Valve and Structural Heart Disease, Minneapolis Heart Institute, Abbott Northwestern Hospital, was the principal investigator for the late-breaking TRILUMINATE pivotal trial at the American College of Cardiology (ACC) 2023 meeting and explains details of this landmark trial. #ACC #ACC23 #triluminate

TRILUMINATE trial may pave the way for FDA clearance for tricuspid valve clip device

Paul Sorajja, MD, discusses the late-breaking TRILUMINATE pivotal trial at ACC.23 and how tricuspid TEER performed against the current standard of care using medical therapy.

Long-term fasting improves heart-related outcomes for at-risk COVID-19 patients

New research presented at the American College of Cardiology’s annual meeting has shown that long-term intermittent fasting improved outcomes for individuals with COVID-19 who also have a history of heart disease.
