AI is transforming cardiac imaging—often in ways clinicians do not recognize
AI impacts care in so many ways now that it often goes unnoticed by clinicians.
TAVR with Edwards Lifesciences valve for severe AR linked to ‘encouraging’ data
All patients presented with severe aortic regurgitation. The study's findings were presented at New York Valves 2026 and published in JSCAI.
Chest pain drug lowers risk of kidney injury after PCI
Treating certain high-risk PCI patients with nicorandil before and after treatment can significantly reduce their risk of contrast-related injuries.
New digital platform gets clinicians on the same page when treating heart attacks
One of the platform's biggest benefits is the rich clinical information it provides to all members of the care team.
Sex-specific outcomes after TAVR and SAVR: Key takeaways from a new meta-analysis
TAVR was associated with early benefits for women. After five years, however, outcomes were comparable across the board.

A majority of medical devices involved in Class I recalls were never required by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to undergo premarket or postmarket clinical testing, according to new research published in Annals of Internal Medicine.[1]

Cardiologists are first in world to use new leaflet-splitting technique during TAVR

Performing TAVR on a patient with bicuspid AS can be challenging. Transcatheter aortic root tricuspidization may represent a new treatment strategy for these patients, according to a new first-in-human trial.

Video: Samuel Jones, MD, MPH, FACC, director of Inpatient Electrophysiology at the Memorial Hospital for Chattanooga Heart Institute, and co-chair of the American College of Cardiology (ACC) and Heart Rhythm Society (HRS) guidance For electrophysiology ablation in ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs), explains the details of this shift in cardiology care delivery.

Key points to remember when performing cardiac ablations in ASCs

When CMS finalized coverage for cardiac ablations performed in ASCs, experts from HRS and ACC published recommendations for performing those procedures safely and effectively. One of the cardiologists behind that guidance shared some important takeaways with Cardiovascular Business.

Is TAVR too common among younger patients? New data prompt a ‘call to action’

Experts agree that most patients younger than 65 should be treated with surgery instead of TAVR. According to a new real-world analysis, however, more and more of these patients are undergoing TAVR.

The WhiteSwell eLym catheter-based device for lymphatic drainage in acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) patients.

First-of-its-kind drainage device helps limit heart failure rehospitalizations

This new catheter-based device for lymphatic drainage showed early potential to be an effective treatment option for acute decompensated heart failure.

SCAI is inviting younger female interventional cardiologists and fellows within five years of training to participate in the WONDER (Women Exposed to Occupational Doses of Radiation) study.

SCAI seeks female interventional cardiologists for radiation risk study

Concerns about radiation are believed to be a major reason so few women pursue a career in interventional cardiology. Are they right to be worried? SCAI hopes its new analysis can shed some light on this topic.

Boston Scientific's Seismiq 4CE Coronary IVL Catheter

New coronary IVL tech from Boston Scientific impresses in first-in-human study

The company's Seismiq platform has already gained FDA approval for treating PAD. This new analysis highlights its potential to treat calcified coronary lesions during PCI procedures.

American Society of Nuclear Cardiology (ASNC) Jamieson Bourque, MD, MHS, FASNC, a professor and the director of nuclear cardiology at the University of Virginia, explains the key federal policies impacting cardiology that were discussed with lawmakers on Capital Hill last week.

ASNC speaks to policymakers about prior authorization, Medicare cuts and more

The American Society of Nuclear Cardiology visited Capitol Hill to advocate for a variety of issues. Cardiovascular Business spoke to the group's president to learn more.

Harold Litt named new editor of RSNA's cardiothoracic imaging journal

Litt, a leading name in the fields of radiology and cardiology, has been with the journal since it was first launched in 2019.
