New ACC/AHA/SCAI guidance highlights training requirements for interventional cardiologists

The document, which was designed to help guide both interventional cardiology trainees and program directors, was also endorsed by several other industry societies. 

The increased use of implantable loop recorders (ILRs) is associated with identifying more bradyarrhythmias such as bradycardia, according to new findings published in JAMA Cardiology.

Increased AFib screening improves bradyarrhythmia detection—but is it a mixed blessing?

When long-term continuous monitoring detects bradyarrhythmia in an asymptomatic patient, is it still providing value? 

Bertram Pitt, MD, a professor of medicine emeritus at the University of Michigan School of Medicine, explains the role of sodium–glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors for heart failure (HF). Initially developed to treat diabetes, these drugs have been shown to improve HF outcomes in HF in several large, randomized trials over the past few years, including SOLOIST-WHF, DAPA-HF, EMPEROR-Preserved, and the DELIVER trials. The positive results earned their inclusion in the 2022 AHA/ACC/HFSA Guideline for

What clinical research tells us about sotagliflozin and heart failure

Some SGLT2 inhibitors have been linked to significant improvements in HF outcomes, but what about sotagliflozin? We spoke with Bertram Pitt, MD, to learn more.

AHA President Michelle Albert explains what can be done to boost healthcare equity and diversity in cardiology.

AHA President Michelle Albert on addressing health equity issues in cardiology

American Heart Association President Michelle Albert, MD, talked to us about about how to address health inequities in cardiology departments.

ACC urges all interventional cardiologists to use intravascular imaging during PCI

New recommendations from the American College of Cardiology detail how intravascular imaging can help clinicians before, during and after PCI procedures. 

Ed Nicol, MD, consultant cardiologist and honorary senior clinical lecturer with Kings College London and president-elect of the Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography (SCCT), explained artificial intelligence (AI) in cardiac CT is here to stay and its use is expanding. He noted that one AI-based algorithm is already included in recent cardiology guidelines and more will likely follow. #SCCT

Cardiac imagers need to understand AI as it enters clinical use and ACC guidelines

Most FDA-cleared AI algorithms are related to radiology and cardiology, meaning radiologists and cardiologists need to make an effort to learn how these technologies work.

Yes, COVID-19 increases a person’s diabetes risk—but vaccination may help

Patients who are vaccinated at the time of their COVID-19 diagnosis appear to face a lower risk of new-onset type 2 diabetes than patients who are not vaccinated.

Radiologists among 100-plus physician groups urging CMS to take swift action on prior authorization

The American Society of Neuroradiology and Society of Interventional Radiology want the agency to bust what they say is a burdensome barrier to imaging and other crucial aspects of U.S. medicine.
