Society of Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) President Srihari S. Naidu, MD, professor of medicine at New York Medical College, explains the SCAI initiative to improve outcomes in cardiogenic shock by monitoring and lowering patient lactate levels.

SCAI: To improve cardiogenic shock outcomes, reduce lactate levels

SCAI feels this is the best way forward to try lowering mortality rates, but the group is asking cardiologists to help by gathering more data. 

Drinking coffee may reduce risk of recurrent AFib

Physicians often tell AFib patients they should limit coffee consumption to protect their hearts. This new analysis, however, suggests that may not be necessary.

AI-enabled coronary plaque quantification outperforms traditional risk scores

Researchers used AI-enabled software developed by Cleerly to evaluate the CCTA results of more than 6,000 patients. The software was consistently effective, identifying patients who may face an increased risk of poor outcomes. 

Coronary calcium may predict a patient's risk of dying from noncardiac conditions

Calcium in the coronary arteries is a known cardiac risk factor. However, new data suggest it may actually tell us more about a person's overall health than researchers previously believed. 

 SCAI President Srihari S. Naidu, MD, professor of medicine at New York Medical College, explained some of the key payment issues interventional cardiologists are facing amid declining Medicare reimbursements.
