William P. Shutze, MD, FACS, secretary of the Society of Vascular Surgery (SVS), a vascular surgeon with Texas Vascular Associates in Plano, Texas, and a clinical associate professor of medicine at Texas A&M College of Medicine, explained the role of vascular surgeons in peripheral artery disease (PAD) and critical limb ischemia (CLI).

Getting vascular surgeons more involved leads to key improvements for PAD patients

Vascular surgeons perform procedures interventional cardiologists and interventional radiologists do not do—so why not make sure they are part of every heart team conversation?

Radiologist Michael Morris, MD, radiologist and director of cardiac CT and MRI at Banner Health, explains how cardiac radiology imaging is moving toward expanded use of fractional flow reserve CT (FFR-CT) and artificial intelligence analysis of coronary CT angiography (CCTA) exams as a standard of care. He spoke to Radiology Business during RSNA 2025.

Radiology embraces FFR-CT and AI plaque analysis as cardiac imaging evolves

The specialty is moving toward expanded use of fractional flow reserve CT and AI analysis of coronary CT angiography exams as a standard of care.

Workflow efficiencies and automation enhance newer cardiovascular IT systems

9 ways cardiovascular IT systems can improve your day-to-day workflow

Bringing in a new and improved cardiovascular IT system can save physicians a ton of time and lead to considerable cost savings.

Video interview with Anders Gilberg, MGA, senior vice president, government affairs at Medical Group Management Association (MGMA), explains various value-based payment models the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is experimenting with, but notes out or more than 30 models, only two have actually saved Medicare money.

MGMA outlines path and pitfalls in CMS 2030 value-based care push

The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) has tested nearly 40 APMs, of which only two turned out to be successful, which does not bode well for meeting a 2030 deadline to transition to value-based payments.
 

Afnan Tariq, MD, JD, FSCAI, FACC, an interventional cardiologist, assistant clinical professor of medicine at University of California, Irvine, presented first-in-man data on a passive, device-agnostic artificial intelligence (AI) platform for heart failure monitoring using consumer wearables at the recent Technology and Heart Failure Therapeutics (THT) 2026 meeting. The study showed the AI could help lower repeat hospitalizations.

AI turns wearable device data into actionable insights for heart failure patients

Afnan Tariq, MD, discusses early data on a passive, device-agnostic AI platform for heart failure monitoring. “When clinicians are empowered with insights and able to act earlier, you're able to have a durable impact," he said.

Radiology AI vendors shift focus to workflow integration and enterprise value

AI in medical imaging market analyst Umar Ahmed from Signify Research explains some of the key trends seen in radiology artificial intelligence. 

The Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) is urging federal policymakers to ensure physicians play a central role in guiding the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into clinical care, while also raising questions about liability as the technology expands across healthcare.

AI is transforming patient care—and cardiologists have a critical role to play

While the Trump administration is pushing to accelerate clinical AI adoption, SCAI has emphasized that physicians must guide how the technology is implemented and governed.

Anders Gilberg, senior vice president, government affairs at Medical Group Management Association (MGMA), explains numerous changes in federal healthcare policy since the start of 2026, including extending telehealth, rural health payments, possible solutions to prior authorization burden in Medicare Advantage.
