Mechanical thrombectomy beats anticoagulation alone in STORM-PE
Highly anticipated trial data comparing mechanical thrombectomy to anticoagulation alone for intermediate- and high-risk pulmonary embolism showed that the more aggressive strategy improved outcomes.
ACC raises red flags over telehealth, payment reform and the cardiologist shortage
"We need telehealth the way we had it for COVID," Cathie Biga told Cardiovascular Business at TCT 2025. "We don't want to go back to having it so restricted."
Key takeaways for interventional cardiology from TCT 2025
B. Hadley Wilson, MD, talked to Cardiovascular Business about several standout late-breaking clinical trials presented at TCT 2025. Topics of those trials included drug-coated balloons, TAVR valve durability, pulmonary embolism treatments and much more.

Nee Khoo, MBChB, director of the echocardiography lab at Canada's Stollery Children’s Hospital, explains the rapid adoption of pediatric 3D transesophageal echo.
Nuclear cardiology expands beyond perfusion imaging as it enters a new era
Beyond amyloidosis, nuclear cardiology is also increasingly used to image inflammation and infection in the myocardium, especially in diseases such as cardiac sarcoidosis and myocarditis.

Ismail El-Hamamsy, MD, PhD, director of aortic surgery for the Mount Sinai Health System, explains the long-term outcomes of the Ross procedure, where a diseased aortic valve is surgically replaced with the patient's own pulmonary valve.

Long-term data highlight Ross procedure's safety, effectiveness in younger patients

TAVR may get more attention, but the Ross procedure has also gained significant momentum in recent years. Ismail El-Hamamsy, MD, PhD, detailed his own team's success with the complex procedure.

David Magid, MD, MPH/MSPH, a professor of cardiology at the University of Colorado, explains attributing cardiac patient care to physicians in accountable care organizations.

Common methods for attributing cardiac care in ACOs may be falling short

As the United States continues to move toward quality-based care, ACOs need to rethink the way they attribute care to cardiologists and other members of the heart team.

As cancer therapies become increasingly targeted and complex, the need for sophisticated cardiovascular monitoring has grown in parallel. Cardiovascular Business spoke with Daniel Addison, MD, director of the cardio-oncology program at The Ohio State University and chair of the American Heart Association’s (AHA) Cardiac Imaging Committee, who said the use of multimodality imaging is transforming how clinicians manage cardiovascular risk in cancer patients and survivors.

Multimodality imaging is more important than ever to the field of cardio-oncology

“Multimodality imaging in cardio-oncology is something many of us in the field are truly excited about," Daniel Addison, MD, told Cardiovascular Business. He noted that modalities other than echocardiography are starting to play a much larger role in the treatment of these patients.

Lisa Miller, JD, former deputy assistant attorney general U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) Criminal Division, a former principal assistant deputy chief of the DOJ healthcare fraud unit, and now a partner in the legal firm Sidley Austin LLP, explains what the DOJ is looking for in Medicare fraud cases.

The co-chairs of the American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) 2025 meeting explain highlights from the in-person sonographer training sessions and focused sessions on difficult episodes of care.

ASE 2025 delivered a fully immersive experience for cardiovascular ultrasound professionals

The co-chairs of the American Society of Echocardiography's 2025 meeting wanted to "highlight the unique value of being in person." They looked back at the three-day event with Cardiovascular Business.

Jaime Warren, EdD, MBA, BHS, CNMT, NCT, FACC, vice president, care transformation, MedAxiom, an ACC company, explains some of the things centers should be thinking about when creating or expanding cardiac CT angiography (CCTA) programs.

How to take your CCTA program to the next level

Changing society guidelines and insurance policies have resulted in more interest in CCTA. To help your CCTA program expand, one expert told Cardiovascular Business, it is important to remember the close relationship between cardiology and radiology.

Martha Gulati, MD, MS, FACC, FAHA, FASPC, FESC, director of prevention, associate director, Barbra Streisand Women's Heart Center, Cedars-Sinai, and past president of the American Society for Preventive Cardiology (ASPC), was co-chair on a new joint scientific statement from the Heart Failure Society of America, and the ASPC on the need to boost prevention efforts for heart failure. She explains the new scientific statement that calls for greater prevention efforts in heart failure.

Putting more emphasis on prevention in heart failure care

Martha Gulati, MD, co-chair on a new joint scientific statement from the Heart Failure Society of America and the American Society for Preventive Cardiology, discusses the dire need she sees to boost prevention efforts for heart failure.

As the national physician shortage deepens, cardiology is feeling the strain—especially in rural America. Recruitment challenges are growing, and health systems are grappling with how to attract and retain cardiologists in remote locations. Michelle Wimberly, director of physician recruitment and retention at Cardiovascular Logistics (CVL), says the solution starts with relationships and a commitment to long-term engagement.

How to bring cardiologists to rural America during a physician shortage

As the national physician shortage deepens, cardiology is feeling the strain. Recruiting cardiologists can be hard enough—bringing them to rural America is especially challenging due to the risk of isolation and other concerns.
