Joshua Joseph, MD, MPH, FAHA an expert in Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic (CKM) syndrome, associate professor of internal medicine, and the Endowed Professor for Research in Internal Medicine in the Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, explains the CKM advisory from the American Heart Association designed to help define and stage the disease. CKM has seen a large amount of growing interest from cardiologists in recent years.

Interest rising in CKM syndrome as connections become clearer

Cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome is a popular research topic among cardiologists, highlighting just how closely obesity, type 2 diabetes, chronic kidney disease and cardiovascular disease are related to one another. Joshua Joseph, MD, spoke to Cardiovascular Business about this ongoing trend.

Video interview with Allen Taylor, MD, chairman of cardiology at Medstar, who explains use of AI CCTA plaque analysis at Medstar to improve risk assessments.

AI software takes cardiac risk assessments to another level

Allen Taylor, MD, thinks AI-powered plaque evaluations can make a substantial impact on patient care. 

Interview with Alan Matsumoto, chair of American College of Radiology (ACR) Board, says Medicare physician payments are not sustainable, forcing many practices to consolidate with health systems or private equity owned companies.

Alan Matsumoto, MD, explains the pros and cons of consolidation under hospital system and private equity ownership.

Toby Rogers, MD, Medstar, discusses a new dedicated device for BASILICA used in TAVR.

New device could make it easier than ever for cardiologists to perform BASILICA before TAVR

Toby Rogers, MD, PhD, noted that BASILICA is a fairly complex procedure. Using this advanced technology, however, could make it easier to perform and improve patient access.

The American Heart Association (AHA) has launched a nationwide data-driven research competition to uncover how inflammation contributes to cardiovascular risk and how it is currently addressed in clinical practice. The initiative, called the Systemic Inflammation Data Challenge, invites data scientists, clinicians, and researchers to leverage advanced analytics and electronic medical record (EMR) data to better understand the impact of systemic inflammation on atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.

AHA data challenge explores links between inflammation and heart disease

Are care teams doing enough to take on inflammation? The American Heart Association hopes this new research initiative can help answer that question, and many others. 

Former American College of Cardiology (ACC) president Kim Allan Williams, Sr., MD, MACC, MASNC, FAHA, FESC, chair, department of medicine, University of Louisville School of Medicine, and an ACC delegate to the American Medical Association House of Delegates, discusses how cardiology should be focusing more on earlier prevention efforts in cardiology.

The power of prevention: Cardiologist says proactive patient care can make a big difference later in life

Former ACC president Kim Allan Williams Sr., MD, thinks cardiologists should be much more proactive. Encouraging healthy eating habits now, for example, can keep patients out of the hospital later in life and reduce healthcare spending.

Alan Matsumoto, MD, chairman of Board for the American College of Radiology, explains Medicare cuts over the past 20 years lowered physician payments 33% and they can no longer cover expenses. The "Big Beautiful Bill" helps addressing this, but fails to make up decades of cuts to physician pay.

ACR says Medicare physician payments are unsustainable, urges congressional action

Alan Matsumoto, MD, chair of the American College of Radiology board, discusses how cuts over the past 20 years have lowered physician payments 33%. 

Suman Tandon, MD, FASNC, a cardiac imager at St. Francis Hospital and Heart Center, in Rosyln, New York, and an American Society of Nuclear Cardiology (ASNC) representative to the American Medical Association (AMA) House of Delegates (HOD), explains ASNC’s call on Congress for to reduce prior authorization, appropriate use mandates and to make Medicare payment reforms.
