Will AI replace cardiologists?
AI-based tools are here to stay, but one expert does not see them replacing cardiologists anytime soon. Look at recent trends in radiology, he says, to get a better idea of what cardiology's future may look like.

Robert Califf offers a dismal report card for the US healthcare system but offers solutions

Former FDA commissioner warns that US healthcare system is falling behind

Robert Califf, MD, MACC, a veteran cardiologist, delivered the keynote speech at SCCT 2026 and then spoke to Cardiovascular Business about where the country's healthcare system is headed.

Healthcare organizations have unprecedented access to clinical and operational data, but that abundance of information can become a liability if leaders lose sight of what those metrics are intended to accomplish, explained Joel Sauer, MBA, executive vice president of consulting at MedAxiom, an American College of Cardiology (ACC) company.

Why cardiology leaders should be careful about the quality metrics they focus on

"Data should simply be a measure of a broader organizational objective," one expert explained. "When the data becomes the goal, that's where organizations can get into trouble."

Roderick Tung, MD, FACC, FHRS, tenured professor of medicine, chief of cardiology, University of Arizona College of Medicine, director, Banner Heart Institute, explained new technology opportunities in ventricular ablation.

Exploring key breakthroughs in VT ablation

Today's sophisticated mapping systems allow clinicians to visualize VT circuits with unprecedented detail.

Cardioneural ablation provides a new treatment option for vasovagal syncope

The procedure is designed to help patients who experience frequent fainting episodes that impair their quality of life.

Robert Harris, PhD, a machine learning engineer at Virtual Radiologic (vRad), outlined his team's work developing and evaluating a generative chest X-ray machine learning model for use within one of the nation's largest teleradiology practices.

Generative AI chest X-ray models offer new approach to radiology reporting and quality improvement

While the technology remains investigational in many practices, researchers say it has the potential to improve diagnostic accuracy, streamline AI development and strengthen radiology quality assurance.

Damini Dey, PhD, FSCCT, a professor of biomedical sciences, co-associate director of the Biomedical Imaging Research Institute, and director of the quantitative image analysis program at Cedars-Sinai, explains how artificial intelligence (AI) is impacting cardiovascular imaging without most people realizing.

AI is transforming cardiac imaging—often in ways clinicians do not recognize

AI impacts care in so many ways now that it often goes unnoticed by clinicians.

Derek Pineda, FNP, CCRN, RCIS, FACC, with Mount Sinai Fuster Heart Hospital, explains the use of a digital app platform for STEMI team coordination that helped his health system improve STEMI outcomes.

New digital platform gets clinicians on the same page when treating heart attacks

One of the platform's biggest benefits is the rich clinical information it provides to all members of the care team.

Medaxiom CEO Jerry Blackwell, MD, explains the role of private equity in cardiology and that it is a small player in cardiology practice ownership.

Private equity unlikely to dominate cardiology despite hype

Medaxiom CEO Jerry Blackwell, MD, MBA, FACC, discusses investor's interest in buying cardiology practices, noting that PE ownership remains relatively low.
