Key takeaways from the ACC 2023 annual meeting

ACC.23 Program Chair Doug Drachman, MD, explains what he saw as some of the key takeaways from the American College of Cardiology (ACC) 2023 annual meeting.

Sahil Parikh explains the tread of cardiology departments treating critical limb ischemia (CLI) at AHA 2022.

Interventional cardiology's role in treating CLI continues to evolve

Sahil Parikh, MD, talked to Cardiovascular Business about growing trends related to the treatment of critical lower limb ischemia. "We are getting better and better at saving their limbs, but we are not better at saving their lives," he said. 

Incoming 2023-2024 American College of Cardiology (ACC) president Hadley Wilson, MD, shares insights on how to create health equity through both ACC programs and hospital grassroots community outreach programs. He outlines four programs his heart hospital is piloting in its community in Charlotte, North Carolina.

How cardiologists can address health disparities in their communities

Incoming 2023-2024 American College of Cardiology president Hadley Wilson, MD, shared insights on how to create health equity through grassroots community outreach programs.

Sahil A. Parikh, MD, Director of Endovascular Services at Columbia University Irving Medical Center and Associate Professor of Medicine at the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, explained the growing trend or interventional cardiologists treating PAD and CLI. He shares what he thinks is important for cardiology departments to know before expanding expanding their programs in this space.

What do interventional cardiologists need to treat PAD and CLI?

Sahil Parikh, MD, director of endovascular services at Columbia University Irving Medical Center, said treating these patients can be quite challenging. 

Bertram Pitt, MD, a professor of medicine emeritus at the University of Michigan School of Medicine, explains the role of sodium–glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors for heart failure (HF). Initially developed to treat diabetes, these drugs have been shown to improve HF outcomes in HF in several large, randomized trials over the past few years, including SOLOIST-WHF, DAPA-HF, EMPEROR-Preserved, and the DELIVER trials. The positive results earned their inclusion in the 2022 AHA/ACC/HFSA Guideline for

What clinical research tells us about sotagliflozin and heart failure

Some SGLT2 inhibitors have been linked to significant improvements in HF outcomes, but what about sotagliflozin? We spoke with Bertram Pitt, MD, to learn more.

A team of cardiologists from Cleveland Clinic and Stanford University recently tested ChatGPT, the popular artificial intelligence (AI) model, to see if it could accurately answer questions about preventive cardiology and cardiovascular disease. The model performed well, only missing a handful of questions, and the researchers concluded that ChatGPT showed considerable potential. Cleveland Clinic cardiologist Ashish Sarraju, MD, was the lead author of that study. #ChartGPT

ChatGPT and cardiology: A close look at the strengths and weaknesses of AI chatbots

Ashish Sarraju, MD, a cardiologist with Cleveland Clinic, discussed his recent research on ChatGPT, its potential to change patient care and more. 

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into radiology PACS and enterprise imaging systems has become a big topic of discussion with IT vendors over the past couple years. This has become a bigger question from hospitals and radiology groups as there are now about 400 radiology related AI algorithms that have U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance. Amy Thompson, a senior analyst at Signify Research, is monitoring AI trends in radiology and discusses trends.

Trends in the adoption and integration of AI into radiology workflows

Amy Thompson, a senior analyst at Signify Research, explains why AI adoption has been slow in radiology, common barriers and trends in the market.
