Laxmi Mehta, MD, detailed several ways she and her colleagues at The Ohio State University are working to combat the rising levels of burnout among cardiologists.

CCTA continues to grow more and more important in the day-to-day treatment of heart patients. Hospitals and health systems that fail to embrace the modality risk falling behind.

Hospitals that partner with either company will now experience the benefits of both, learning more about the long-term heart health of their patients than ever before.

The ACC, AHA, HFSA, HRS and SCAI all worked together to try and make the new board a reality. Though their proposal has been denied, the groups say they are not done fighting. 

The rapid rise of CCTA represents one of cardiology’s biggest ongoing trends, but most primary care providers are still not embracing a CT-first strategy.

“Now more than ever, we must recognize that our country’s leadership in groundbreaking medical research spurs scientific innovation, improves public health and creates new innovations that save and improve lives nationwide,” Joseph C. Wu, MD, PhD, explained in a statement. 

The technology used to diagnose, treat and manage cardiovascular disease is always evolving, keeping FDA officials quite busy. But have the agency's standards been slipping in recent years? A cardiologist with Cedars-Sinai Medical Center explored that very question.

Standing FDA guidance reflects concern over physicians deferring to AI-aided CDS recommendations when pressed for time or uncertain of their own judgments. Is that stance outdated?
