Aubrey Shick, a digital health policy expert on regulatory and product strategy with Launch and Logic LLC, and a former Senior Digital Health Advisor at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), explains how the Trump administration's push for faster artificial intelligence (AI) adoption in healthcare is being done and challenges for the FDA amid government downsizing.

An inside look at the changing culture of the FDA

Expertise and commitment of FDA reviewers remain in place, but the agency’s ability to communicate openly with industry has become a significant concern.

Andrew Einstein, MD, PhD, FACC, MASNC, MSCCT, FSCMR, incoming 2027 president of the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology (ASNC), professor of medicine in radiology, and director of nuclear cardiology, cardiac CT and cardiac MRI at Columbia University Irving Medical Center/NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, discusses the potential and limitations of using coronary CT angiography (CCTA) as a screening modality. He also discusses the role of opportunistic imaging.

CCTA screening shows potential, but more research is necessary

Andrew Einstein, MD, PhD, spoke to Cardiovascular Business about the potential benefits and limitations of using coronary CT angiography as a screening modality.

FDA balances faster AI adoption with safety as healthcare technology advances

Insider explains how the FDA is spearheading the Trump administration's push for faster AI adoption in healthcare.

Video: Rick Snyder, MD, FACC, president of HeartPlace, and Chief Physician Executive at U.S. Heart and Vascular, testified to Congressional leaders in his role with the American Independent Medical Practice Association (AIMPA) to explain how federal healthcare policies have created an inefficient payment system that rewards higher cost care models and is putting lower cost private practices out of business.

"We really should have a system that is patient-centric, physician-led, and professionally managed, but in a cost-effective way," Rick Snyder, MD, said.

Brian Ghoshhajra, MD, MBA, FSCCT, Medical director of radiology and clinical operations for integrated imaging services, Mass General Bringham, and an associate professor of radiology at Harvard Medical School, explains how his center integrated artificial intelligence (AI) into its radiology and cardiovascular imaging workflow.

How Mass General is using AI to improve its cardiovascular imaging workflows

At Mass General Brigham, advanced algorithms help clinicians spend more time focused on what matters most.

Sanjiv Narayan, MD, MBChB, MSc, FRCP, an American Heart Association volunteer, director of the electrophysiology research and atrial fibrillation program, and co-founder of the Stanford Arrhythmia Center at Stanford Medicine, sees AI at a major inflection point in cardiology, enabling cardiologists to become more efficient, gain more detailed insights into their patients' risk factors, better answers to clinical questions and help in navigating procedures. But, he said AI will not replace cardiologists.

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.

Damodhar Suresh, MD, executive medical director of St. Elizabeth Healthcare Heart and Vascular Institute in Edgewood, Kentucky. He is also a volunteer current science chair for the International committee for the American Heart Association (AHA), explains how the AHA is helping cardiologists from numerous countries put in place systems of care to standardize how heart attack patients are treated.

American Heart Association helping countries all over the world improve care

The AHA has developed systems of care that can help developing countries improve their treatment strategies for both heart attack and stroke.

Anand Singh, MD, FACR, chair of the Radiology Partners National Quality and Safety Committee, associate director of Mosaic Clinical Technologies, said hospitals should begin by identifying the specific problems they want AI to solve rather than starting with the technology itself.

Hospitals need a management strategy for radiology AI before investing

Radiology departments need to think about long-term management of AI, not just which algorithms may help them currently.
