Medtronic TAVR valves at heart of multiple sessions during New York cardiology conference

Medtronic’s TAVR technology received a significant amount of attention during the very first New York Valves conference in New York City. Research focused on patients with small annuli as well as how five-year outcomes compare to surgery.

Jagmeet Singh, MD, PhD, Professor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School, and Founding Director of the Resynchronization and Advanced Cardiac Therapeutics Program at Mass General Hospital, delivered a key note address at HRS 2024 on the future of artificial intelligence in EP and AI applications in cardiology. #HRS #EPeeps #HRS2024 #HRS24 #HealthAI

Embracing AI to enhance EP: Insights from cardiologist Jagmeet Singh

Private equity in healthcare: Cardiologists, government officials and advocacy groups share their perspective

The FTC and other federal agencies launched a public inquiry to see how physicians, patients and other stakeholders felt about the rising influence of private equity in healthcare. Based on the public comments available online, many in the industry are concerned about the trend's long-term impact on patient care.

What does radiology have to do with climate change?

Kate Hanneman, MD, explains why many vendors and hospitals want to lower radiology's impact on the environment. "Taking steps to reduce the carbon footprint in healthcare isn’t just an opportunity," she said. "It’s also a responsibility."

Cardiac Imaging

The rapid rise of artificial intelligence (AI) has helped cardiologists, radiologists, nurses and other healthcare providers embrace precision medicine in a way that ensures more heart patients are receiving personalized care.

Healthcare Management

There has been a growing shortage of cardiologists the past several years, but this has accelerated due to burnout from the pandemic, falling reimbursements and increasing administrative burdens. This prompted a joint session on this topic with the ACC and the Heart Rhythm Society at HRS 2024, with ACC President Cathie Biga, MSN, FACC, president and CEO of Cardiovascular Management of Illinois, former ACC president Ed Fry, MD, chair of the Ascension National Cardiovascular Service Line, and EP Parin Patel.
