The presentations will cover a variety of topics, including coronary artery disease, semaglutide, artificial intelligence, TAVR, heart failure, PCI and much more. ACC.25 takes place March 29-31 in Chicago.
Interventional cardiology continues to evolve, driven by rapid advancements in technology. George Dangas, MD, discussed some of the specialty's biggest ongoing trends with Cardiovascular Business.
Researchers have made it a priority to learn as much about the durability of TAVR valves as possible. A new study in JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions used updated VARC-3 definitions to identify signs of hemodynamic valve deterioration in nearly 2,500 patients.
Marielle Scherrer-Crosbie, MD, told Cardiovascular Business that the current lack of reimbursement for strain echocardiography has been a challenge for care teams.
Lawrence Phillips, MD, president of the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology, said that U.S. physicians are growing more and more frustrated by Medicare policies.
ISC 2024 in Phoenix has already featured several eye-opening late-breaking presentations. One study, for example, found that positioning a stroke patient's head differently before surgery can significantly decrease the risk of neurological complications.
The American Society of Nuclear Cardiology (ASNC) says positron emission tomography (PET) nuclear imaging has seen wider adoption in the past few years, and many cardiac imaging experts say it could become the workhorse technology for nuclear cardiac assessments over the next decade.
Several key trends were evident at the Radiological Society of North America 2024 meeting, including new CT and MR technology and evolving adoption of artificial intelligence.
Ron Blankstein, MD, professor of radiology, Harvard Medical School, explains the use of artificial intelligence to detect heart disease in non-cardiac CT exams.
