AI has already made a massive impact on healthcare, especially in the fields of cardiology and radiology. With the FDA clearing more and more algorithms, this trend is only expected to grow as time goes on.

Howard Herrmann, MD,  MSCAI, Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, and lead invesigator for the SMART trial, explains details on the 2-year data comparing the Evolut vs. Sapien 3 for TAVR in small annulus patients.

The new document represents the ACC’s first Concise Clinical Guidance; it was designed to be an easy-to-use reference for keeping track of a complicated topic. 

Clinicians are asking the world's medical societies to come together and agree on one acronym for TAVR/TAVI to avoid unnecessary confusion going forward.

The cardiac technologies clinicians use for CVD evaluations have changed significantly in recent years, according to a new analysis of CMS data. While some modalities are on the rise, others are being utilized much less than ever before.

TAVR is associated with a significantly lower risk of bioprosthetic valve dysfunction than SAVR, according to new data presented at CRT 2025 and simultaneously published in JACC. 

A new spending proposal that would extend government funding for another seven months does not address the Medicare payment cut that went into effect on Jan. 1. More than 100 healthcare groups, including the ACC, STS, SCCT and SCAI, are now voicing their disappointment. 

Researchers presented new two-year data from the SMART trial at CRT 2025 in Washington, D.C. Overall, self-expanding TAVR valves continue to show superior valve performance compared to balloon-expandable valves, and clinical outcomes remain comparable.
