Some U.S. centers need improvement in their outcomes was the biggest takeaway from the five transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) late-breaking trials presented at virtual American College of Cardiology (ACC) annual meeting March 28-30, 2020.

The annual meeting, originally schedule in Chicago, was cancelled due to the rapid spread of COVID-19. As the virtual ACC meeting started, the Chicago venue where ACC was supposed to be hosted was being turned into a COVID-19 overflow hospital. 


April 20, 2020 — As the United States continues to face the unprecedented public health emergency from the COVID-19 pandemic, some areas of the country are seeing a decline in cases. As states and localities begin to stabilize, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is issuing guidance on how local healthcare systems can resume providing non-COVID-19 care to patients without symptoms of COVID-19 in regions with low and stable incidence of the virus.

      Stephen Bloom, M.D., FASNC, director of nonivasive cardiology (cardiac CT, nuclear cardiology and echocardiography) at Midwest Heart and Vascular Associates, Overland Park, Kansas. He is also a member of the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology (ASNC) Board of Directors, explains some of the issues involved and protocols used for cardiac imaging during the COVID-19 pandemic. His discussion includes computed tomography, cardiac ultrasound and nuclear imaging.

      Right now, Bloom said it is difficult to test everybody and there is a shortage of masks, gowns and other personal protective equipment (PPE), and the imaging equipment needs to be sanitized each time it is used. He said it is just is not possible to image all the patients who need imaging right now. Hospitals also are trying to limit the number of healthy people people coming into hospitals for routine visits and tests to reduce their potential exposure to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2) and help containment efforts. 

      "The tests should be done, very simply, if it changes the care of the patient. If it doesn't change the care of the patient, and it can be postponed, it should be postponed," Bloom explained. "I would say 80 percent of our cardiac imaging exams have stopped. It has been very dramatic."

      January 01, 2025

      Preventing contrast induced nephropathy and managing patients with chronic kidney disease remain major challenges in the cardiac catheterization lab. In recent years, contrast supply shortages have presented a new challenge to care delivery. When considering these challenges, and as quality metrics in our labs face more scrutiny, there are existing technologies and best practices such as a variable rate contrast delivery systems and HD IVUS that can be used to manage workflow and improve patient outcomes.

      The ACC Interventional Council’s recent statement recommending that intracoronary imaging be a routine part of clinical practice further reinforces the need for adoption of intracoronary. Using a case-based approach, the faculty will demonstrate how to use the ACIST CVi contrast delivery system, HDi high definition IVUS and diagnostic and post-PCI physiologic assessment to reduce contrast usage, improve AKI rates and deliver optimized patient outcomes.

      Learning Objectives

      By the end of this webinar, participants will understand that high-quality care starts at the point of education and can transform cardiovascular imaging. Attendees will see how optimized workflows can improve quality and will be able to:

      • To understand the benefits of implementing a variable rate contrast delivery system in the cath lab.

      • To understand the clinical benefits of HD IVUS utilization and how to implement a standardized workflow for effective use.

      • To understand how HD IVUS and physiologic testing can be used to improve patient outcomes and reduce contrast utilization.

      Behavioral science is being applied in unique ways for enterprise-imaging product design.

      Behavioral science is the study of human behavior. It’s a mix of psychology, sociology, social and cultural anthropology, and economics. Using a data-driven, human-centered approach, behavioral science helps uncover what people have done in the past and tries to predict — and often change — how they’ll behave in the future.

      In this webinar, leading healthcare experts will discuss how observation, interviews, and experimentation can help the industry form a better understanding of current customer needs and pain points within cardiovascular imaging. Having clinicians involved in the product-design process has led to the complete rearchitecting of a next-generation hemodynamics solution.

      Using a real-world scenario, we’ll share a clinician’s experience working with behavioral science and product-development teams, provide an understanding of how they’re using hemodynamics today, and get their thoughts on the future of imaging and hemodynamics.

      By listening to key stakeholders, new features can be brought to market that will have a notable impact on the way health systems operate. By building better products, we can help improve patient outcomes and ultimately transform the healthcare industry — one behavior at a time.

      Learning Objectives

      • How a next-generation hemodynamics system has implemented 19 user-centric concepts and undergone iterative testing with healthcare providers.

      • How physicians, technicians, nurses and administrators are providing their expertise to bring new features to market that will have a notable impact on the way health systems operate.

      • What a next-generation hemodynamics system can do to keep pace with new technology innovations in cardiovascular care and increasing clinical demands.

          Preventing contrast induced nephropathy and managing patients with chronic kidney disease remain major challenges in the cardiac catheterization lab. In recent years, contrast supply shortages have presented a new challenge to care delivery. When considering these challenges, and as quality metrics in our labs face more scrutiny, there are existing technologies and best practices such as a variable rate contrast delivery systems and HD IVUS that can be used to manage workflow and improve patient outcomes.

          The ACC Interventional Council’s recent statement recommending that intracoronary imaging be a routine part of clinical practice further reinforces the need for adoption of intracoronary. Using a case-based approach, the faculty will demonstrate how to use the ACIST CVi contrast delivery system, HDi high definition IVUS and diagnostic and post-PCI physiologic assessment to reduce contrast usage, improve AKI rates and deliver optimized patient outcomes.

          Learning Objectives

          By the end of this webinar, participants will understand that high-quality care starts at the point of education and can transform cardiovascular imaging. Attendees will see how optimized workflows can improve quality and will be able to:

          • To understand the benefits of implementing a variable rate contrast delivery system in the cath lab.

          • To understand the clinical benefits of HD IVUS utilization and how to implement a standardized workflow for effective use.

          • To understand how HD IVUS and physiologic testing can be used to improve patient outcomes and reduce contrast utilization.

          Behavioral science is being applied in unique ways for enterprise-imaging product design.

          Behavioral science is the study of human behavior. It’s a mix of psychology, sociology, social and cultural anthropology, and economics. Using a data-driven, human-centered approach, behavioral science helps uncover what people have done in the past and tries to predict — and often change — how they’ll behave in the future.

          In this webinar, leading healthcare experts will discuss how observation, interviews, and experimentation can help the industry form a better understanding of current customer needs and pain points within cardiovascular imaging. Having clinicians involved in the product-design process has led to the complete rearchitecting of a next-generation hemodynamics solution.

          Using a real-world scenario, we’ll share a clinician’s experience working with behavioral science and product-development teams, provide an understanding of how they’re using hemodynamics today, and get their thoughts on the future of imaging and hemodynamics.

          By listening to key stakeholders, new features can be brought to market that will have a notable impact on the way health systems operate. By building better products, we can help improve patient outcomes and ultimately transform the healthcare industry — one behavior at a time.

          Learning Objectives

          • How a next-generation hemodynamics system has implemented 19 user-centric concepts and undergone iterative testing with healthcare providers.

          • How physicians, technicians, nurses and administrators are providing their expertise to bring new features to market that will have a notable impact on the way health systems operate.

          • What a next-generation hemodynamics system can do to keep pace with new technology innovations in cardiovascular care and increasing clinical demands.

          The provision of echocardiographic services remains crucial during the novel coronavirus (COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2) outbreak. To minimizing risks to cardiac ultrasound staff, The American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) commissioned a group of experts to a statement outlining recommendations to improve safety and reduce the potential for COVID-19 cross contamination. 



          April 14, 2020 — There is a major challenge in balancing the risk of a delaying a needed valvular and structural heart disease (SHD) procedures against the risk of a susceptible patient being brought into the hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic.



          April 14, 2020 — Since the start of COVID-19 containment efforts across the U.S. in March 2020, there has been a massive drop in the normal number of heart attack and stroke cases showing up at hospitals across the country. This has raised concerns that patients are not seeking medical attention because of fears about going to the hospital.

              Ehtisham Mahmud, M.D., FSCAI, president of the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) and chief, Division of Cardiovascular Medicine at UC San Diego Medical Center, explains the new American College of Cardiology (ACC) and SCAI precaution guidelines for treating transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) patients in the cath lab during the COVID-19 pandemic.

              He explains recommendations for how structural heart programs can continue to treat acutely ill patients during novel coronavirus (COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2) containment efforts. The key message in the guidelines is to defer patients who can wait until containemnt efforts loosen in the coming months, while acute patients who are very sick should be treated.

              The guidelines are outlined in the document "Triage Considerations for Patients Referred for Structural Heart Disease Intervention During the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID‐19) Pandemic: An ACC /SCAI Consensus Statement." can be accessed online in the SCAI journal Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions.[1]

              Preventing contrast induced nephropathy and managing patients with chronic kidney disease remain major challenges in the cardiac catheterization lab. In recent years, contrast supply shortages have presented a new challenge to care delivery. When considering these challenges, and as quality metrics in our labs face more scrutiny, there are existing technologies and best practices such as a variable rate contrast delivery systems and HD IVUS that can be used to manage workflow and improve patient outcomes.

              The ACC Interventional Council’s recent statement recommending that intracoronary imaging be a routine part of clinical practice further reinforces the need for adoption of intracoronary. Using a case-based approach, the faculty will demonstrate how to use the ACIST CVi contrast delivery system, HDi high definition IVUS and diagnostic and post-PCI physiologic assessment to reduce contrast usage, improve AKI rates and deliver optimized patient outcomes.

              Learning Objectives

              By the end of this webinar, participants will understand that high-quality care starts at the point of education and can transform cardiovascular imaging. Attendees will see how optimized workflows can improve quality and will be able to:

              • To understand the benefits of implementing a variable rate contrast delivery system in the cath lab.

              • To understand the clinical benefits of HD IVUS utilization and how to implement a standardized workflow for effective use.

              • To understand how HD IVUS and physiologic testing can be used to improve patient outcomes and reduce contrast utilization.

              Behavioral science is being applied in unique ways for enterprise-imaging product design.

              Behavioral science is the study of human behavior. It’s a mix of psychology, sociology, social and cultural anthropology, and economics. Using a data-driven, human-centered approach, behavioral science helps uncover what people have done in the past and tries to predict — and often change — how they’ll behave in the future.

              In this webinar, leading healthcare experts will discuss how observation, interviews, and experimentation can help the industry form a better understanding of current customer needs and pain points within cardiovascular imaging. Having clinicians involved in the product-design process has led to the complete rearchitecting of a next-generation hemodynamics solution.

              Using a real-world scenario, we’ll share a clinician’s experience working with behavioral science and product-development teams, provide an understanding of how they’re using hemodynamics today, and get their thoughts on the future of imaging and hemodynamics.

              By listening to key stakeholders, new features can be brought to market that will have a notable impact on the way health systems operate. By building better products, we can help improve patient outcomes and ultimately transform the healthcare industry — one behavior at a time.

              Learning Objectives

              • How a next-generation hemodynamics system has implemented 19 user-centric concepts and undergone iterative testing with healthcare providers.

              • How physicians, technicians, nurses and administrators are providing their expertise to bring new features to market that will have a notable impact on the way health systems operate.

              As part of DAIC's continuing Thought Leadership Series, this month Editorial Director Melinda Taschetta-Millane sits down with Philip B. Adamson, MD, MSc, FACC, Chief Medical Officer of CVRx, to talk about health equity — starting at the beginning of clinical trials, and including how medical device manufacturers need a clear roadmap from the get-go to achieve success.

              As Chief Medical Officer of CVRx, Dr. Adamson will spearhead efforts to drive awareness and appropriate use of Barostim therapy among clinicians. He will guide comprehensive medical education, outreach and guideline integration initiatives to establish Barostim as the standard of care for patients with heart failure. Dr. Adamson previously was with Abbott Laboratories, where he served as Divisional Vice President and Chief Medical Officer of the Heart Failure division. A renowned expert in heart failure, he has nearly three decades of experience in academia as a professor and as a practicing cardiologist, during which time he authored over 150 manuscripts and book chapters. Dr. Adamson earned his MD with distinction from the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine and MSc in physiology from the University of Oklahoma.

              His clinical interests focus on developing more efficient and effective disease management systems for patients with chronic heart failure, specifically focusing on remote monitoring of physiologic signals from implanted devices. He has also served as the principal investigator on the steering committees of several large randomized clinical trials over the past decade.
