Jonathon A. Leipsic, M.D., FSCCT, is the recipient of the 2019 DeHaan Award for Innovation in Cardiology, announced by the Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography (SCCT). Leipsic will present the second Dehaan Award Lecture at the SCCT 14th Annual Scientific Meeting, July 11-14 in Baltimore. The award, presented by the Jon DeHaan Foundation, includes a $200,000 grant.

This 360 degree photo shows a basic, point-of-care cardiac echocardiogram being performed using a smartphone turned into an ultrasound platform using an app and the Butterfly iQ transducer. The system allows inexpensive access to an easy-to-use ultrasound system to better triage patients and determine if more advanced imaging exams or emergency procedures are required. The system has apps for more than 20 types of ultrasound exams, including lung, heart, liver, vascular, MSK and abdominal.

This is a 360 degree view of a live cardiac echo demonstration for the Siemens Healthineers Acuson SC2000 cardiovascular ultrasound system at the 2019 American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) meeting. The system is Siemens' flagship echocardiography system and the main focus of demos at ASE were on its advanced assessment capabilities for valves and structural heart evaluations. 

This 360 degree photo is of a demonstration of AI capabilities being integrated into GE Healthcare ultrasound systems. Several vendors at the 2019  American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) meeting in June were showing how artificial intelligence (AI) is being integrated on the back end of cardiac ultrasound systems to help automate and speed workflows. 

Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI)

Each year, the SCAI meeting brings together 2,000 physicians, cardiovascular professionals, hospital administrators, academics, and industry professionals from around the world to share knowledge, clinical expertise and the latest medical advances. A distinguished faculty will conduct a three-day program that includes live cases, featured speakers, case reviews, lectures, interactive discussions, abstract presentations, poster sessions and more. 

CSI Focus D-HF

The field of device based therapy in heart failure continues to develop at a fast pace. Advancements in ventricle restoration strategies, device based strategies to improve cardiac output and new monitoring systems only represent a small proportion of the potential for cutting edge technologies and emerging platforms in this new field. The 5th D-HF congress will take place in Paris, December 13 – 14, 2019.

AimRADIAL & PCI

Three-day conference about technical and medical innovations in radial access and percutaneous coronary intereventions (PCI).

The rapid evolution of digital technology and its impact on the prevention and treatment of heart disease is the subject of a new digital summit organized by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC). The ESC Digital Summit will be held Oct. 5-6, 2019, in Tallinn, Estonia.

Single-use cardiology medical device reprocessing company Innovative Health, received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance for reprocessing the PentaRay Nav Eco High-Density mapping catheter manufactured by Biosense Webster. The PentaRay is a key medical device in atrial fibrillation (AF) procedures, one of the fastest growing and most expensive procedures in hospitals today, according to the company. Hospitals utilizing the reprocessed PentaRay and other expensive single-use labeled cardiology devices can save thousands of dollars on each AF procedure, potentially opening the procedure up for more patients.
