Chicago Cardiovascular Update

Northwestern Medicine will focus on updates on hypertension, prevention, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, valvular heart disease and acute coronary syndromes. Significant new data and guidelines from 2016 –2017 will represent the platform for discussions.

 

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

18th Canadian Association for Interventional Radiology Annual Meeting

Smart speakers customarily used in your living room can act as an aid to physicians in hospital operating rooms, according to new research presented at the Society of Interventional Radiology’s (SIR) 2019 Annual Scientific Meeting, March 23-28 in Austin, Texas. Smart speakers, such as the Amazon Echo and Google Home, offer a conversational voice interface that allows interventional radiology (IR) physicians to ask questions and retrieve information needed for their patient treatments without breaking sterile scrub.

According to a new research study, straight tip guidewires, with a current share of more than a third of the total market value, will retain the dominant position in neurovascular guidewires market through 2028. The report from Future Market Insights notes that aneurysms and intra-and extra-cranial angioplasty reflect highest applicability of neurovascular guidewires.

A program designed to help heart attack patients with the transition from hospital to outpatient care can reduce readmissions and deaths and increase the number of patients keeping follow-up appointments, a new study suggests. Findings from the Sanger Heart and Vascular Heart Care Navigation Team study were presented at the American College of Cardiology’s Cardiovascular Summit, Feb. 14-16 in Orlando, Fla. The conference brings together top experts to discuss and review innovative, relevant cardiovascular management and leadership strategies.

DiA Imaging Analysis announced the launch of LVivo SAX, a cardiac analysis tool that helps clinicians quickly and accurately interpret ultrasound images and assess heart functionality among patients suspected of suffering from acute coronary syndrome (ACS).

Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger is reportedly recovering after undergoing a transcatheter aortic valve valve replacement (TAVR) procedure at a New York hospital.

The ScImage cloud-based PICOM365 enterprise cardiology is one of the newer generation echo reporting solutions that offers several ways to streamline workflow.

Echocardiography reporting systems are usually integrated with, or offered as an add-on module for a cardiovascular information system (cardiac PACS). As technology has advanced, some cardiac ultrasound reporting systems have added advanced functionality that go beyond just offering a form to enter a text report.
