The Trump administration has made it a priority to take federal funding away from any group it considers to be "DEI." These policies have even led to the removal of healthcare data from government websites. Funding cuts have most directly impacted patient care for prevention programs aimed at underserved communities. They have also impacted patients involved in clinical trials looking specifically at female and non-white populations.
ASNC and AMA push back against AI prior authorization denials

The American Society of Nuclear Cardiology (ASNC), in collaboration with the American Medical Association (AMA), is taking a firm stance against health insurance companies’ growing use of artificial intelligence (AI) to automate prior authorization denials—an approach that physicians say is undermining patient care and contributing to professional burnout.
Cardiology groups should develop separate guidelines for treating female heart patients

Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death for women, and growing evidence shows that men and women experience heart disease in fundamentally different ways. Those differences need to be more fully reflected in clinical guidelines, according to Janet Wei, MD, Erika J. Glazer Chair in Women’s Cardiovascular Research, Education and Innovation at the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai Hospital. She explained that heart disease is not a one-size-fits-all condition.

Balloon-expandable, self-expanding TAVR valves associated with comparable long-term outcomes

2 weeks ago | cardiovascularbusiness.com | Michael Walter

Balloon-expandable and self-expanding transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) valves are associated with comparable patient outcomes after six years, according to a new long-term analysis published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.[1] “With the expansion of TAVR indication to younger and lower-risk patients, there is the ongoing need to provide comprehensive long-term data on clinical outcomes and bioprosthetic-valve function on recent generation balloon-expandable...
Inspired by astronauts, researchers use high-tech pants to uncover heart issues on MRI

2 weeks ago | cardiovascularbusiness.com | Michael Walter

Astronauts wear lower body negative-pressure (LBNP) pants to simulate the effect of gravity during space travel. Now, a new study published in European Heart Journal – Cardiovascular Imaging suggests the same basic technology could significantly improve the performance of MRI-based exercise stress testing.[1]Researchers with the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) first got the idea while watching an astronaut floating in space.
ACC backs AMA resolution to boost lung cancer and heart disease screenings in smokers with low-dose CT scans
