AI screening model accurately differentiates cardiac amyloidosis (CA) from other causes of increased left ventricular wall thickness, which may improve echo CA detection and initiate critical treatment. @DocStrom et al in #EHJ @ESC_Journals bit.ly/4eGs1Ys

Cardiovascular procedure are increasingly moving to ambulatory centers and away from hospitals. Led by @katerinadangas, we discuss this transition, how it might affect CV practice, quality and access to care, and what to expect moving forward. In @JACCJournals @SmithBIDMC

WOW! One of the most moving grand rounds I can recall in a very, very long time. “It’a hard for me to even be circumspect about this…” Far too few recognize the urgency of the current moment for our country’s already poor CRM health. Inspiring & brilliant talk, @rkwadhera!
