FEATURED MEDICAL EDUCATION TOPIC: Innovative Heart Disease Imaging and Technology

What is the problem?

Recent studies have suggested that the prevalence of cardiovascular disease such as diabetes, hypertension, obesity and dyslipidemia, is expected to continue to increase. It is imperative that healthcare professionals can better screen for and diagnose these conditions to have the best possible patient care outcomes. Heart disease imaging technology is advancing, especially with the ever-evolving field of artificial intelligence. The goal is to utilize this technology as a preventive measure rather than a reactive strategy by catching diagnoses early. It is important for healthcare professionals to know about the latest AI-enabled technologies available and how they can aid in the diagnosis of heart disease.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, the learners will be able to:

• Review newer AI-enabled technologies available (e.g., Cleerly, flow fractional reserve, etc.) in detection and classification of cardiac impairments with an emphasis on coronary artery disease
• Identify clinical use cases for these newer technologies. What gaps do they fill? Have they changed medical management recommendations and/or outcomes?
• Provide nuances on how to review these technologies in the context of mortality and morbidity risk assessment
• Touch on potential future breakthroughs

If your medical staff needs an update on the latest in heart disease imaging, consider contacting our office to book a speaker at 877-505-4777 or info@speakersnetwork.com.
