#LateBreaking science from #CRT2024! Read key #InterventionalCardiology takeaways from 5 trials featured at this year’s meeting with top takeaways drafted by SCAI experts ➡️ bit.ly/CRT24Takeaways
@CRT_meeting @FarshadForouz @chadialraies @TimSimpsonMD @bkolskk @Allison_Dupont
Increasingly interested in the ways #ArtificialIntelligence can make our lives easier. Playing with the newest #chatgpt3 and its scary good... A few notes and a paper intro in <30 seconds.

We studied CMS provider billing data to evaluate TAVR operator trends from 2014 through 2018.
Follow along to see the highlights- I suspect some of our findings may surprise you. (1/9)
onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
With current CMS volume requirements and outcomes associations, will be lots to watch in this space in the coming years
-How do we balance access to therapy and high quality outcomes?
-Will operator volumes plateau or regress, will procedural #'s be outpaced by operator growth?
-Will expanding TAVR indications continue to fuel growth in volumes?
-Do we move away from volume requirements completely as surrogate of proficiency? (9/9)

When the journal allows only one figure in your research letter but your data is 🔥🔥🔥, you go deep in the alphabet in your Fig 1.

New in @CircIntv, our paper highlighting the severe gender disparity among TAVR operators in the US; in 2018 <4% of operators were women, 38% of states had 0 women operators, over 5y 58% annualized growth in # of operators w no change in % of women.

Women ICs made up an even smaller % of operators than our surgical colleagues (2.7 vs 5.1%). Similar median # of TAVRs annually performed by women vs men.
