In this episode of The Atrium, host Alice Copperwheat speaks with Traves Crabtree, Professor and Chair of the Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery and Medical Director of the Surgical Skills Laboratory...
Oral board exams assess more than clinical knowledge. They require candidates to integrate knowledge rapidly, communicate effectively, and demonstrate sound clinical reasoning in high-pressure, real-time situations. The Oral Board AI...
A number of interesting points are raised in this relatively short manuscript. The authors conclude that there is an unmet need for robust independent international registry data from the manufacturers...
To help prevent premature death after a major cardiac event, researchers have developed a new device to monitor heart disease in the following weeks and months. The device is soft,...
Recently, a minimal approach to transcatheter valve replacement using only local anesthesia has been used to promote a faster procedure and recovery time. With this lack of general anesthesia, however,...
This five-year follow-up of a large randomized controlled clinical trial on outcomes after transcatheter edge-to-edge repair of severe mitral regurgitation, as compared with outcomes after maximal doses of guideline-directed medical...
Seventeen procedures were identified by a Delphi process as feasible for simulation-based training. The top five were video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lobectomy; VATS segmentectomy; VATS mediastinal lymph node dissection; diagnostic...
When compared to population-based models, a machine learning-based model improved prediction of mortality risk for cardiac surgery patients. The team used electronic health record data and machine learning methods to...
A lab focused on how artificial intelligence technology can improve the treatment of cardiovascular disease has tested the ability of ChatGPT to answer assessment questions from the American Board of...
With the recent publication of two large, multicenter, randomized trials showing equivalent or even improved survival for segmental versus lobar resection of small (≤2 cm) stage I non-small cell lung...
