Authored by: John S. Rumsfeld, MD, PhD, FACC, American College of Cardiology’s Chief Innovation Officer & Rashmee U. Shah, MD MS, University of Utah Health, Division of Cardiovascular Medicine Cardiovascular medicine is inherently “high-tech”. The profession has a long history of adopting new technologies (i.e., transcatheter valvular therapeutics) to improve patient outcomes.
