Important points:
- One of the priorities of the American College of Cardiology is to establish an independent committee on CV medicine.
- Another is to further incorporate health equity issues into the education and training of cardiologists.
ATLANTA — Establishing an independent cardiovascular medicine committee and further integrating health equity issues in cardiologist education and training are among the priorities of the American College of Cardiology, the association's president says. Ta.
ACC President B. Hadley Wilson, MD, FACC; commemorated the University's 75th anniversary and envisioned the University's future role in cardiovascular care in his opening remarks at the ACC Scientific Sessions.
“This year, in parallel with our 75th anniversary, we embark on our next chapter with a strategic plan for the next five years,” Wilson said. “We will focus on five key initiatives, including addressing health equity, developing actionable tools to address disparities, raising awareness, and embedding health equity into education and training. We will also evaluate your teaching portfolio to ensure a more personalized and interactive experience and provide the education you need, when you need it. Professional excellence through continuing cardiovascular clinical competency. Transformational shifts to preserve gender are also on our dashboard.”

Wilson, executive vice president of Sanger Heart and Vascular Institute/Atrium Health and clinical professor at Wake Forest University School of Medicine, said the ACC is working with other cardiovascular societies to create a new independent board. “I'm excited and optimistic.” For cardiovascular internal medicine. “This new board application has been submitted to the American Board of Medical Specialties and we hope to receive a positive response within the next few months,” he said.
Other focuses for the ACC over the next five years include “enabling the transformation of instruction and care at the point of care,” Wilson said. “In both cases, collaboration with partner organizations, MedAxiom, health systems, and other stakeholders on innovative solutions will drive improved patient outcomes, put actionable knowledge literally at your fingertips, and improve cardiovascular outcomes.” It is key to defining best practices in care.”
He said artificial intelligence, remote patient monitoring, big data, wearables and digital health will contribute to this transformation of care. “ACC Innovation Program Led by Chief Innovation Officer” Dr. Ami Butt, FACC, will identify how best to leverage these innovations to help clinicians address the growing global burden of cardiovascular disease and deliver equitable, high-quality cardiovascular care in the communities where people live. I am working hard on this. Already, clinical trials are testing gene-editing technologies to address genetic factors that contribute to cardiovascular disease, and AI-driven algorithms are working to provide more accurate and faster diagnosis along with personalized treatment plans. It is being introduced on a trial basis.according to forbesThe implementation of AI algorithms is expected to save more than $150 billion over the next three to five years. ”
In the face of such developments, “it is important that we do not abdicate our responsibility to verify the data generated and ensure a fair interpretation of its output,” he said.
The hospital of the future will include environmental sensors, AI, natural language processing, video platforms, automated visit note creation in electronic medical records, smaller and more portable medical equipment, single-room surgery from admission to discharge, and AI. May have led care. This allows for at-home diagnosis and early intervention, and “ACC will be with you on this journey,” Wilson said.
“Let us continue to navigate this advanced digital highway together, realize our full potential and ensure a legacy that continues for another 75 years and beyond,” he said.
