Recently, the Society of Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) proposed an alphabetical staging system (A-E) to predict prognosis in cardiogenic shock. Herein, we report clinical outcomes patients enrolled RECOVER III, highlighting impact SCAI Shock Stage on outcomes. The III study is observational, prospective, multicenter, single-arm, FDA-audited post-approval with acute myocard...

Radical changes to our nation’s healthcare system will affect remuneration for both hospitals and interventional cardiologists yet these very same directives may allow for specific areas of synergy and collaboration toward the common good, for hospitals, physicians and most importantly for the patients we serve. Accordingly, the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) su...

The principal properties of geodesic normal coordinates are the vanishing of the connection components and first derivatives of the metric components at some point. It is well-known that these hold only at points where the connection has vanishing torsion and nonmetricity. However, it is shown that normal frames, possessing the essential features of normal coordinates, can still be constructed ...

This paper reports the status of a new cardiovascular fluoroscopy benchmarking phantom. A joint working group of the Society for Cardiac Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) and the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) developed the phantom. The device has been adopted as NEMA standard XR 21-2000, 'Characteristics of and Test Procedures for a Phantom to Benchmark Cardiac Fluoros...

PurposeAdvanced age is associated with poor outcomes in cardiovascular emergencies. We sought to determine the association of age, use temporary mechanical circulatory support (t-MCS) devices and shock severity on inpatient mortality cardiogenic (CS).MethodsOutcomes CS patients included Cardiogenic Shock Work Group (CSWG) registry from 8 US sites between 2016 - 2019 were retrospectively reviewe...
