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) Appreciation to coauthors: @BKheiriMD @PDXHeartValveMD @heartsonthehill @JCigarroaMD @HarshGMD @OHSUCardFellow

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. tinyurl.com/fp74a3cz

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.

I believe this to be one of the worst gender imbalances in medicine. Such opportunity ahead to make the structural heart field more attractive to our women colleagues. Great ppl and organizations working hard on this, hopeful this paper can play a small part to move us forward
