🌡️❤️ Rising temperatures may have a growing impact on cardiovascular health.
New data projects a sharp increase in heat-related CVD by 2050, particularly among older adults and patients with existing heart disease. As extreme heat becomes more common, it's increasingly important to consider heat exposure as a cardiovascular risk factor.

❓Should #IVUS be standard in #CLTI treatment?
A new multidisciplinary survey suggests strong support among specialists for a randomized trial to better understand IVUS-guided therapy to treat chronic limb-threatening ischemia. Future studies may help clarify how IVUS can improve outcomes in patients with peripheral artery disease. 🫀

As interventional cardiologists, we know that not all #PAD patients are the same.
Patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia often require urgent, limb-saving intervention. That’s why clinical context matters when evaluating treatment patterns, outcomes, and resource utilization.
SCAI and four partner societies have released a joint statement emphasizing the importance of guideline-concordant care, patient access, and evidence-based policymaking.
