Student Research Day
“During your time in medical school, you have learned how to immerse yourselves in a question. You have experienced mentorship and sponsorship, and for many of you your research group or laboratory has become a second home.” The mentorship theme in the remarks of Nancy J. Brown, MD, Jean and David W. Wallace Dean and C.N.H. Long Professor of Internal Medicine, was echoed throughout Yale School of Medicine’s (YSM) Student Research Day (SRD) on May 18, 2021.
In their welcome remarks, Associate Deans of Student Research Sarwat Chaudhry, MD, and Erica Herzog, MD, PhD, framed SRD as a celebration of the nearly 200-year-old tradition of the school’s MD thesis requirement. Herzog, noting the students’ work runs the translational spectrum from the most basic to the most applied, stated, “today we proudly showcase the breadth of state-of-the art research being led by our students. The creativity and diversity of the students’ research ep

Research compares the ISCHEMIA trial enrollment criteria to real-world interventional practice in the U.S.
WASHINGTON, D.C. (APRIL 30, 2021) – Results from a new study find a broad range of patients who typically undergo revascularization for stable ischemic heart disease (SIHD) in the U.S. did not meet enrollment criteria for the ISCHEMIA trial. The data, which was presented April 29th as late-breaking clinical science at the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) 2021 Virtual Scientific Sessions, demonstrates that a minority of SIHD patients referred for coronary intervention in contemporary practice clearly resemble those enrolled in the ISCHEMIA trial
Ischemic heart disease impacts more than 13 million people in the United States and is the leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Treatment for ischemia includes a variety of medical therapies as well as procedures like percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to open up clogge
Study reports 70% decline in heart attack patients who sought care during the pandemic
Results from a retrospective observational study, presented today at Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) 2021 Virtual Scientific Sessions, reveal a 70% decline in the number of patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) during April 2020 compared to April 2019.
While the number of patients with AMI seeking care at hospitals dropped during the pandemic, those that did receive care experienced more severe symptoms because of delays in patients seeking emergency services.
AMI, commonly recognized as a heart attack, is responsible for more than one million deaths in the U.S. every year. For the best patient outcomes, seeking care within the first 90 minutes of heart attack symptoms is critical and delaying care can lead to complications or increased mortality. This study also comes at a time when heart disease remains the number one cause of death for Amer
SCAI releases expert consensus statement on best practices in cardiac catheterization lab
The Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) has released an expert consensus statement providing cardiologists, cath lab directors, and hospital leadership guidance for contemporary cath lab standards. The document, SCAI Expert Consensus Update on Best Practices in the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory will be presented today at the SCAI 2021 Virtual Scientific Sessions with simultaneous publication in
Catheterization & Cardiovascular Interventions. The statement has been endorsed by the American College of Cardiology Clinical Policy Approval Committee, American Heart Association, and the Heart Rhythm Society.
First released in 2012, then updated in 2016 and now 2021, the document highlights a patient- centric approach to procedures in the cardiac catheterization laboratory, incorporating all the latest advances and standards. Dividing the logistics into the pre-pr
