New radiation safety guidance published 8/2026
( https://t.co/sg7yo7Z8Dq) reinforces the importance of protecting cath lab teams from occupational exposure, and keeping radiation safety at the forefront of our practice.

I was honored to be part of this JSCAI Clinical Conversation about cath lab radiation safety with Dean Kereiakes, David Rizik, Kenneth Rosenfield, and Arizona State Senator Carine Werner.

We discussed how, while radiation protection technology continues to evolve, implementation of enhanced protection strategies remains inconsistent. Cost, regulatory standards, and differences in institutional practices can all play a role.

The conversation also reinforced that protecting our teams requires more than technology alone. Education, appropriate monitoring, training, standardized practices, updated regulations, and continued research all have an important role in reducing occupational exposure and supporting the ALARA (as low as is reasonably achievable) principle.

Grateful for the opportunity to be part of this conversation and help bring greater attention to radiation protection in the fluoroscopy lab, with the goal of encouraging broader adoption of effective strategies and a stronger, more consistent approach to safety.

Cardiovascular prevention is an important part of cancer care. ❤️

I enjoyed speaking with Dr. Ana Barac for the latest ACCEL Lite interview on “Umbrella: Cardioprotection During Treatment.”

We discuss assessing cardiovascular risk, monitoring for cardiotoxicity, recognizing symptoms early, and helping patients maintain heart healthy habits during treatment.

For patients with higher cardiovascular risk, working together with the oncology team can help identify concerns early and guide prevention throughout treatment.

It’s not just about treating the cancer. It’s about caring for the whole person, and the heart is a big part of that.

@lamcardio So sorry to hear this. Sending you positive thoughts and prayers.

What if the next major breakthroughs in cardiovascular medicine come from studying health inequities?

Our new AHA/ACC/ESC/WHF Expert Consensus argues that health equity is no longer just about access or fairness—it's a new frontier of science. Understanding how stress, environment, and adversity become biology can reveal new mechanisms of disease and drive targeted interventions that improve outcomes for everyone. #CardioTwitter #HealthEquity #CVScience #cardiology

🆕 joint editorial from the ACC, AHA, ESC and WHF calls for a new era of equity-centered #cardiovascular care.

✅ Redefine prevention
✅ Optimize care delivery
✅ Ensure all patients benefit equally

What if a #smartwatch could identify worsening heart failure before it leads to hospitalization?

So happy to share our latest publication in JACC: Heart Failure. In TRIBE-HF II, we evaluated CardioID, a passive smartwatch-enabled AI platform that combines heart rate–derived physiologic patterns with serial NT-proBNP measurements to detect worsening heart failure.

Our findings suggest this approach may identify physiologic deterioration earlier than conventional weight-based monitoring. This is a promising step toward more proactive, personalized heart failure care.
Proud to have been part of the TRIBE-HF team.

Spectacular grand rounds on #AIinCardiology by
@ditchhaporia @UCIrvine @hoaghealth. One thing is clear from today's discussion - AI is here to stay! The risk is not AI, but over-reliance or ignorance of it!

[Dipti Itchhaporia, M.D., MACC , FAHA, FESC @ditchhaporia]

Thank you to @DineshKalra for the invitation to the @UofLCardiology grand rounds. Enjoyed meeting faculty and fellows- look forward to a visit back in the future. Thank you to @cardio10s for joining virtually #aiincardology

[Dinesh Kalra, MD @DineshKalra]

Thrilled to have @ditchhaporia give #visitinggrandrounds @UofLCardiology on #AIinCardiology. An amazing, practical, clear-sighted talk on AI's amazing potential, the safeguards needed, and why it will transform and disrupt how we practice. But, as cardiologists who deploy #AI, we need to lead the way in validation, trust, evidence generation, privacy, equity, and responsible implementation. We need to do so thoughtfully so that it can benefit our patients and help workflow and prevent burnout. A masterclass! You are always welcome to come again next year to @uofl, Dipti for the @KentuckyDerby! @ACCinTouch @kentuckyacc @JACCJournals @UCIrvine @hoaghealth @Drroxmehran @timpotsMD @MrinShettyMD @UofLMedicine
