Health risks for the interventionist. High quality research long overdue per Malcolm Bell Mamas A. Mamas Jim Nolan Sunil V. Rao #RadialFirst


Abdelkader Almanfi, MD, FACC, FSCAI Sunil V. Rao Ronnie Ramadan, MD Ajay Kirtane Robert W. Yeh Duane Pinto MD MPH Chandan Devireddy And i don't believe that non- interventional cardiologists should be doing diagnostic caths. A diagnostic may involve other modalities to assess lesions such as pressure wire or intravasc imaging. Also need to be able to deal with complications. Should be about pt quality/safety







Thanks Sunil V. Rao for the pic showing me where to go.
