A Becker’s ASC Review article on “Where 5 Cardiologists Think Technology Is Headed” featured comments from Anjali Vaidya, MD, FACC, FASE, FACP, Director of the Advanced Pulmonary Hypertension, Right Heart Failure & Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension (CTEPH) Program at Temple University Hospital, on the novel screening approach developed by physicians at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine that shows significant promise for improving the detection of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). The new research shows that the virtual echocardiography screening tool (VEST), when incorporated into the electronic medical record (EMR) system, can generate accurate PAH risk scores – without the need for time-consuming manual calculations.
