Cardiovascular disease continues to pose a major global health challenge, contributing to substantial morbidity and mortality rates across the world. This necessitated ongoing advancements in therapeutic approaches. Cardiovascular interventions have traditionally been dominated by surgical procedures and pharmacotherapy. However, the landscape of cardiovascular medicine is rapidly evolving with the integration of emerging technologies. These advancements encompass a broad spectrum, including artificial intelligence, machine learning, robotics, virtual reality, nanotechnology, wearable devices, telemedicine, and the utilization of electronic health records. The amalgamation of these technologies holds the promise of transforming the way cardiovascular conditions are diagnosed, managed, and treated.

In this era of rapid technological evolution, a comprehensive understanding, evaluation, and integration of these emerging technologies are paramount to optimizing cardiovascular intervention. The assimilation of these technologies promises a future where cardiovascular care is increasingly personalized, efficient, and accessible, ultimately leading to improved patient outcomes and an enhanced quality of life for individuals affected by cardiovascular diseases. Ongoing research, collaboration, and multidisciplinary efforts in this domain are essential to unlocking the full potential of these technologies and realizing a transformative shift in cardiovascular healthcare.

This research topic aims to comprehensively explore the evolving landscape of cardiovascular intervention, emphasizing the integration of surgical therapies and emerging technologies. It encompasses in-depth analyses of advancements in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), valvular interventions, arrhythmia management, and novel approaches like robotic surgery and minimally invasive and catheter-based interventions. Furthermore, the topic investigates the utilization of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and other advanced technologies to optimize decision-making and procedural outcomes. The topic is focused on the pivotal role of sustainability and diversity in promoting equitable advancements and shaping the future of cardiovascular medicine. By highlighting the potential future directions, challenges, and opportunities in the integration of surgical therapies and emerging technologies, this topic will aim to provide a forum for collaboration, innovation and to further optimize cardiovascular interventional medicine, ultimately leading to improved patient outcomes and enhanced quality of life.
