Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a common and prominent cause of morbidity and mortality interventional cardiology (IC) remains an important noninvasive intervention to improve patient outcomes and life expectancy. Aim: The study objectives were to explore how IC services could be optimized. Methods: We adopted multiple methods, including policy analysis, literature review and interviews. Results: The most prominent themes were medical devices and service integration and management. IC Consultant interviews suggest the need to balance supply and demand, implement standards of practice and establish centres of excellence. Conclusion: Optimizing IC services requires a comprehensive approach, including regulatory and financial oversight, organizational management, adoption of clinical and technological best practices, ongoing training, multidisciplinary working and service integration.
期刊介绍：
Research advances have contributed to improved outcomes across all specialties, but the rate of advancement in cardiology has been exceptional. Concurrently, the population of patients with cardiac conditions continues to grow and greater public awareness has increased patients" expectations of new drugs and devices. Future Cardiology (ISSN 1479-6678) reflects this new era of cardiology and highlights the new molecular approach to advancing cardiovascular therapy. Coverage will also reflect the major technological advances in bioengineering in cardiology in terms of advanced and robust devices, miniaturization, imaging, system modeling and information management issues.
