Validation of the J-Channel Score for retrograde channel crossing in the PROGRESS-CTO registry
We examined the performance of the J-Channel score in patients who underwent retrograde CTO-PCI at 31 centers between 2013-2023 as part of the Prospective Global Registry for the Study of CTO Intervention (PROGRESS-CTO). We observed an association between successful CC crossing and the J-Channel score, its predictive efficacy was modest for both wire and microcatheter crossing.PMID:38422527 | DOI:10.25270/jic/24.00006 (Source: The Journal of Invasive Cardiology)

Burnout in cardiology: a narrative review
J Invasive Cardiol. 2024 Feb 26. doi: 10.25270/jic/23.00292. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe frequency of burnout is rising among cardiologists, affecting not only their well-being but also the quality of patient care. Computerization of practice, bureaucracy, excessive workload, lack of control/autonomy, hostile and hectic work environments, insufficient income, and work life imbalance are the main categories listed as contributing factors to cardiologists' burnout. Organization- and physician-directed interventions can be impactful; however, the effectiveness and feasibility of these interventions have rarely been asse...
