Burnout Syndrome among Cardiologists
For the first time, the American College of Cardiology (ACC) has carried out a survey on this phenomenon, and more than 25% of Cardiologists have reported the characteristic symptoms of burnout. This syndrome is known, among other things, for chronic fatigue at work, low self-esteem and difficulty to focus, associated with stress and aggressiveness. These findings should be taken<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2018/01/05/cardiologist-burnout-syndrome/" title="Read more" >...</a>
Effects of Cerebral Radiation on Interventional Cardiologists
In recent years, there has been a growing concern about the occupational hazard for interventional cardiologists who have high and unprecedented levels of ionizing radiation exposure. microRNAs are a class of short and highly conserved non-coding RNA molecules (about 22 nucleotides) that become altered (dysregulated) in many diseases.

Nearly half of interventional cardiologists may have pre-cataract lesions
This statement is based on eye exams conducted during the last SCAI meeting (Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions), where 47% of evaluated operators had radiation related lesions in their crystalline. In time, these might turn into cataract. Studies on astronauts and Chernobyl survivors have shown a clear association between ionizing radiation and crystalline damage,<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2017/05/30/nearly-half-of-interventional-cardiologists-may-have-pre-cataract-lesions/" title="Read more" >...</a>
Ricardo Lluberas: “My greatest concern is that the next generations of cardiologists be guided by ethical principles”.

Should We Use Ultrasound Routinely to Guide Transfemoral Access?
Currently, transfemoral access (TFA) is used in large-caliber procedures and when transradial access fails. The introduction of ultrasound (US) to guide access has emerged as a technique that allows for precise channeling, avoiding accesses above or below the inguinal ligament. However, evidence regarding the use of this tool has shown diverse results. Two surveys conducted<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2024/02/24/should-we-use-ultrasound-routinely-to-guide-transfemoral-access/" title="Read more" >...</a>
