Summary
In this episode, we're joined by Dr. Nish Patel , Director of the Structural Heart Program at Baptist Health Miami Cardiac & Vascular Institute. A practicing interventional cardiologist and structural heart specialist, Dr. Patel shares how his personal experiences and procedural expertise have shaped his patient-centered approach to care. Dr. Patel walks us through the evolution of structural heart interventions, from the early days of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) to today's cutting-edge use of 3D imaging, CT simulations, and AI-powered identification tools. He breaks down how his team uses data, technology, and standardized reporting to improve outcomes, reduce delays, and deliver what he calls the "Ritz-Carlton" experience in cardiovascular care. He also explores the systemic challenges of standardizing complex heart programs across multi-hospital health systems, especially when navigating fragmented EHR environments. From real-time simulations that reduce procedural risk to using large language models to identify high-risk patients proactively, Dr. Patel offers a pragmatic and inspiring look at the future of heart care innovation. Please tune in for a powerful discussion about leadership in cardiology, the impact of digital tools on care timelines, and what it takes to balance precision, compassion, and scale in modern medicine.
