CardioExchange in 2010

Happy New Year! On behalf of everyone at CardioExchange, I want to thank you for being part of our experiment. I hope that all of you have seen the potential for what a community of cardiologists led by a group of independent experts can do to improve patient care.

CardioExchange is still very much a work in progress, and we realize that many of you are still trying to figure out what this site is and what needs it fulfills in your busy days. And we know that many of you have been confused about where to find information on CardioExchange and have experienced technical problems. We apologize for the problems and appreciate your patience. We’re working aggressively to correct those glitches (especially for people using older browsers) over the coming weeks. We also have several enhancements to tell you about:

  • Starting today, we’re adding summaries of the key cardiology news from Larry Husten–editor of theheart.org from 1999 through 2008, and now the sole creator of CardioBrief.
  • We’re enhancing our case discussion series to be led by James Fang, MD, of Case Western University. We’re looking to discuss the vexing cases that trouble us day in and day out, where the data and guidelines are unclear or contradictory. See our current case, for which we’ll be bringing expert views in soon. Or send us a case to discuss.
  • In the coming weeks, we’ll be making it easier for you to invite friends and colleagues to join CardioExchange.
  • We’ll be implementing a complete redesign to the site–with improved navigation–by late winter.
  • We’ll be adding new groups beyond our current three of Prevention, Interventional Cardiology, and Fellowship Training by the time of the American College of Cardiology meeting.

CardioExchange will continue to be a work in progress, and we hope that you will come along with us to help shape this independent and exciting space for our profession. It will only reach its potential with the participation of you and your colleagues.

Best wishes to you and yours in 2010.
