Abstract

Heart disease remains the world’s leading cause of death, yet health systems struggle to deploy technology at the scale needed to change this reality. In this seminar, Dr. Vimal Ramjee will share insights from building one of the nation’s largest AI-enabled cardiovascular CT programs, integrating predictive imaging, streamlined workflows, and enterprise strategy to close the gap between innovation and patient care. He will explore how these initiatives, paired with broader American Heart Association efforts, provide a roadmap for tackling humanity’s greatest health challenge through responsible AI adoption and scalable care transformation.
