The Next Battleground in Cardiology: Continuous Intelligence
Editor’s Note: Cardiology is entering its most transformational phase yet the shift from episodic diagnostics to continuous, AI-driven intelligence. November made one thing clear: the future will not be defined by a single modality, but by platforms that connect remote monitoring, electrophysiology, imaging, and decision support into a unified, real-time cardiovascular operating system.
Here’s what moved the market and why every investor, operator, and clinical leader is watching this space closely.
Remote Monitoring Steps Into the Spotlight
RPM Gains Clinical Momentum
A December analysis from HCPLive highlighted the growing body of evidence that remote patient monitoring (RPM) improves preventive cardiology, chronic disease management, and patient engagement. RPM is no longer a digital-health niche it’s becoming core cardiovascular infrastructure.

New Clinical Data Validates AI Models
At the AHA 2025 Scientific Sessions, Anumana presented multiple late-breaking studies demonstrating the power of ECG-based AI models in heart failure and arrhythmia prediction.
This marks one of the strongest scientific signals yet that ECG AI is maturing into clinical-grade decision support and positioning itself as a fundamental layer in cardiovascular diagnostics.

Imaging AI Continues to Accelerate
A New Player Enters the Coronary AI Market
Circle Cardiovascular Imaging (Circle CVI) secured FDA 510(k) clearance for its cvi42 | Plaque platform an on-premise coronary plaque analysis tool designed to streamline workflow and enhance interpretability.
This positions Circle alongside HeartFlow and Cleerly in the rapidly expanding coronary AI race, and reinforces how competitive the imaging landscape has become.

Workflow AI Becomes Strategic Infrastructure
ACC Partners With OpenEvidence
Perhaps the most important signal of the month: The American College of Cardiology (ACC) announced a partnership with OpenEvidence to bring generative AI directly into real-time cardiovascular decision pathways.
This marks the beginning of AI as clinical infrastructure not a standalone tool, but a layer that shapes diagnostic speed, treatment plans, and payer-facing documentation.

What November Taught the Market
November delivered a new truth: Cardiology is becoming AI-native.
Three themes now define where capital and clinical adoption are heading:
1. Continuous monitoring beats episodic diagnosis
From ECG patches to connected sensors, the market is shifting toward long-horizon datasets that enable prediction not reaction.
2. EP is the next frontier for AI-driven transformation
Arrhythmia detection, ablation planning, and risk modeling are rapidly becoming algorithmically augmented domains.
3. Decision support will determine platform dominance
The systems that win will be those that connect data → insight → workflow → reimbursement.
The 2026 Playbook Is Taking Shape
The companies pulling away from the pack are those that turn signals into decisions, decisions into efficiency, and efficiency into economics.
For investors and operators alike, the message is clear: Continuous intelligence is the new competitive advantage in cardiovascular care.
