Competency-based cardiac imaging delivery is needed for effective and efficient patient care, according to a European Society of Cardiology (ESC) statement published today in European Heart Journal, a journal of the ESC.
All seven ESC subspeciality associations have endorsed the document, namely the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging , Association of Cardiovascular Nursing & Allied Professions , Association for Acute CardioVascular Care , European Association of Preventive Cardiology , European Association of Percutaneous Cardiovascular Interventions , European Heart Rhythm Association and Heart Failure Association of the ESC.
Delivery of high-quality cardiac imaging services requires expertise in imaging methodology and an in-depth knowledge of heart disease. Cardiologists are well positioned to meet both of these needs.

This puts them in a unique position to select the most appropriate imaging test for each clinical scenario, taking patient preferences into account.
A focus on specialty-based rather than competency-based delivery of cardiac imaging services has been one of the major barriers to the wider adoption of fundamental diagnostic tests in many countries. In a report published this year, the European Society of Cardiovascular Radiology and European Society of Radiology outlined their vision of cardiac radiology in Europe which emphasized the need to increase cardiac imaging expertise and capacity amongst radiologists.
