The ELM Selection Committee chose 12 individuals based on their leadership potential and motivation to excel regionally and nationally in the fields of clinical care, scholarship, education, and/or advocacy. The chosen inductees are a diverse group of adult and pediatric interventional cardiologists from the United States and other parts of the world.
The 2024-2026 ELM class includes:
Karim Al-Azizi, MD, FSCAI
Rhian E. Davies, DO, MS, FACC, FSCAI
Alexander Fanaroff, MD, MHS
Kashish Goel, MBBS, FSCAI
J. Antonio Gutierrez, MD, MHS, FSCAI
Dhaval Kolte, MD, PhD, FSCAI
Jun Li, PhD, FSCAI
Jennifer Rymer, MD, MBA, MHS
Arash Salavitabar, MD, FSCAI
Sanjum Sethi, MD, MPH, FSCAI
Nadia Sutton, MD, MPH, FSCAI
Michael N. Young, MD, FSCAI, RPVI
ELM training provides essential mentorship to early-career physicians, covering all aspects of their profession. The program offers various opportunities for participants to expand their leadership and presentation skills, foster relationships, stay updated on emerging trends, and develop their professional niche. The mentors are carefully selected based on the participants' interests and aspirations.
“Mentorship is an essential aspect of building a successful and impactful career in the field of interventional cardiology, and early career is the critical stage to ensure these relationships develop,” said SCAI President George D. Dangas, MD, PhD, MSCAI. “That’s why SCAI is proud to offer this fellowship program with the goal of assisting future leaders in making ongoing and perpetual contributions to the field, even long after the program has ended.”

LONG BEACH (May 4, 2024) Today, the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions (SCAI) announced its 2025 Master Interventionalists of SCAI (MSCAI) designation recipients during the SCAI 2025 Scientific Sessions in Long Beach.
The MSCAI designation is awarded to individuals who have demonstrated excellence in invasive/interventional cardiology over the course of their career and for their commitment to the highest levels of clinical care, innovation, publication, and teaching.
This year’s MSCAI ...
LONG BEACH (May 4, 2024) James B. Hermiller, MD, MSCAI, director of the Interventional Cardiology Fellowship and the Structural Heart Program at St. Vincent Ascension Heart Center in Indianapolis, IN, assumed the office of president of the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions (SCAI) today during the closing ceremonies at the SCAI 2024 Scientific Sessions in Long Beach, CA.
An interventional cardiologist, researcher, and teacher, Hermiller has been an author, leading enroller, primary investigator, and steering committee member in many transcatheter therapy studies, including multiple pivotal trials of structural heart disease. ...
About The Study: Racial and ethnic disparities were observed for almost all leading causes of injury and disease that were associated with recent increases in youth mortality rates. Addressing the increasing disparities affecting American Indian or Alaska Native and Black youth will require efforts to prevent homicide and suicide, especially those events involving firearms.
Authors: Elizabeth R. Wolf, M.D., M.P.H., of the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine in Richmond, is the corresponding author.

LONG BEACH (May 4, 2024) Interventional cardiology's future success relies on a diverse workforce that will help to positively impact patient outcomes. Now in its second year, SCAI’s Ready to Launch program introduces the interventional cardiology field to a diverse group of medical students at all levels, providing hands-on experience and mentorship opportunities. The program is hosted annually during SCAI Scientific Sessions with participation from local medical schools.

Tokyo, Japan – Scientists from Tokyo Metropolitan University have created a new model for disordered materials to study how amorphous materials resist stress. They treated groups of atoms and molecules as squishy spheres with varying softness. Putting their model under a load, they discovered unexpected disparities between harder regions and where forces were concentrated, with areas in between such regions “hardening” to produce elongated “force chains”. Their findings promise new insights into designing better materials.
When it comes to building hard materials, using hard ingredients is not enough. For example, when concrete fails during ...
HOUSTON ― Cancer survivors and tennis legends Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova participated in a fireside-style chat on Wednesday, May 1, at The University of Texas
MD Anderson Cancer Center’s signature event, A Conversation with a Living Legend ®, hosted at the Post Oak Hotel at Uptown Houston. The sold-out event raised more than $1.5 million for cell therapy research at MD Anderson with a ticketed audience of 800+.
Past Living Legend honoree and co-anchor of ABC’s Good Morning America, Robin Roberts, led the onstage interview with Evert and Navratilova, and ABC13 Houston’s ...
Record-setting storms in 2023 filled California’s major reservoirs to the brim, providing some relief in a decades-long drought, but how much of that record rain trickled underground?
Shujuan Mao of Stanford University and her colleagues used a surprising technique to answer this question for the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area. They analyzed changes in the velocity of seismic waves traveling through the LA basin, tracking these changes in space and time between January and October 2023.
As Mao reported at the Seismological Society of America (SSA)’s 2024 Annual Meeting, ...
Researchers from North Carolina State University and the University of Pittsburgh studied how the spin information of an electron, called a pure spin current, moves through chiral materials. They found that the direction in which the spins are injected into chiral materials affects their ability to pass through them. These chiral “gateways” could be used to design energy-efficient spintronic devices for data storage, communication and computing.
Spintronic devices harness the spin of an electron, rather than its charge, to create current and move information through electronic devices.
“One of the goals in spintronics ...
Researchers from the University of Portsmouth have unveiled a quantum sensing scheme that achieves the pinnacle of quantum sensitivity in measuring the transverse displacement between two interfering photons.
This new technique has the potential to enhance superresolution imaging techniques that already employ single-photon sources as probes for the localization and tracking of biological samples, such as single-molecule localization microscopy with quantum dots.
Traditionally, achieving ultra-high precision in nanoscopic techniques has been constrained by the limitations of standard imaging methods, such as the diffraction limit ...

EAST LANSING, Mich. – Reforestation efforts to restock depleted forests are important for addressing climate change and for both capturing and restoring carbon from the Earth’s atmosphere. These types of solutions to mitigate carbon emissions are critical after 2023 proved to be the warmest year on record. However, some models have been found to be inaccurate.
New research from Michigan State University has found the carbon removal potential of some reforestation models have been over exaggerated ...
