Paragonix SherpaPak Cardiac Transport System

An advanced preservation system from Paragonix, a Getinge company, was linked to dramatic reductions in both mortality and procedural complications. 

Patient outcomes do not appear to be negatively impacted by these risks, researchers noted. The new data were presented at Heart Rhythm 2025 and published in JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology.

Researchers explored the potential impact of more than 100 risk factors on a person's risk of sudden cardiac arrest. Some of their findings were what you may expect, but others were much more surprising.

Partho Sengupta, MD, DM, FACC, FASE, Henry Rutgers Professor of Cardiology and Chief of Cardiovascular Medicine, at Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, and Chief of the Cardiovascular Service Line at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, offers an overview of the current state of artificial intelligence (AI) in cardiology. He offers insights from what he has seen from some of the more than 160 FDA-cleared algorithms specific to cardiovascular medicine and what is in development.

Partho Sengupta, MD, shared his perspective on the current state of artificial intelligence in cardiology. The technology continues to evolve, he said, though it does still face certain limitations.

New data published in JACC represents another big win for Bayer's finerenone. The drug has previously been linked to cardiovascular benefits for patients with CKD and heart failure, but its potential across the full CKM spectrum remained a bit of a mystery.

The new resource was built to help care teams plan for ascending aorta and aortic root surgeries.

Innovation at work

Follow-up care after a successful heart transplant can be challenging—both for providers and their patients. Consider, for example, the fact that so many patients who develop complications never actually present with symptoms.
