Researchers used advanced AI to see if any FDA-approved medications could potentially reverse one of the mutations behind dilated cardiomyopathy. Risedronate, a popular osteoporosis medication, is the one candidate that got the job done.
These findings show that opportunistic imaging could go a long way toward making more patients aware of the cardiovascular risks they face—all without requiring additional scans to be performed.
No devices need to be returned at this time. However, the FDA warned, using these heart pumps without reviewing the updated instructions could result in "serious injury or death.”
A trio of leading voices in cardiology reviewed years of data while considering their proposal. The choice between TAVR and SAVR, they added, should be made on a case-by-case basis.

The next-generation catheter was designed to help clinicians restore blood flow safely and effectively after patients have experienced an acute ischemic stroke.
The team hopes to develop a model that will estimate a patient's risk of major cardiovascular events and predict when such events are most likely to occur.
