When patients present with STEMI-related cardiogenic shock, treatment with the Impella CP appears to make a positive impact that lasts for at least a decade.

Newsweek ranked the 50 best heart hospitals in the world

CMS has proposed a policy shift that would allow cardiac ablation procedures to be performed in ambulatory surgical centers. Arash Aryana, MD, PhD, a veteran cardiac electrophysiologist, explained why he is "extremely encouraged" by this proposal, highlighting several potential benefits.

“FDA clearance comes at the perfect time, with guidelines being adopted clinically for cardiac CT and with positive reimbursement driving procedure growth," says Jean-Luc Procaccini, CEO, molecular imaging and CT.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted pre-market approval (PMA) for the Globe Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) System, and 510(k) clearance for both the Globe introducer sheath and the Globe Pulsed Field System mapping software from Kardium Inc. This add another competitor in the growing U.S. PFA market to treat atrial fibrillation (AFib).

It is the only integrated system that combines high-density mapping and PFA in a single device. The system uses a 122-electrode spherical array to enable rapid, single-shot pulmonary vein isolation, helping to streamline workflows.

Toby Rogers, MD, PhD, associate professor of medicine Georgetown University, and interventional cardiologist at MedStar Heart and Vascular Institute Structural Heart Disease program, explains how the transcatheter electrosurgical procedures for transcaval access, SESAME, LAMPOON and BASILICA has helped large numbers of patients receive transcatheter heart valves who otherwise would have been disqualified due to anatomical issues.

the words "FDA recall" on a board

More than 100,000 surgical devices are included in these recalls, and there may be "limited product availability" in the months ahead. The FDA first warned the public about this issue in August.

New research suggests AI could offer physicians a new, state-of-the-art approach to sudden cardiac arrest risk management.

The DurAVR transcatheter heart valve (THV), developed by Minnesota-based Anteris Technologies

The DurAVR transcatheter heart valve, developed by Minnesota-based Anteris Technologies, was designed to move and perform like a healthy, pre-disease native aortic valve.

The proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare includes numerous algorithms for electrophysiology (EP). Jagmeet Singh, MD, Professor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School, and founding director of the Resynchronization and Advanced Cardiac Therapeutics Program and Mass General Hospital, spoke with Cardiovascular Business at Heart Rhythm 2023 to explain how AI is being used in EP. #HRS2023 #HRS #AI

There are now numerous AI algorithms for electrophysiology. Jagmeet Singh, MD, examined how this advanced technology is being applied.
