All over the United States, countless research projects designed to improve outcomes have lost funding or been shut down. Even screening efforts targeting patients in impoverished communities have been impacted by these policies.

Researchers explored more than 52 years of data, highlighting several key trends in the Journal of the American Heart Association.

A team of biomedical engineers, radiologists and cardiologists has developed a new AI model capable of restoring low-quality cardiac MRI scans.

According to early real-world data, the FDA-approved Evoque TTVR device is associated with positive outcomes when used to treat severe tricuspid regurgitation. 

Ticagrelor, an antiplatelet medication from AstraZeneca commonly prescribed by cardiologists, gained FDA approval back in 2011. The author of a new investigative report, however, is raising several concerns about the data used to secure that approval.

Semaglutide, tirzepatide and other GLP-1 drugs appear to provide significant value for patients with moderate PAD.

GE HealthCare has warned that the devices could potentially be accessed and manipulated by an outside party. The FDA has classified this as a Class II recall. 

SCAI and other healthcare groups want changes made to how healthcare providers are paid after performing office-based lab procedures. "As much as we love delivering care as doctors, if we are losing money doing something, we cannot sustain it," one cardiologist explained. 

A popular meditation technique may help high-risk patients protect their hearts for up to 10 years, according to a new randomized controlled trial published in Frontiers in Medicine.

The scanner requires just 0.7 liters of liquid helium for cooling—a fraction of the more than 1,500 liters standard systems need to operate safely. 

The legal case brought by all 50 states, Washington D.C., and multiple U.S. territories against Purdue Pharma and the Sackler family has come to an end, with settlement funds set to be used for addiction recovery.
