Hemodynamic valve deterioration after one year was more common in patients with a small aortic annulus. In fact, receiving a larger valve was linked to a “protective” quality that appeared to help keep the risk of such complications to a minimum.

The FDA has received multiple reports of the devices, which are designed to be malleable, failing to retain their shape. The issue has been linked to three patient injuries so far, and customers are asked to return unused devices to the manufacturer.

Temporary pacemakers are typically used for at least 24 hours before care teams consider implanting a permanent device. New research out of Canada suggests it may make sense in certain scenarios to go straight to the permanent pacemaker.

![Kidney image. About 80% of chronic kidney disease patients actually die from cardiovascular complications. Although the link between these diseases is well established, the actual biological mechanism involved has not been fully understood. But researchers at Temple University recently uncovered a key piece to this connection, where chronic kidney disease and high-fat diets combine to trigger blood vessel inflammation. Their findings are published online in Redox Biology.[1]](https://cardiovascularbusiness.com/sites/default/files/styles/media_thumbnail/public/assets/articles/Kidney-Renal.jpg?itok=WXkKy2GO)
