Up to 30% of U.S. patients carry genetic variations that reduce the effectiveness of clopidogrel (Plavix) in preventing heart attacks. These patients can easily be identified through genetic testing, but current guidelines do not have any recommendations to do so. A commentary published in the Journal of the American Heart Association from a group of U.S. and European researchers is now calling for future guidelines to incorporate recommendations for CYP2C19 genotyping. prescription drugs

New temporary pacing system for TAVR launches in US

New pacing system is designed to streamline TAVR cath lab workflows, cut procedural steps and increase reliability.

READ MORE >
The SoloPace Fusion Temporary Pacing System from Solo Pace Inc. is deigned to eliminate the need for right ventricular (RV) lead placement, which requires the added procedural step to gaining venous access. This can cut procedure time and mitigate possible complication risks. For interventional cardiologists using improvised left ventricular (LV) pacing, this system can replace ad-hoc clip assemblies, subcutaneous needles and exposed wire connections, which are known sources of inconsistent pace capture.
