This Class II recall was initiated due to a risk of clinicians encountering issues when deploying the Trilogy Transcatheter Heart Valve System. 

The healthcare giant's shift in strategy puts an increased focus on systems used by electrophysiologists and interventional cardiologists to manage and treat cardiovascular disease.

The experimental technology could help clinicians perform CABG procedures without needing to harvest vessels from the patient.

The next-generation surgical device from Corcym was associated with consistent durability and positive safety data. For example, freedom from structural valve deterioration was seen in 99.7% of patients.

Cardiology services for approximately 50,000 patients are in the middle of an ongoing legal battle. New York Sen. Jim Tedisco is now publicly calling for New York. Gov. Kathy Hochul to step in and help. 

New codes for these technologies have made a world of difference for clinicians. Reimbursement for the use of AI is an area where cardiology is far ahead of most other healthcare specialties.

Even as AI is used more and more in the field, cardiologists and other clinicians are at the heart of patient care. 

3D models can improve the visualization of challenging cardiac anatomy in addition to supporting clinical decision-making, education and procedural planning.

Researchers tracked data from more than 480,000 U.K. Biobank participants, using cardiac MRI scans to identify signs of inflammation. 

Authorities say the warning pertains to the Lumify line of diagnostic sonography systems, with a software issue potentially halting functionality during critical care scenarios.  

New findings emphasize the importance of including the specialty in discussions about treatment pathways, resource allocation and alternative payment models.
