Surgical risk scores & TAVR | Red meat linked to heart damage | $3.67M to develop a new AFib treatment

Recent TAVR research suggests clinicians should focus on other key factors such as the patient's age and life expectancy. 

Researchers relied on imaging data from nearly 20,000 UK Biobank participants to reach their conclusion.

The grant, from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, is for more than $462,000 at first. An additional $3.21 million can be earned if certain requirements are met.
