Key approvals for Abbott & Medtronic | Just 3.6% of TAVR procedures performed by women | HF & cirrhosis

Giving a 'clinician team roster' to patients is an easy way to make a big impact, researchers found. 

The device was designed to treat patients facing a heightened risk of recurrent stroke.

The approval comes as more and more specialists embrace a radial-first approach to treating acute coronary syndrome. 

In addition, researchers noted, there were no female specialists performing TAVR in 19 states. 

When hospitalized heart failure patients also have cirrhosis of the liver, they may require "increased resources to assist in caring for them."

The new method is expected to speed up image acquisition while providing clinicians with key data. 

The new study examines yet another way the pandemic impacted cardiovascular care. 

“The choice of intervention in patients with CKD and aortic stenosis is complex and influenced by multiple competing factors," researchers said. 

Closer monitoring for uncontrolled hypertension is recommended for women ages 70 and older and men under the age of 50.

Researchers examined data from nearly 800 patients, looking for any links between age and COVID-related complications. 

Innovation in the transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) space has upped the ante once again.
