This is the second FDA-cleared transcatheter repair device for the mitral valve. Data from pivotal trial comparing Pascal vs. MitraClip will be presented at TCT 2022.

Joao Cavalcante, MD, director, cardiac MRI and structural CT labs, Minneapolis Heart Institute, discusses the use of cardiac CT imaging to plan and guide structural heart procedures. 

“This procedure potentially solves the problem of a growing valve,” the lead surgeon said. “If we can eliminate the need for multiple open-heart surgeries every time a child outgrows an old valve, we could be extending the life of that child by potentially decades or more.”

Progestin-only products may be a "safer alternative" for this patient population, according to a new analysis. 

Three medical journals are investigating possible manipulation of data in heart studies led by researchers from Temple University that found favorable health impacts of blood thinners.

The biggest news from the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology (ASNC) 2022 meeting was positive late-breaking data on the phase 3 Aurora trial for the flurpiridaz (F-18) PET radiotracer agent.

The complexity of the mitral valve has slowed development of new transcatheter technologies, and it now seems much more likely that transcatheter devices for tricuspid valve will push ahead to gain FDA clearances.

Researchers examined data from nearly 31,000 adult patients hospitalized with COVID-19, sharing their findings in Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology.

There is an established connection between MR and HFrEF, but we know much less about the link between MR and HFpEF. 

Briefly trained in point-of-care cardiac ultrasound, 72% of second-year medical students obtained clinical-quality views from a mannequin and 61% made the correct diagnosis in a volunteer simulated patient.

Hospitals are facing some of the tightest financial pressures of the past several years and expecting billions in losses for 2022.

Julius Bogdan, vice president and general manager of the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) Digital Health Advisory Team for North America, explains the use of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to help address health disparities and the rise of healthcare consumerism.

Burnout is a growing problem across the healthcare industry, and physicians are feeling symptoms worse than ever as the COVID-19 pandemic stretches on.

CBD is generally viewed as a safe, well-tolerated treatment option, but there is still limited research on how it interacts with other medications commonly prescribed by cardiologists. 

Massachusetts has the highest vaccination rate in the United States, according to a recent ranking from WalletHub.
