“Unlike expensive pharmaceuticals like Ozempic, which require lifetime use, time-restricted eating is a simple lifestyle change that does not cause side effects and can be maintained indefinitely,” one doctor explained.
A CT scan used for a radiation therapy treatment plan for breast cancer shows the close proximity of the heart, which can suffer collateral damage from radiation and chemotherapy treatments for cancer.
Older cancer survivors appear to face higher risks of stroke, heart attack and heart failure. Early screening and preventative measures can help.
Elucid's AI analysis software in action. The left image shows coronary CT angiography of a vessel showing plaque heavy calcium burden. The right image, processed by Elucid's software, highlights the various types of plaque morphology of these lesions.
Elucid's PlaqueIQ was trained to turn CCTA images into interactive 3D reports that help physicians visualize the presence of atherosclerosis.

Early data suggest the J-Valve transcatheter heart valve could help care teams avoid a rare, but often fatal TAVR complication when treating high-risk patients.
Today's heart teams already face a number of challenges on a day-to-day basis. New data suggest they could soon be treating more patients than ever before.
The Endotronix Cordella Pulmonary Artery (PA) Sensor System, which uses PA pressure-guided therapy to manage and treat heart failure patients.
The new Cordella device from Endotronix, now an Edwards Lifesciences company, uses an implantable device to track the patient's pulmonary artery pressure and other helpful health data.
Interventional cardiologists use the ShortCut device to split valve leaflets in patients who have been recommended for valve-in-valve TAVR and face a heightened coronary obstruction risk. Image courtesy of Pi-Cardia.
ShortCut, which gained the FDA’s breakthrough device designation back in January, is used to split valve leaflets and reduce the risk of obstruction.
The newly approved radiotracer is seen as a major step forward for nuclear imaging technology. Specialists have been looking forward to its arrival on the market for quite some time.
Cardiac ablation techniques and technologies are constantly evolving. Only well-trained specialists should be performing these procedures, the Heart Rhythm Society said in a new policy statement.
![Performing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with the J-Valve transcatheter heart valve (THV) may help limit the risk of coronary artery obstruction (CAO) in high-risk patients, according to a new study published in Clinical Interventions in Aging.[1]](/sites/default/files/styles/top_stories/public/2024-10/screenshot_2024-10-01_at_2.16.21_pm.png.webp?itok=kSiGReBW)
