The group will be working to develop a wireless artificial heart that can last at least 10 years.
The new recall includes five lots of medications distributed from December 2019 to April 2022. Similar products were also recalled back in March for the same reason.
“There is a need for awareness of this higher risk of CVD, and further research is warranted to identify strategies that mitigate cardiovascular risk during notable political events,” researchers explained.

A new, multi-society document, "Non-Invasive Imaging in Coronary Syndromes," focuses on how multiple imaging techniques can evaluate different aspects of coronary artery disease (CAD), all without the need for invasive angiograms.
