The new partnership is focused on getting advanced AI algorithms into the hands of cardiologists.

When PCI patients present with complex lesions, optical coherence tomography may provide significant value.

“No clear recommendation currently exists in U.S. or European guidelines for performing PCI in addition to TAVR,” researchers wrote. The group hoped its study could provide some clarity. 

HeartKey Rhythm was designed to help care teams keep up with the rising amount of ECG data they receive on a regular basis.

Many of these exams are ultimately deemed normal, and their results often do not affect how patients’ headaches are managed. 

The study, presented at ESC Congress 2024 in London, confirmed that TAVR was associated with significantly better outcomes than surgery when treating female patients. 

According to new MODULAR ATP data, the leadless system was associated with a high success rate and few complications. Boston Scientific plans on seeking FDA approval in 2025. 

Cardio-rheumatology clinics use a heart team-like approach to enhance care for patients with chronic conditions such as lupus, psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis. "It's not just about cardiology," the director of one clinic explains. "We work closely with rheumatologists, dermatologists and even primary care physicians to provide comprehensive care."

Complications are also down after SAVR, researchers noted, though the drop has been much more dramatic for TAVR patients. The new analysis was based on Medicare data from more than 210,000 patients.

PAD patients with a strong social support system were associated with better outcomes in a new analysis published in the Journal of Vascular Surgery.
