More and more people are receiving their vaccines, but it is still crucial to limit the spread of COVID-19 in as many ways as possible. 

After tracking data for nearly 800 professional athletes, the researchers found that no adverse cardiac events were reported after a mild or asymptomatic COVID-19 infection.

Overall, Medicare providers missed out on approximately $9.4 billion in the first 6 months of 2020. 

The new meta-analysis included data from 56 different studies, covering patients from 30 countries. 

“The Ross procedure should be considered in young and middle-aged adults who need AVR and can be referred to dedicated centers with expertise in this operation,” researchers explained. 

The pretest probability score produced false-negative rates below 1% and dropped imaging use by about 20%, according to a new JAMA Cardiology study. 

The new study, published by the American Journal of Cardiology, suggests that frailty could be a helpful predictor for major bleeding events after PCI.

The study included data from nearly 17 million adults who received treatment from 2005 to 2011. Researchers compared the stroke rates of patients with atrial fibrillation and those without it. 

Illegal photos were also found on the cardiologist's phone after police officers raided his home. 

After two years, TAVR was still linked to a reduction in the study’s primary endpoint, but it was also associated with a greater risk of valve thrombosis.
