Cardiologists believe this is the first time this exact complication has been reported. Even patients who present with no known risk factors, they said, should receive regular follow-up care to ensure such incidents do not go untreated.
The patient, who was primarily eating meat, cheese and entire sticks of butter, said the yellow nodules did not hurt in any way. His cholesterol level exceeded 1000 mg/dL at the time of treatment.
Rakesh Gopinathannair, MD, lead author of a recent American Heart Association scientific statement on cardiac arrhythmias associated with COVID-19, reviewed the latest science associated with this important topic.
Rebecca Hahn, MD, discussed key takeaways from the TRISCEND II trial for the Edwards Lifesciences Evoque TTVR valve and shared additional details related to patient selection and implanting the device.

The first patient has been enrolled in a new study of an optimized lead for LBBAP, an area with an explosion of interest in EP as a way to improve patient outcomes.
"This research should be a call to health systems, policymakers and other stakeholders to make it easier for patients—especially the most vulnerable patients—to access PAD-specific care," one cardiologist explained.
Clyde Yancy, MD, spoke with Cardiovascular Business about how the treatment of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has evolved in recent years.
Several key trends were evident at the Radiological Society of North America 2024 meeting, including new CT and MR technology and evolving adoption of artificial intelligence.
Ron Blankstein, MD, professor of radiology, Harvard Medical School, explains the use of artificial intelligence to detect heart disease in non-cardiac CT exams.
