AI correctly IDs ventricular arrhythmias in 88% of patients with sustained VT

New research suggests AI could offer physicians a new, state-of-the-art approach to sudden cardiac arrest risk management.

The DurAVR transcatheter heart valve (THV), developed by Minnesota-based Anteris Technologies

New biomimetic TAVR valve, the first of its kind, linked to strong performance after 1 year

The DurAVR transcatheter heart valve, developed by Minnesota-based Anteris Technologies, was designed to move and perform like a healthy, pre-disease native aortic valve.

Imaging results more helpful than genetics when predicting heart disease, new head-to-head study confirms

The new analysis, published in JAMA, suggests that CT results can help identify medium- and high-risk patients who may need to be considered for statin therapy or other preventive treatments.

Daniel Cantillon, MD, said the first leadless, dual-chamber pacing system performed very well in the Aveir dual-chamber i2i trial. #HRS #HRS23

Early success of dual-chamber leadless pacemaker suggests big changes could be on the horizon

Daniel Cantillon, MD, explained why the positive performance of Abbott's Aveir dual-chamber leadless pacemaker could lead to considerable improvements in patient care.

A leadless pacemaker the size of a grain of rice delivers cardiac resynchronization therapy

Results from a pivotal clinical trial presented as a late-breaker at Heart Rhythm 2023 indicate that a new leadless pacemaker technology can deliver cardiac resynchronization therapy in patients who were not able to be treated with conventional CRT and epicardial leads.

Left bundle branch pacing emerges as an alternative to biventricular pacing in two late-breaking trials

The use of left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) is growing in electrophysiology implanted devices. Two late-breaking studies at Heart Rhythm 2023 highlight the success of LBBAP as an alternative to the standard of care using biventricular pacing.

FDA grants fast track designation to Bayer’s new drug for preventing stroke in AFib patients

The new drug, asundexian, is currently the subject of two multicenter Phase III studies—the OCEANIC-AF trial and OCEANIC-STROKE trial—focused on its safety and efficacy.

AFib ablation in young adults linked to improved quality of life, new Cleveland Clinic study confirms

“These and other data support that young adults do as well as a more traditional patient population when looking at arrhythmia-free survival,” researchers wrote.

Ron Blankstein, MD, professor of radiology, Harvard Medical School, explains the use of artificial intelligence to detect heart disease in non-cardiac CT exams.

Eleven medical societies have signed on to a consensus statement aimed at standardizing imaging for suspected cardiovascular infections.
