Gasping during cardiac arrest was associated with a nearly four-fold increase of one-year survival with favorable brain function, according to a study of 1,888 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests.

Diabetic patients with atrial fibrillation (AFib) have a lower quality of life and are at increased risk of death and hospitalization. However, they are no more likely than other AFib patients to have thromboembolic or bleeding events, despite a higher frequency of anticoagulation therapy, according to new research.

Catheter ablation (CA) is an effective way to restore sinus rhythm and reverse left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation (AFib), according to new research.

Cardiac arrest suffered in predominately black neighborhoods is associated with worse rates of survival and bystander treatment, despite quicker emergency medical services (EMS) response times, according to a new study in JAMA Cardiology.

Abbot Laboratories released a software update Aug. 23 for pacemaker and CRT-P devices. The Food & Drug Administration released a recommendation for patients to visit their healthcare providers to discuss vulnerability and updates.

Ablation led to greater quality of life improvements than drugs in patients with atrial fibrillation (AFib), according to results presented Aug. 29 at the European Society of Cardiology Congress.

A close relationship exists between the timing of left ventricular (LV) electrical activation and peak contraction in dyssynchronous heart failure patients, according to a new study.

Whether guided by robotic navigation (RN) or the hands of a physician, catheter ablations demonstrated comparable results in a study of 258 patients treated for atrial fibrillation (AFib).
