Abbott’s FreeStyle Libre 3 integrated continuous glucose monitoring (iCGM) system

Abbott’s newest glucose monitoring device gains FDA clearance

The news comes after Abbott had to recall more than 4.2 million older glucose monitoring systems due to issues with batteries overheating. 

Marielle Scherrer Crosbie and Tomas Neilan explain the STOP-CA trial and how statins can help prevent cardiotoxicity from anthracycline chemo agents.

Statins may help prevent anthracycline cardiotoxicity in chemotherapy

The STOP-CA trial showed that statins can help chemotherapy patients avoid potential side effects related to anthracycline agents. Co-principal investigators Marielle Scherrer-Crosbie, MD, and Tomas Neilan, MD, discussed the details of that trial at ACC.23.

What is the ROI for upgrading nuclear cardiology labs?

Some nuclear cardiology labs are still using SPECT systems that are 20-25 years old. Is it time to make an upgrade? 

Age more helpful than weight when screening for diabetes

While the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force still uses weight to guide its screening recommendations, new research suggests focusing on age alone provides more value.
