Telehealth provider raises $20M to improve cardiac rehab enrollment

The company hopes this investment will help bridge gaps in care for underserved groups.

Cardiothoracic surgeons perform UCSF's first robotic mitral valve surgery. A 3D camera allows surgeons to see the mitral valve and other structures inside the heart. Surgeons use a robotic surgical system to guide the robotic arms and movements of the surgical instruments.

Surgeons praise mobility, precision of robotically assisted mitral valve procedure

“Robotically assisted mitral valve surgery allows us to make even smaller incisions with greater precision,” one surgeon said. “By using the robotic arms, we have more degrees of articulation than with our natural wrists."

Early follow-up care boosts outcomes, including survival, among heart failure patients

Researchers tracked data from more than 450,000 patients treated over the course of 15 years, sharing their findings in JAMA Network Open.

Surgeons successfully transplant pig hearts into recently deceased humans

Surgeons at NYU Langone Health successfully transplanted two genetically engineered pigs hearts into recently deceased humans in June and July.

Study suggests an increase in patient safety for heart attack patients

Care for heart patients shows considerable improvement, but 'bold reforms' still necessary

A new analysis found that patient safety has improved for many cardiac patients—but is it enough?
