“If together we do not just hope for, but demand, adequate representation as a necessary criterion for high-quality studies worthy of adoption into practice, we will have a real shot at achieving true equity in our trials," cardiologists said in a new commentary.

Heart Rhythm Society President Jodie Hurwitz, MD, told Cardiovascular Business that pulsed field ablation was one of the hottest topics at Heart Rhythm 2024. It may be early, she said, but the technology is already making an impact. 

San Francisco-based WearLinq says the acquisition will help its six-lead ECG technology reach more heart patients throughout the United States.   

Cardiologist Jerry Blackwell, MD, president and CEO of MedAxiom, believes cardiologist can't just focus on clinical decisions, as they also must be aware the financial ramifications. 

According to a whistleblower, Cape Cod Hospital performed hundreds of TAVR procedures without following specific government requirements.

The new algorithm from Implicity evaluates implantable device data and monitors patients for changes that suggest they could experience severe heart failure symptoms in the near future. It was designed to alert clinicians up to weeks in advance.

One of the biggest decisions in a cardiologist's life is knowing when, exactly, to start a family. Nandita S. Scott, MD, co-director of the Corrigan Women's Heart Health Program at Mass General Hospital, shared her perspective on this important topic. 

Researchers tracked data from more than 600 patients, noting that heart teams may want to reconsider how they classify residual TR after treatment.
