This channel includes news on cardiovascular care delivery, including how patients are diagnosed and treated, cardiac care guidelines, policies or legislation impacting patient care, device recalls that may impact patient care, and cardiology practice management.
Remote patient monitoring helps clinicians track heart patients as they recover from major operations. One surgeon described the technology as a "game-changer," highlighting the confidence patients feel when they have "an extra set of eyes on them."
New expert recommendations from the American College of Cardiology were designed to help cardiologists, primary care physicians, emergency physicians, rheumatologists and other clinicians deliver the best care possible when managing suspected myocarditis.
Johnson & Johnson MedTech partnered with the Advanced Cardiac Therapies Improving Outcomes Network to confirm these devices could safely and effectively treat younger patients.
It's early for RAVR, but the minimally invasive technique has already started gaining momentum as an alternative to both SAVR and TAVR. We spoke to Vinay Badhwar, MD, one of the world’s leading voices in robotic heart surgery, to learn more.
The entire robotic procedure was performed through one small incision. Surgeons originally recommended the 73-year-old patient undergo open-heart surgery, but she requested a less invasive alternative.
A new risk score shows potential to help cardiologists predict the risk of some TAVR complications before they happen, guiding important treatment decisions.
Deaths related to obesity have skyrocketed in the United States, especially among men. However, researchers identified positive progress when it came to the mortality rates for CVD, ischemic heart disease and heart failure/cardiomyopathy.
Patient outcomes, safety data and physician feedback were all used to rank the top children's hospitals for pediatric cardiology and heart surgery in the United States. Did your facility make the cut?
The Accelerating Kids' Access to Care Act would expand Medicaid access for pediatric patients so that it covers interventional cardiologists outside of their home states.
Today's heart teams already face a number of challenges on a day-to-day basis. New data suggest they could soon be treating more patients than ever before.
Several key trends were evident at the Radiological Society of North America 2024 meeting, including new CT and MR technology and evolving adoption of artificial intelligence.
Ron Blankstein, MD, professor of radiology, Harvard Medical School, explains the use of artificial intelligence to detect heart disease in non-cardiac CT exams.
