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.
Both patients and physicians were impacted by the incident, with outside forces gaining access to everything from names and social security numbers to banking information.
A care team in Germany has completed what may be the first structural heart procedure of its kind on a high-risk patient. It started as a straightforward heterotopic caval valve implantation, but then paravalvular leak resulted in a change of plans.
The new expert consensus decision pathway replaces a similar document from 2019 and is to be used in conjunction with heart failure guidelines published in 2022 by the ACC, American Heart Association and Heart Failure Society of America.
The Digital Health Advisory Committee is tasked with providing perspective and recommendations on a wide variety of topics. These insights will then help the FDA draft new policies and make other important decisions.
Novolink Health, previously known as Duxlink Health, has a decade of experience treating high-risk, high-cost patients from the comfort of their own homes. It will now function as a division within Florida-based Cardiovascular Associates of America.
Individuals are 83% more likely to be diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder within one year of a CVD hospitalization, according to new data published in the Journal of the American Heart Association.
This partnership reflects NextGen Healthcare’s deepening commitment to supporting cardiology practices nationwide. Research shows that nearly 50 percent of adults in the United States have some form of cardiovascular disease today—a rate expected to grow to 61 percent by 2050.
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.
