Society of Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) President Srihari S. Naidu, MD, professor of medicine at New York Medical College, explains the SCAI initiative to improve outcomes in cardiogenic shock by monitoring and lowering patient lactate levels.

SCAI feels this is the best way forward to try lowering mortality rates, but the group is asking cardiologists to help by gathering more data. 

The agreement also will make Boston Scientific the exclusive distributor for the new ICE catheter optimized for left atrial appendage occlusion workflows.

The U.S. Food and Drug Adminstration (FDA) granted 510(k) clearance for the latest release of Philips Healthcare's Cardiovascular Workspace imaging and information management system. It enables cloud-hosted availability and software-as-a-Service (SaaS) deployment.

The cloud-enabled system provides the foundation for future AI-enabled tools, better workflows and analytics.

Right ventricle MRI marker independently predicts heart failure

Experts recently have become more interested in measurements of strain as predictive markers of adverse cardiac outcomes in the general population and across several pathologies.

Physicians often tell AFib patients they should limit coffee consumption to protect their hearts. This new analysis, however, suggests that may not be necessary.

Researchers used AI-enabled software developed by Cleerly to evaluate the CCTA results of more than 6,000 patients. The software was consistently effective, identifying patients who may face an increased risk of poor outcomes.
