Noninvasive coronary CT angiography is growing more and more important as time goes on, helping cardiologists make critical treatment decisions. Carlos Collet, MD, PhD, discussed the technique's potential to be a real game-changer for patient care in a new interview. 

Taking melatonin for a year could increase a person's risk of developing heart failure by 90%. While more research is still needed to confirm these findings, the data suggest patients should think twice about relying on melatonin to sleep. 

A system-wide initiative in Sweden helped hospitals reduce readmission rates and shorten lengths of stay. When it came to heart failure patients specifically, however, the changes barely made an impact.

Highly anticipated trial data comparing mechanical thrombectomy to anticoagulation alone for intermediate- and high-risk pulmonary embolism showed that the more aggressive strategy improved outcomes.

In fact, researchers wrote, MAC appears to influence a patient's odds of developing HFpEF even more than their BMI.

Medicare claims submitted between 2017 and 2022 showed a 712% increase in thrombectomy for pulmonary embolism (PE) and a 137% increase in thrombectomy for deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
