Endotronix, an Illinois-based healthcare technology company, has gained U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval for its Cordella Pulmonary Artery (PA) Sensor System, which uses PA pressure-guided therapy to manage and treat heart failure patients.

FDA approves new pulmonary artery sensor for heart failure

The Cordella platform from Endotronix includes an implantable sensor that tracks the patient’s PA pressure and other helpful health data.

Vivek Reddy, MD, Director, Cardiac Arrhythmia Service, and the Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust Professor of Medicine in Cardiac Electrophysiology, at Mount Sinai in New York, was involved in most of the late-breaking pulsed field ablation (PFA) trials at the Heart Rhythm Society (HRS) 2024 meeting. He offers an overview of the new data presented and his observations from using PFA. #HRS24 #HRS2024 #PFA #EPeeps

The future of electrophysiology: Reviewing key trends in PFA

Vivek Reddy, MD, was involved in most of the late-breaking pulsed field ablation trials at Heart Rhythm 2024. He spoke to Cardiovascular Business at the conference about those trials and what they mean going forward.

AI can help cardiologists predict death after TAVR—but there is a catch

It's clear that advanced AI algorithms will radically transform care for TAVR patients in the years ahead. For now, however, certain AI models may require too much data to be helpful on a consistent basis. 

How patients' focus affects data derived from functional MRI scans

As a person’s concentration dwindles during resting state or task-based sequences, the resultant brain activity observed on imaging could be misleading.
