Researchers tracked real-world data from 600 TAVR patients, following each one for approximately five years. Survival rates were similar for men and women early on, but then women started experiencing better outcomes after three years.
Using a DCB that releases sirolimus over an extended period of time appears to be both safe and effective when treating patients who present with NSTEMI or unstable angina.
The popular drugs, originally developed to treat diabetes, were also associated with an improved survival rate. Benefits were seen in patients who did and did not lose significant weight as a result of treatment.
Published in Clinical Imaging, the responses indicate that Trump administration policies have made it more difficult to acquire funding and collaborate with other researchers.
When working-age adults develop cardiovascular disease, it often ends up eating up a significant amount of their income. Are insurance companies doing enough to help these patients?
The American Association for Thoracic Surgery has announced a new partnership with the Cardiothoracic Surgical Trials Network. The groups plan on working together to address current challenges in cardiothoracic surgery research.
Oversizing transcatheter heart valves can improve TAVR outcomes. There is still a reason to be cautious, however, especially when patients are receiving a balloon-expandable valve.
Tenaya Therapeutics and Alnylam Pharmaceuticals have agreed to collaborate on identifying potential new gene therapies for the treatment of cardiovascular disease. Tenaya will receive an upfront payment of $10 million, but stands to earn much more.
Freestanding EDs demonstrated meaningful operational advantages over hospitals when using an accelerated troponin pathway. This included earlier discharges for low-risk chest pain patients.
The AI model showcased an ability to accurately identify signs of pulmonary hypertension in retinal images. "This opens the possibility of using a simple photograph to gain insights into a premature infant's overall health," one researcher explained.
