Andres Cordova, MD, cardiology fellow, University of Vermont Medical Center, explains a study of registry and outcomes data on the use of Impella hemodynamic support in elderly STEMI patients with cardiogenic shock.

Impella use fails to improve mortality in elderly patients

The Impella CP heart pump is being used more and more to treat cardiogenic shock, and the benefits are clear. For many older patients, however, the technology seem to fall short.

Boston EP Party: Medtech companies share new electrophysiology data at AF Symposium 2026

AF Symposium 2026 in Boston included new data from some of the biggest names in electrophysiology. Johnson & Johnson MedTech, Abbott, Atraverse Medical, Field Medical, Pulse Biosciences, Argá Medtech SA and CardioFocus were just some of the medtech companies at the heart of late-breaking presentations. 

New meta-analysis explores potential of endovascular treatments for long femoropopliteal lesions

Open surgical bypass is the gold standard, but endovascular therapies may provide value for high-risk patients with long femoropopliteal lesions.

Less than 25% of radiology-related NIH grants have been awarded to female researchers

New findings highlight the lingering issue of gender inequity in the field, the effects of which extend well beyond career growth for women. 

Men developed CVD earlier than women, according to 35-year CARDIA study

Promoting preventive care among young adult men during critical periods of their life may be the key to reducing rates of cardiovascular disease. 

CABG coronary artery bypass grafting heart surgery

Comparable long-term survival seen in two common CABG strategies

STS late-breaking study found BITA and SITA+RA have similar long-term survival, but age plays a role in which to choose.
