Patient outcomes clearly show acoramidis reduces both all-cause mortality and cardiovascular hospitalizations, but the study also reinforced the importance of early diagnosis and prompt medical therapy.
The risk associated with under-recognized CKD emerged early, highlighting the need for screening soon after a CAD diagnosis so that cardio-renal protective drugs can be started much earlier.
In total, NIH has awarded the project over $30 million. Researchers are hopeful that the funding will help pave the way for more personalized treatments for Alzheimer's.
A conference on neurology is described by reporters as "shambolic," offering only bare bones presentations and accommodations. And the number of these events may be on the rise.
Even grafts that represent the current gold standard for bypass surgeries are associated with high failure rates, researchers noted. They think these 3D-printed blood vessels could provide considerable value.
New one-year data suggests transseptal MViV with a Sapien 3 heart valve is a "favorable and safe procedure." Researchers plan to follow patients for a total of 10 years.
Sahil Parikh, MD, director of endovascular services, New York-Presbyterian, explains details from the big-data REAL-PE study comparing mechanical thrombectomy to ultrasound assisted catheter thrombolysis.
Abandoned metal wire leads for pacemakers and ICDs did not present a serious safety issue in a study of 80 patients, but a handful of patients did experience a significant change in the composite of capture threshold, sensing or lead impedance.
Endoscopic ultrasonography has emerged as a valuable tool for diagnosing pancreatic cancer, but its specificity in differentiating between benign and malignant pancreatic lesions varies.
![Researchers have developed artificial blood vessels that could be as strong and durable as the real things, publishing their work in Advanced Materials Technologies.[1] The group hopes its work could go on to make a significant impact in care for heart bypass patients.](/sites/default/files/styles/240x220/public/2024-07/screenshot_2024-07-25_at_2.38.35_pm.png.webp?itok=Kv-BN0d2)
