Patients often develop AFib during cardiac surgery, leading to longer hospital stays, additional healthcare costs and a higher risk of mortality. Cooling the oblique sinus of the patient's heart as soon as AFib starts to develop may represent a new way to stop the problem in its tracks.
Using one of the most powerful MRI scanners to date, researchers believe they have identified subtle neural changes in the brain that precede Parkinson’s disease.
Cardiologists are turning to leadless pacemakers more and more for cardiac pacing, but those devices have not previously been able to perform LBBAP. This new analysis includes new data on the world’s very first leadless LBBAP procedures.
Jonathan Lindner, MD, offers an update on the use of echocardiography and bubble contrast agents in a therapy role to help revascularize STEMI patients and increase drug and gene delivery.
CT findings that have historically been deemed as concerning relative to PE might not hold as much weight when it comes to associated risks as previously thought, new analysis suggests.
The new technique mixes MRI signals at different gradient pulse strengths and timings, offering better visualization of differences in the way water molecules move through tissues.
Artificial intelligence tools have proven to be beneficial in detecting pulmonary nodules on chest CTs of adults, but less is known about their utility in pediatric populations.
Cardiologists and other physicians have always believed cardiac transthyretin amyloidosis, a progressive heart condition associated with a high mortality rate, was irreversible. Now, though, new evidence suggests that there may be hope.
Motives for the hesitancy are several—transportation concerns, informational inadequacies, historical wrongs—but effective resolutions can be quite simple.
Cedars-Sinai researchers are developing a deep-learning algorithm to personalize patient cardiac risk predictions in a patient-friendly, graphical report.
