Calcium in the coronary arteries is a known cardiac risk factor. However, new data suggest it may actually tell us more about a person's overall health than researchers previously believed.
Researchers warned that “aggressive procedural modifications” should not be necessary during TAVR to mitigate the risk of prosthesis-patient mismatch. This appears to be true for patients receiving both self-expanding and balloon-expandable TAVR valves.
Kendra Grubb, MD, one of the country's leading experts on cardiac surgery, discussed what she tells her patients when they ask if TAVR is better than SAVR for treating severe aortic stenosis.
Could this late-breaking clinical trial from TCT 2023 be a sign of things to come in the years ahead? Samir Kapadia, MD, explored the topic in a new interview.
The new technique, audioplethysmography, can monitor a user’s heart rate and other physiological signals using headphones equipped with active noice canceling technology. It requires no additional sensors.
Robert Yeh, MD, detailed the importance of the pivotal AGENT IDE trial, which focused on the use of a paclitaxel-coated balloon to treat in-stent restenosis.
New data presented at TCT 2023 suggest the Evoque tricuspid valve replacement system could make a significant impact on the lives of patients with severe TR.
