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.
Atul Verma, MD, director of cardiology at McGill University Health Centre in Montreal, explained why the late-breaking PULSED-AF trial data on Medtronic’s pulsed-field ablation technology is so important for cardiologists.
In comparison to a cohort of individuals who were unaffected by either condition, the differences in brain stem volume were found to be significant, according to a paper published recently in Frontiers in Neuroscience.
A new experimental study focused on how different sex hormones can affect the heart's ability to properly pump blood. Estradiol, the most active form of estrogen, stood out as a hormone that requires additional research.
Electromyometrial imaging creates 3D maps of contractions during labor in real-time, which can help clinicians track contraction patterns and make decisions regarding patient management.
