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.
Although advanced imaging exams have proven benefits in defining disease severity, new data indicate that more sophisticated studies might not impact outcomes as much as previously thought.
Paul Sorajja, MD, discusses the late-breaking TRILUMINATE pivotal trial at ACC.23 and how tricuspid TEER performed against the current standard of care using medical therapy.

For patients who were hospitalized, but not yet in the ICU, those randomly assigned a higher-dose of anticoagulants had lower 30-day mortality risk than those on a lower dose.
Axillary lymphadenopathy following COVID vaccination and/or boosters is a finding all radiologists must be mindful of when interpreting imaging, but new data clarify the timeline for when the side effect should resolve.
The risk stratification system was put to the test in more than 3,000 cases and proved itself to be a beneficial tool in predicting future AVM rupture across multiple risk groups.
Many patients who would clearly benefit by lowered LDL cholesterol levels are choosing to forgo first-time recommendations for statin regimens, according to a population-level study.
