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.
The FDA has declined to accelerate approval of Eli Lilly’s highly anticipated Alzheimer’s drug, but the reason for the rejection may presage a forthcoming thumbs-up.
A team of cardiologists and cardiac surgeons collaborated on the new analysis, reviewing data from more than 50,000 patients and developing a new risk model for clinicians.
By combining MSI results with whole-brain MRI exams, researchers are hoping to gain insight into the development of Alzheimer’s disease on a molecular level.
Reducing total calorie intake and minimizing large meals, on the other hand, were both linked to improved weight loss. The study followed participants for an average of 6.3 years.
Accelerated MRI with AI image reconstruction nearly halved orthopedic scan times while maintaining or even improving image quality in a newly published prospective study.
Peter Libby, MD, a cardiovascular medicine specialist with Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, explained some key takeaways from the PROMINENT trial.
Thanks to functional MRI exams, experts recently gained new insight into mechanisms behind the “loosening of associations” commonly observed in individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia.
