Patient outcomes clearly show acoramidis reduces both all-cause mortality and cardiovascular hospitalizations, but the study also reinforced the importance of early diagnosis and prompt medical therapy.
The risk associated with under-recognized CKD emerged early, highlighting the need for screening soon after a CAD diagnosis so that cardio-renal protective drugs can be started much earlier.
In total, NIH has awarded the project over $30 million. Researchers are hopeful that the funding will help pave the way for more personalized treatments for Alzheimer's.
The DurAVR transcatheter heart valve, developed by Minnesota-based Anteris Technologies, was designed to move and perform like a healthy, pre-disease native aortic valve.
The new analysis, published in JAMA, suggests that CT results can help identify medium- and high-risk patients who may need to be considered for statin therapy or other preventive treatments.
Daniel Cantillon, MD, explained why the positive performance of Abbott's Aveir dual-chamber leadless pacemaker could lead to considerable improvements in patient care.
The research, published in Stroke and Vascular Neurology, suggests that just four hours of physical activity per week can reduce the significance of a brain bleed.
Results from a pivotal clinical trial presented as a late-breaker at Heart Rhythm 2023 indicate that a new leadless pacemaker technology can deliver cardiac resynchronization therapy in patients who were not able to be treated with conventional CRT and epicardial leads.
The use of left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) is growing in electrophysiology implanted devices. Two late-breaking studies at Heart Rhythm 2023 highlight the success of LBBAP as an alternative to the standard of care using biventricular pacing.
The new drug, asundexian, is currently the subject of two multicenter Phase III studies—the OCEANIC-AF trial and OCEANIC-STROKE trial—focused on its safety and efficacy.
“These and other data support that young adults do as well as a more traditional patient population when looking at arrhythmia-free survival,” researchers wrote.
