Becoming a father seems to make a man less likely to die young. What’s more, when a father passes away within the first five years of his child’s life, the cause is usually non-natural and thus preventable.
Researchers tracked real-world data from 600 TAVR patients, following each one for approximately five years. Survival rates were similar for men and women early on, but then women started experiencing better outcomes after three years.
Using a DCB that releases sirolimus over an extended period of time appears to be both safe and effective when treating patients who present with NSTEMI or unstable angina.
The popular drugs, originally developed to treat diabetes, were also associated with an improved survival rate. Benefits were seen in patients who did and did not lose significant weight as a result of treatment.
Jonathan Lindner, MD, offers an update on the use of echocardiography and bubble contrast agents in a therapy role to help revascularize STEMI patients and increase drug and gene delivery.
CT findings that have historically been deemed as concerning relative to PE might not hold as much weight when it comes to associated risks as previously thought, new analysis suggests.
The new technique mixes MRI signals at different gradient pulse strengths and timings, offering better visualization of differences in the way water molecules move through tissues.
Artificial intelligence tools have proven to be beneficial in detecting pulmonary nodules on chest CTs of adults, but less is known about their utility in pediatric populations.
Cardiologists and other physicians have always believed cardiac transthyretin amyloidosis, a progressive heart condition associated with a high mortality rate, was irreversible. Now, though, new evidence suggests that there may be hope.
Motives for the hesitancy are several—transportation concerns, informational inadequacies, historical wrongs—but effective resolutions can be quite simple.
Cedars-Sinai researchers are developing a deep-learning algorithm to personalize patient cardiac risk predictions in a patient-friendly, graphical report.
