"Pulmonary embolism is fundamentally a cardiovascular disease, where restoration of hemodynamic stability, beyond simple clot removal, is the key determinant of patient recovery,” one researcher explained.
Cardiac amyloidosis continues to get more and more attention at cardiology meetings. At Heart Failure 2026 in Spain, it was the topic of multiple studies, including one on the benefits of acoramidis.
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.
