HeartFlow announces US launch of AI-powered solution for evaluating coronary arteries

The AI-powered tool gained FDA clearance back in October 2022. 

AI helps ID patients who would benefit most from strict blood pressure control

The study's findings suggest that AI can help clinicians provide more personalized care than ever before.

NSAID use, even for just 2 weeks, increases heart failure risk among patients with type 2 diabetes

The link between NSAIDs such as ibuprofen and heart failure was especially strong among patients 80 years old and older. For patients 65 years old and younger, on the other hand, no such link was identified.

Moderna, Merck say new combination treatment boosts skin cancer survival

The new findings come after Moderna accused other pharmaceutical companies of stealing its mRNA technology for COVID-19 vaccines.

ACS and revascularization after TAVR: New data on a high-risk scenario

“It is vital to identify patients who are at a high risk for ACS after TAVR for potential treatment beforehand,” according a new analysis published in the American Journal of Cardiology.

brain connections that cause epileptic seizures

Experts use MRI to identify brain pathways responsible for epileptic seizures

Patients who have these pathways disconnected record marked seizure-free periods of time in the long-term, according to new research.

The variable fluorescence attenuation of blood has been a hindrance to near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) measurements in cardiovascular imaging. Fortunately, researchers have devised an innovative correction method in which the guidewire (GW) is coated with the fluorescent agent (ICG) and used as a reference standard in each frame, leading to a much higher accuracy.

New technique improves accuracy of near-infrared fluorescence imaging

NIRF imaging could help interventional cardiologists personalize care in the cath lab, but a key engineering issue needed to be solved first.

Abbott’s FreeStyle Libre 3 integrated continuous glucose monitoring (iCGM) system
