Some people may be predisposed to depression, MRI study shows

Specific brain connectivity patterns evident during childhood might make people more vulnerable to developing psychiatric disorders.

Pausing oral anticoagulation during TAVR reduces bleeding risk

The findings, based on data from more than 800 TAVR patients, suggest that skipping OAC medications for a small amount of time could make a big impact.

Viz.ai partners with Cleerly in the name of AI-based CCTA evaluations

The new partnership is focused on getting advanced AI algorithms into the hands of cardiologists.

OCT-guided PCI, or optical coherence tomography-guided percutaneous coronary intervention.

OCT-guided PCI boosts outcomes when treating complex lesions

When PCI patients present with complex lesions, optical coherence tomography may provide significant value.

PCI before TAVR a winning combination for many heart patients

“No clear recommendation currently exists in U.S. or European guidelines for performing PCI in addition to TAVR,” researchers wrote. The group hoped its study could provide some clarity.

TAVR outperforms SAVR when treating women, historic all-female trial confirms

The study, presented at ESC Congress 2024 in London, confirmed that TAVR was associated with significantly better outcomes than surgery when treating female patients. 

The MODULAR ATP study demonstrated a high rate of successful leadless pacemaker implantation with few complications and stable pacing parameters. The system uses the Emblem Subcutaneous Implantable Defibrillator (S-ICD) System and the new Empower Leadless Pacemaker from Boston Scientific.

Completely leadless cardiac rhythm management system impresses

According to new MODULAR ATP data, the leadless system was associated with a high success rate and few complications. Boston Scientific plans on seeking FDA approval in 2025. 

Brittany Nicole Weber, MD, PhD, Brigham and Women's Hospital, explains the growing role of cardio-rheumatology clinics.

The growing role of cardio-rheumatology clinics

Cardio-rheumatology clinics use a heart team-like approach to enhance care for patients with chronic conditions such as lupus, psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis. "It's not just about cardiology," the director of one clinic explains. "We work closely with rheumatologists, dermatologists and even primary care physicians to provide comprehensive care."
