Meril Life Sciences, an India-based medical device company founded in 2006, developed the Myval TAVR valve

Myval TAVR valve outperforms Sapien and Evolut in the late-breaking LANDMARK trial

The LANDMARK trial continues to show positive outcomes for the TAVR valve made in India.

Drinking coffee may reduce risk of recurrent AFib

Physicians often tell AFib patients they should limit coffee consumption to protect their hearts. This new analysis, however, suggests that may not be necessary.

AI-enabled coronary plaque quantification outperforms traditional risk scores

Researchers used AI-enabled software developed by Cleerly to evaluate the CCTA results of more than 6,000 patients. The software was consistently effective, identifying patients who may face an increased risk of poor outcomes.

$64M raised for new cardiogenic shock drug—research already underway

Procizumab was developed to change the trajectory of shock by addressing an underlying molecular driver rather than just managing symptoms.

Coronary calcium may predict a patient's risk of dying from noncardiac conditions

Calcium in the coronary arteries is a known cardiac risk factor. However, new data suggest it may actually tell us more about a person's overall health than researchers previously believed.

Prosthesis-patient mismatch after TAVR may not negatively impact quality of life

Researchers warned that “aggressive procedural modifications” should not be necessary during TAVR to mitigate the risk of prosthesis-patient mismatch. This appears to be true for patients receiving both self-expanding and balloon-expandable TAVR valves.

New data question short-term efficacy of anti-amyloid drug

Although the drug can slow the progression of cognitive decline, it may have little impact on damage already done by AD prior to treatment.
