CMS has proposed a policy shift that would allow cardiac ablation procedures to be performed in ambulatory surgical centers. Arash Aryana, MD, PhD, a veteran cardiac electrophysiologist, explained why he is "extremely encouraged" by this proposal, highlighting several potential benefits. 

AI could appreciably improve the delivery of healthcare services to patients—if only people trusted it. For many, the difference-maker would be nicely crafted federal regulations. 

More than 100,000 surgical devices are included in these recalls, and there may be "limited product availability" in the months ahead. The FDA first warned the public about this issue in August. 

Care teams can face alarm and cognitive overload, with an average of 350 alarms going off per patient per day. But Philips' new telemetry platform streamlines alarm management, delivers data-driven insights and automates clinical tasks—with operational simplicity and networking options.

Many Gen Z-ers pursuing careers in healthcare to avoid AI-related workforce shrinkage will learn a hard lesson: Job security and job satisfaction are two very different things.

There’s no shortage of technically impressive AI applications for primary care. Yet these tools tend to lag well behind AI models aimed at clinical specialties when it comes to integration into routine practice.

The Varipulse PFA platform, which has already received FDA and CE mark approval, was linked to an adverse event rate of just 0.6%. 

New data out of ESC Congress 2025 suggest care teams can take a more minimalist approach during a majority of TAVR cases and only treat patients with local anesthesia. In some cases, however, sedation will still be necessary.
