Video of ASNC President Mouaz Al-Mallah, MD, explaining some long-COVID cardiac symptoms might be due to coronary microvascular dysfunction. He was part of a recent study that used PET top assess myocardial perfusion that found there is impaired microvascular flow in long-COVID patients.

PET imaging helps assess coronary microvascular dysfunction in long COVID patients

Researchers noted that patients appeared to have myocarditis at first, but a closer examination revealed it was something else entirely.

Bivalirudin linked to key benefit over heparin for NSTEMI patients undergoing PCI

The two anticoagulants are associated with similar mortality rates. However, a new meta-analysis in Circulation may have cardiologists favoring bivalirudin over heparin.

Q&A: A closer look at the push in cardiology for a new, independent American Board of Cardiovascular Medicine

American College of Cardiology President B. Hadley Wilson, MD, discussed why the ACC and other leading cardiology groups are so eager to create a new, independent medical board. This has been a long-term goal for many years, he said, and now it may become a reality. 

Vivek Reddy, MD, director of arrhythmia service and processor of medicine in cardiac electrophysiology, Mt. Sinai, New York, expolains the key takeaways from the ADVENT trial of pulsed field ablation at ESC 2023.

Pulsed field ablation shows potential to replace thermal ablation

Vivek Reddy, MD, explained that pulsed field ablation is associated with many benefits compared to the current standard of care in electrophysiology.

EP studies during TAVR are safe and effective, new pilot study confirms

New research in JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions explored the potential of performing EP studies before and after valve deployment. TAVR operators handled all catheter manipulations, and EP specialists were on hand to capture the necessary measurements.
