Biotronik has secured U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for its Solia CSP S pacing lead for left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP).

FDA approves new Biotronik pacing lead for LBBAP

The next-generation device includes a stylet-driven lead and a fixed helix. It was designed and developed specifically with LBBAP in mind.

Registry data point to ‘striking shift’ in treatment decisions after FDA approved low-risk TAVR

Many experts still recommend SAVR over TAVR for patients younger than 65 years old with severe aortic stenosis. However, transcatheter treatments are growing more and more popular when these younger patients require a valve replacement.

Friederike Keating, MD, director, nuclear cardiology, at University of Vermont Health, and chair of American Society of nuclear Cardiology (ASNC) Health Policy Committee, explains the support behind House Bill 7520 that aims to halt the Medicare's 2.5% efficiency adjustment cut to physician payments that was included in the 2025 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule.

Cardiologist says new legislation would delay flawed payment cuts, preserve access to care

The efficiency adjustment cuts introduced in the 2026 MPFS are based on assumptions many doctors believe to be false. The American Society of Nuclear Cardiology and other medical societies are pushing back.

First ACC/AHA acute pulmonary embolism guidelines include new categories for risk stratification

The new guidance, the first of its kind, focuses on the importance of making a prompt diagnosis and providing care as quickly as possible. While some PE patients with mild cases can be discharged early, others may require an immediate catheter-based intervention or surgery.

Michael Honigberg, MD, MPP, a preventive cardiologist and cardiovascular researcher at Massachusetts General Hospital, explains how preeclampsia and gestational hypertension during pregnancy can elevate cardiovascular risks later in life and how to best manage these patients.

How hypertension during pregnancy impacts a woman's long-term cardiovascular health

Emerging research suggests that the early postpartum period may represent a critical window for influencing a woman's long-term cardiovascular health.

Cardiology, cardiac imaging groups support new bill delaying cuts to physician pay

Nearly 40 healthcare organizations signed a letter in support of the bipartisan legislation, noting that Medicare's “efficiency adjustment” decreases reimbursement during a challenging time for physicians.

TAVR linked to higher reintervention rate than SAVR in Evolut Low Risk trial update

The Evolut Low Risk trial has been one of cardiology’s most closely watched studies for years now. For the first five years after treatment, TAVR and SAVR were associated with comparable outcomes when treating low-risk patients. In this new six-year update, however, TAVR was linked to a heightened risk of reintervention not seen with SAVR. 

iad Ali, MD, DPhil, director of the DeMatteis Cardiovascular Institute and director investigational interventional cardiology, St. Francis Hospital and Heart Center, explains how coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) offers a shift in cardiac care and interventional cardiology because of the information it offers on plaque burden and ischemia based on fractional flow reserve CT (FFR-CT). #TCT #YesCCT

CCTA becoming an essential tool for interventional cardiologists

Ziad Ali, MD, explains how coronary computed tomography angiography is creating a major shift in cardiac care.
