"The lead protection we wear is causing a lot of damage," SCAI President Srihari S. Naidu, MD, a veteran interventional cardiologist, explained in an interview.

The new Topaz TTVR system was associated with the consistent elimination of tricuspid regurgitation. In addition, none of the first 20 patients treated with the device required a permanent pacemaker as a result of the procedure.

Researchers explored data from more than 24,000 AVR patients, presenting their findings at EuroPCR in Paris.

Researchers believe a new robotic TEE system could improve the long-term health of interventional echocardiographers in addition to several other key benefits.

While LVOT modification does make these procedures longer, it can help high-risk patients avoid systolic anterior motion.

Gregg Fonarow, MD, discussed the American Heart Association's stroke guidelines, the growing influence of AI and much more.

Even seeing a cardiologist once per year can help these patients elevate their long-term survival. Many stay home, however, missing out on potentially life-saving guidance and/or treatment.

Some patients struggle to bounce back after being hospitalized, but too much sedentary behavior could cause their health to get even worse. The research teams behind two separate studies are highlighting the importance of staying active.
