Mark Rabbat, MD, discusses the Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography's efforts to make an impact by lobbying in Washington. 

A majority of patient deaths within two years of TAVR can be linked to cardiovascular complications, according to new research published in JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions. Can follow-up care be improved to combat this trend? 

How common is it for patients to present with overlapping cardiac, renal and metabolic issues? A new analysis in JAMA Cardiology explored that very question.

The University of Rochester is part of a growing trend where academic medical centers are partnering with venture capital firms to implement new technologies that improve patient care. 

Asking patients to use smartphone-powered ECG devices following catheter ablation procedures could be incredibly beneficial, according to new findings published in JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology. 

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

“Many within the healthcare industry believe that cardiovascular care will be increasingly delivered in non-traditional ambulatory settings,” according to one author. “The cardiovascular care community must consider and prepare for this eventuality."

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