By studying and engineering heart tissue in the unique low-gravity environment of space, the laboratory of Arun Sharma, Ph.D., is uncovering new ways to protect and repair the failing heart. He addressed the 46th Annual […]
As demand for heart transplants continues to far exceed the number of available donor hearts, experts at the 46th Annual Meeting and Scientific Sessions of the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT) explored […]
Advances in pediatric heart care are helping more children survive long enough to receive a transplant—but a critical shortage of donor hearts means too many are still dying while they wait, experts warned at the […]
Critical congenital heart diseases, or CCHDs, are a group of life-threatening structural heart defects present at birth. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about one in four babies born with a heart […]
New evidence on cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIED) lead management and the burgeoning development of new CIED technologies have contributed to the field’s rapid evolution in the last decade. The new “2026 HRS/AHA/APHRS/EHRA/IDSA/LAHRS/PACES/STS Expert Consensus […]
A novel detection algorithm spotted moderate-to-severe aortic stenosis (AS) with a sensitivity of 90.5% of all patients and 100% of African American patients. Researchers presented the late-breaking data at the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & […]
New data from the CDC WONDER database finds deaths from heart attack-related cardiogenic shock (CS) decreased between 1999 and 2020, but deaths linked to heart failure (HF) and abnormal heart rhythms have risen sharply since […]
New clues from genetic research may help explain what causes the most common heart defect present at birth. Researchers at KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Karolinska Institutet have identified rare DNA changes during fetal […]
From 2010 to 2020, there were over 2.5 million sudden deaths—natural unexpected deaths occurring within one hour of symptoms starting—in 26 European countries, suggests a new study published in The Lancet Regional Health—Europe.This article was […]
Digital transformation and artificial intelligence (AI) in health care requires a range of safeguards and standards to work well, but new research from Flinders University provides support for effective AI systems to improve cardiovascular care. […]
