People with long COVID are at increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease, according to a new study from Karolinska Institutet published in eClinicalMedicine. The results show that the risk of conditions such as cardiac arrhythmias […]
Working with “digital twins” of patients’ hearts, doctors have improved cardiac ablation outcomes for patients with life-threatening arrhythmias. In the first clinical trials for cardiac digital twins technology, researchers at Johns Hopkins University created digital […]
In what is believed to be the first randomized placebo-controlled trial of its kind, patients with a chronic total blockage of a coronary artery who received a nonsurgical procedure to reopen the artery showed statistically […]
A trial testing the aldosterone blocker spironolactone in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and heart failure with mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF) did not show any significant improvement in terms of […]
A nationwide clinical RCT trial led by Dr. Kazumi Kimura at Kumamoto University Hospital has found that adding catheter ablation to standard anticoagulant therapy did not significantly reduce the risk of recurrent stroke or major […]
A novel, minimally invasive computer software-based method that uses artificial intelligence to determine whether plaques in a coronary artery are restricting blood flow to the patient’s heart performed similarly to the standard, more invasive wire-based […]
Air pollution alerts issued by authorities in China’s cities significantly reduce harmful pollution and save lives, a new study reveals. Publishing their findings in PNAS Nexus, an international research group led by University of Birmingham […]
In patients with a poorly functioning bioprosthetic mitral valve in the heart, a minimally invasive procedure to insert a new valve was associated with a lower rate of death or disabling stroke within one year, […]
More than half of adults and about 60% of children in the U.S. have unhealthy diets, which can contribute to higher rates of health factors such as high blood pressure and obesity, and lead directly […]
For patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AFib) who had no contraindications to taking oral anticoagulants, the use of a device to close off the left atrial appendage in the heart—a small pouch where blood can […]
