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. […]
Findings from the North American COVID-19 Myocardial Infarction (NACMI) registry demonstrate significantly higher one-year mortality rates in patients with COVID-19 and ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) compared to patients with STEMI alone. This registry is the […]
New data analyzing more than 20,000 patients from three major NIH studies show that elevated Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is associated with residual cardiovascular risk and warrants aggressive risk reduction. Researchers presented the data at the Society […]
Results from the largest real-world propensity-matched comparison to date show that radial-to-peripheral (R2P) access achieves procedural success rates comparable to traditional common femoral artery (CFA) access for lower extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD) revascularization. However, […]
