Comprehensive cardiac monitoring reveals that low aerobic fitness and advancing age independently drive irregular heartbeat patterns previously dismissed as benign, with implications for preventive screening strategies starting at age 50.
A major international clinical trial has overturned four decades of standard cardiac care, finding that beta-blockers provide no benefit for most heart attack survivors with preserved heart function. The REBOOT study, involving over 8,500 patients, could reshape treatment guidelines worldwide.
Researchers at the National University of Singapore have developed a revolutionary biomaterial that demonstrates how environmental changes around heart cells could reverse age-related cardiac damage. The breakthrough research suggests that targeting the cellular environment, rather than the cells themselves, may offer new therapeutic pathways for heart rejuvenation.
A groundbreaking contactless detection system for atrial fibrillation using radio technology and artificial intelligence has demonstrated clinical-grade diagnostic accuracy. Published in Nature Communications, the innovative system records heart mechanical motion via radar sensing and analyses it using neural networks, enabling detection without physical contact and potentially facilitating early diagnosis before symptoms appear.
Edwards Lifesciences has obtained European regulatory approval for its SAPIEN M3 system, making it the world’s first transcatheter mitral valve replacement therapy delivered via a transfemoral approach for treating mitral regurgitation.
Phase II trial demonstrates superior outcomes compared to synthetic grafts in both civilian and military settings, with significantly lower amputation rates and infection risks.
A European research initiative has made significant progress in identifying new treatments to protect heart muscle during acute cardiac events, with potential implications for both diabetic and non-diabetic patients.
In an historic achievement, Dr. Feras Khaliel and his team at King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre (KFSHRC) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, successfully performed the world’s first fully robotic heart transplant on a 16-year-old patient with end-stage heart failure. This innovative procedure reduced recovery times and surgical risks, setting a new standard for cardiac […]
A study from Karolinska Institutet reveals that low levels of anti-phosphorylcholine antibodies may indicate increased risk of heart disease in older women, potentially paving the way for improved risk assessment and preventive strategies.
The American Heart Association and American College of Cardiology have jointly published an updated guideline for managing cardiovascular risks in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery, reflecting a decade of new evidence since the last update in 2014.
