GE Healthcare announced at the Radiological Society of North America Annual Meeting (RSNA 2013) in Chicago that its U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k)-pending Revolution CT 256-slice system has captured a motion-free image of the human heart in just one beat.



HeartWare International Inc. has acquired CircuLite, Inc., a developer of the Synergy Circulatory Support System, which is designed to treat less sick, ambulatory, chronic heart failure patients who are not yet inotrope-dependent.



Over the past decade, medical imaging has gone from being one of the fastest growing categories of Medicare spending to one of the slowest relative to other Medicare services, according to a new study.



Medtronic Inc. announced CE mark in Europe and Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) listing in Australia for its flexible 4 French multi-electrode Symplicity Spyral catheter and Symplicity G3 radio frequency (RF) generator.


Medtronic, Inc. presented three-year data from SYMPLICITY HTN-2, the first and longest-running randomized, controlled clinical trial of renal denervation, which continue to demonstrate results consistent with data reported previously at six, 12 and 24-months of follow-up. The data were presented for the first time during an oral abstract session on Tuesday, October 29, 2013 at the 25th Annual Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) Symposium taking place this week in San Francisco. The Symplicity renal denervation system is available for investigational use only in the United States.


A national group of leading scientists, including one University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) expert, said that for more than 100 years, fewer people have been dying of stroke, yet it is still unclear why this decline remains constant.
