February 6, 2023 — University of Virginia researchers and their collaborators have identified genes that play key roles in the development of coronary artery disease, the No. 1 cause of death worldwide.  

UVA’s findings essentially pick culprits responsible for coronary artery disease (CAD) out of a far, far larger lineup of potential genetic suspects. That gives scientists promising targets as they work to develop new and better treatments.

February 6, 2023 — In the largest genetic study of heart arrhythmia to date, researchers led by Kazuo Miyazawa and Kaoru Ito at the RIKEN Center for Integrative Medical Sciences (IMS) in Japan report the discovery of several genes and individual genetic variations that are associated with atrial fibrillation.

February 2, 2023 — Abbott today announced two approvals as part of its growing suite of electrophysiology products in the global market. The company’s TactiFlex Ablation Catheter, Sensor Enabled, the world’s only ablation catheter with a flexible tip and contact force sensing, received CE Mark1 for treating people with abnormal heart rhythms like atrial fibrillation (AFib).

February 2, 2023 — Technology is continuously evolving, and so is the approach taken by transplant cardiologists at Memorial Cardiac and Vascular Institute to using newer monitoring technologies with heart failure patients. 

February 1, 2023 — Periodontitis, a gum disease, can lead to a litany of dental issues from bad breath to bleeding and lost teeth. Now, researchers at Hiroshima University have found that it could be connected to even more severe problems elsewhere in the body — the heart.
