August 26, 2022 — Researchers in the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai are one step closer to identifying patients at highest risk for developing sudden cardiac death—an electrical malfunction in the heart that causes it to stop beating. 

August 26, 2022 — The Cardiovascular Research Foundation (CRF) and Fogarty Innovation announced today that the program is now available for the TCT MedTech Innovation Forum.

August 25, 2022 — The results of “A Phase 3, Open-label, Multicenter Study of Flurpiridaz (F18) Injection for Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Imaging Assessment of Myocardial Perfusion in Patients Referred for Invasive Angiography Because of Suspected Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)” will be presented for the first time at 

August 25, 2022 — Imperfect current propagation in the heart is at the root of most cardiac diseases. Thanks to a novel magnetocardiography technique developed in the MEXT Q-LEAP Flagship project with researchers from Tokyo Tech and the University of Tokyo, we can now image these currents at millimeter-scale resolutions.

August 25, 2022 — The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a statement that Medtronic, Inc. is recalling HeartWare HVAD System batteries because the batteries may experience electrical faults that cause them to unexpectedly fail.

August 24, 2022 — Patients diagnosed with moderate aortic stenosis and congestive heart failure may qualify to participate in a clinical trial that will determine whether a minimally-invasive valve replacement benefits those who are currently treated only with medication. 

August 24, 2022 — iPredict late stroke prediction model provides a fully automated prediction score for incid

August 24, 2022 —  Screening individuals for atrial fibrillation (AF) using wearable devices is more cost-effective than screening using conventional methods such as 12-lead 

When the patients of Michael Boler, M.D. need cardiac monitoring, the Holter monitor is no longer his first choice. “The newer ECG devices we have now are so much less cumbersome. It’s like wearing a Band-Aid versus carrying a bulky device,” said the Greenwood, Mississippi internist. “My patients prefer the more comfortable, wire-free form factor, and the quality is as good as, or better, than the Holter,” continued Boler.
