May 5, 2022 – Cardiovascular disease is a group of conditions that can arise from a lack of physical activity, poor diet, or certain disorders. Scientists have known that the development of these conditions begins with changes in vascular endothelial cells - the cells that line the body’s blood vessels. But why and how changes in endothelial cell function occur is not entirely clear.  

May 5, 2022 – Survivors of serious stroke can reduce their chances of dying within the year by 76% if they complete a modified cardiac rehabilitation program that includes medically supervised exercise, prescribed therapy, and physician follow-up, according to new research published in the Journal of Stroke & Cerebrovascular Diseases. The findings have the potential to change the future of stroke care.

. Leading the charge are devices like the Eko smart stethoscope and the Tyto remote otoscope that allow clinicians to remotely auscultate patients’ hearts, lungs and abdomen, and see inside the ear. More devices will surely come, with the aim of replicating the in-office visit.

Before opining on the future of cardiac health, I think it’s important to define what “cardiac health” actually is. If one searches the internet for the term, the result is a cornucopia of self-promotion and advertising. Yes, some of the content is helpful, but mostly these are pitches for an individual’s or group’s services. Not particularly useful, in my opinion.
With the increase of patients experiencing heart failure and clinical challenges to manage advanced heart failure conditions, therapies with implantable devices have become an essential treatment method

The current standard of care for heart failure (HF) is guideline-directed medical therapy combined with device-based interventions in eligible patients. However, many patients experience progressive deterioration in their HF status that warrants additional intervention.

May 4, 2022 – Seeking to bolster its development of a biocompatible graft that promises to reshape the future of cardiac bypass surgery, Medical 21, a medtech device company, recently announced it has filed a Form 1-A with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and is now accepting, from the public, reservations for its $40 million funding round on its website.

May 4, 2022 — CathVision, a medical technology company developing innovative electrophysiology solutions designed to enhance clinical decision making in the EP lab, today announced the FDA 510(k) clearance of the

May 4, 2022 — More than 60 million magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans are performed worldwide each year, but imaging for the millions of patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) such as pacemakers is a logistical challenge, because of concerns with how the magnetic field affects the implants.
