March 28, 2022 — Carmat, the designer and developer of the world’s most advanced total artificial heart, aiming to fulfill an unmet medical need by providing a therapeutic alternative to people suffering from end-stage biventricular heart failure, issues an update on its activities and outlook.

March 25, 2022 – In the first study to examine differences by sex and race in outcomes following the seven most common procedures for heart problems, researchers found that women are less likely to undergo these procedures—and even when women do receive these procedures, they are more likely than men to die while in the hospital, according to data that will be presented at the American College of Cardiology’s 71st Annual Scientific Session.

March 25, 2022 – Consumers are increasingly using smartwatches and other wearable devices to measure their heart rate and rhythm during exercise and for overall health monitoring. However, those measurements may be less accurate in people with darker skin tones, according to a study presented at the American College of Cardiology’s 71st Annual Scientific Session.

March 25, 2022 – Living in a noisy environment can be annoying, but it might also harm your health. People experiencing high levels of noise from cars, trains or planes were more likely to suffer a heart attack than people living in quieter areas, according to a study presented at the American College of Cardiology’s 71st Annual Scientific Session.

March 25, 2022 – Extreme heat accounted for about 600-700 additional deaths from cardiovascular disease annually over a decade-long period in the U.S., according to a study presented at the American College of Cardiology’s 71st Annual Scientific Session.

March 25, 2022 – A heart attack’s impact on the brain may be more serious than previously understood. About 1 in 3 heart attack survivors showed significant mental decline in the days and months following their heart attack, according to a study presented at the American College of Cardiology’s 71st Annual Scientific Session.

March 25, 2022 – Despite recent efforts to improve women’s leadership in cardiovascular clinical trial research over the last decade, the number of female principal investigators (PIs) still falls well below the number of males leading similar heart studies, according to a study presented at the American College of Cardiology’s 71st Annual Scientific Session.

March 25, 2022 – A new clinical trial found daily consumption of cranberries for one month improved cardiovascular function in healthy men.

March 25, 2022 – Scientists at the Ural State Medical University, the Ural Federal University, and the University of Copenhagen have developed new criteria for diagnosing headaches arising from ischemic stroke. It will help to predict, prevent, promptly identify and treat this dangerous pathology in a timely manner.

March 25, 2022 – Under stress, the human heart struggles to pump blood efficiently through the body. Over time, as the heart overexerts itself trying to make up for this lost efficiency, harmful changes take place. The most worrisome of these changes is a form of maladaptive growth known as cardiac hypertrophy, which eventually leads to heart failure – a condition in which the heart progressively loses its ability to pump blood.
