Rapid advances in technology to monitor atrial fibrillation (AF or Afib) are enabling clinicians to access real-time patient data more easily and effectively than ever before. 
The challenges of obtaining data through previous technology like Holter monitors have limited the clinician’s ability to better understand AF burden and its connection to increased stroke risk. As a result, studies have traditionally analyzed the outcomes of AF simply based on whether AF is present or not, according to the American Heart Association (AHA). [1]

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a multifaceted disease that demands various approaches in terms of diagnosis and treatment options. Devices for the diagnosis and treatment of CAD can be of high volume and low cost or of a relatively low volume and high cost. The U.S.

In February 2018, a workshop was held at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Maryland, to explore concerns about the safety of gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) and gadolinium retention. The workshop was co-sponsored by NIH, the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) and the American College of Radiology (ACR).

The antithrombin drug rivaroxaban does not reduce the risk of a composite endpoint of survival, myocardial infarction and stroke after an episode of worsening heart failure in patients with heart failure, sinus rhythm and coronary artery disease. These conclusions came from late-breaking results from the COMMANDER HF trial presented in a Hot Line Session at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress 2018, Aug. 25-28 in Munich, Germany, and with simultaneous publication in the New England Journal of Medicine.1
