A preliminary study of a new electrophysiology (EP) mapping system using a specialized intracardiac ultrasound basket catheter for electro-mapping showed it is four times higher resolution than standard voltage mapping. Researchers also said the new mapping modality represents the electromapping data on computed tomography (CT) quality anatomy. The data suggest it may open the possibility to map irregular arrhythmias with more precision. The data was presented at Heart Rhythm Society’s 2015 meeting. 

Medtronic plc announced that its Tyrx Antibacterial Envelope reduces major cardiac device site infections by 80 percent up to 12 months after implantation. These data were presented at Heart Rhythm 2015, the Heart Rhythm Society’s 36th annual scientific sessions in Boston.

Amaranth Medical announced plans to report clinical results from the company's ongoing trial of its second-generation Fortitude sirolimus-eluting bioresorbable scaffold (BRS) at EuroPCR 2015. Juan F. Granada, M.D., executive director and chief innovation officer of the CRF-Skirball Center for Innovation (SCI), will present these updates.

Clinical trial results showed that full-body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans do not affect the Medtronic Evera MRI SureScan implantable cardioverter defibrillator’s (ICD) ability to detect potentially lethal heart rhythms and deliver life-saving therapy. Data were presented during a late-breaking clinical trial session at Heart Rhythm 2015

The first-in-human trial of a new miniaturized leadless pacemaker implanted directly inside the heart found the Medtronic Micra transcatheter pacing system (TPS) safe and effective in patients with a slow heart rhythm. Early performance results from the international Micra Transcatheter Pacing Study were presented at Heart Rhythm 2015, the Heart Rhythm Society’s 36th annual scientific sessions, May 13-16 in Boston.

Kalorama Information expects the nearly 25 billion-dollar market for electronic medical records (EMR) to grow well past the period where there are incentives for U.S. healthcare providers, according to a recent report. The healthcare market research publisher said penalties, system upgrades, international sales and continued efficiency improvements will grow the market 7-8 percent each year for the next five years. The market for EMR systems continues to increase as more physicians and hospitals use EMR and acquire EMR systems, and as hospitals and physician groups upgrade existing systems.
