A new artificial intelligence-based approach can predict, significantly more accurately than a doctor, if and when a patient could die of cardiac arrest. The technology, built on raw images of…
A large international study has found an important new benchmark for measuring the risk of death for patients undergoing heart surgery, of which there are two million adults a year…
The “Ross procedure” may be a more favorable option for aortic valve replacement among patients under 50 years old than more standard mechanical or biological replacements, according to a new…
Among the many hard lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic is that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19 infections, can affect every organ system in the body, including the brain. Approximately…
A recent international study led by researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and other institutions offers real-world results on the use of a novel device for treating brain aneurysms, or…
Recent guidelines have restricted aspirin use in the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease to patients under 70, and more recent guidance to patients under 60. Yet, the risks of heart…
Patients with mitral and tricuspid valve regurgitation, a condition sometimes called “leaky heart valves,” appeared to do better after two years if they had a tricuspid valve repair at the…
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have examined long-term outcomes in patients who received pacemaker implantations after transcatheter aortic valve replacement through their groin. The result showed no significant difference…
A recent study revealed that endovascular repair of complex aortic aneurysms using fenestrated and branched endografts provides a safe and effective alternative to open surgical repair, with the lowest ever…
When children and adolescents go into cardiac arrest outside of a hospital setting, CPR with rescue breathing — rather than CPR using only chest compressions — leads to better outcomes,…
