A new position paper is calling for an updated definition of high-risk plaque in coronary artery disease, as researchers highlight the need to move beyond the decades-old focus on rupture-prone lesions.
A new study reveals the extent to which cardiovascular risk factors, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and smoking, can drive the development of heart plaques and trigger heart attacks.
Patients who have persistent atrial fibrillation (PsAF) show significant improvements in quality of life (QOL) when treated with catheter ablation, long-term data from a sub-analysis show.
New trial findings suggest that catheter ablation (CA) is significantly more effective than lifestyle modification combined with antiarrhythmic drugs (LFM+AAD) in maintaining sinus rhythm in obese patients with atrial fibrillation (AF).
New clinical guidelines outline recommendations for managing patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD), highlighting the need to address day-to-day lifestyle habits within the PAD population to improve overall health.
Young survivors of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are at greater risk of poor outcomes if they live in a marginalized neighborhood, a new study shows.
The majority of redo transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) patients receiving 'short-in-tall' (SiT) valves resulted in higher implants for the secondary device, "despite optimal initial positioning," according to a new analysis of Mount Sinai patients.
Routine use of the Sentinel cerebral embolic protection device (CEPD) does not significantly reduce the risk of periprocedural stroke, transient ischemic attack or all-cause mortality in transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) patients, according to a new meta analysis.
A new type of surgical mitral valve made from synthetic polymer demonstrates strong safety and performance at one year in a prospective, multicenter study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
