It’s his biggest night of the year. But for all the gift giving and fun, stress comes with the package for Santa Claus. Penn State Health experts offer tips to keep Santa healthy this year (and you as well).
JFK University Medical Center Foundation Celebrates Generous Gift from Grateful Patient and Ribbon-Cutting of Aaron J. Feingold, M.D. Cardiac Catheterization Suite
Using angiographic images and computer modeling and analysis, researchers in Japan have evaluated hemodynamic factors that may help identify sites where aneurysms are likelier to form.
GLP-1 RA treats diabetes and is linked to positive outcomes for heart disease patients, yet inequities were found in its use along racial, ethnic, and economic lines
A team of cardiac experts at Hackensack Meridian Jersey Shore University Medical Center joined forces recently to save the life of a critically ill man with advanced heart failure. Armed with the most innovative technologies, including temporary means to keep his heart working, and then surgical attachment of a permanent mechanical heart pump, the team collaborated to reverse the patient’s most severe type of heart failure when he had only six months or less to live.
Um novo algoritmo de inteligência artificial (IA) que identifica uma disfunção cardíaca a partir de um eletrocardiograma de derivação única (ECG) também pode prever a sobrevida do paciente a longo prazo após uma cirurgia cardíaca, de acordo com uma nova pesquisa da Mayo Clinic.
مدينة روتشستر، ولاية مينيسوتا- يمكن لخوارزمية الذكاء الاصطناعي (AI) الجديدة التي تتعرف على الخلل الوظيفي القلبي من مخطط واحد فقط لكهربية القلب (EKG) أن تتنبأ أيضًا بنجاة المريض على المدى الطويل بعد إجراء جراحة القلب، وفقًا لبحث جديد من مايو كلينك.
Un nuevo algoritmo de inteligencia artificial que identifica una disfunción cardíaca a partir de un electrocardiograma de una sola derivación puede también predecir la supervivencia a largo plazo del paciente después de una cirugía cardíaca, según una nueva investigación de Mayo Clinic.
The worldwide incidence and mortality rates for stroke decreased slightly from 1990 to 2019, but the overall numbers are still high, especially in high- and middle-income countries, according to a study published in the December 15, 2021, online issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology. The study focused on ischemic stroke, which is caused by blood clots and makes up 85% of stroke cases.
A new study in mice shows transplanted brown fat can reduce type 2 diabetes risk factors after a heart attack, an encouraging finding for scientists who hope to apply the so-called “good” fat’s beneficial properties to drugs that can help prevent health problems.
A new review explores the physiology behind and proposed management strategies for body-wide symptoms of the post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC), otherwise known as “long COVID.” The review is published ahead of print in the American Journal of Physiology-Cell Physiology.
The study measured abdominal visceral fat levels and arterial stiffness in more than 600 children, adolescents and young adults. Visceral fat is the fat found in the abdomen that infiltrates vital organs.
Researchers have discovered how to ‘turn off’ a key driver of aortic stenosis – the narrowing of the heart’s aortic valve – identifying for the first time the biological process behind certain instances of the disease in which heart valves become calcified and damaged.
This holiday season will be especially merry for Dennis Brant who has made miraculous recoveries from heart failure and cancer. Last month he completed a 5K run in Plymouth alongside his daughter Ava – the first time he was able to participate in this kind of event in more than 13 years because of his medical issues.
When a patient's cough led to shortness of breath, he took the drive from his home in the Bronx, New York to visit The Valley Hospital’s Emergency Department. Imaging revealed that he was experiencing a heart attack, leading to cardiogenic shock where only 15 percent of his heart was functioning. Acting quickly, Rajiv Tayal, MD, Director of The Valley Hospital’s Structural Heart Program and Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory, implanted stents to open Albert’s blocked arteries and restore adequate blood flow; and implanted the Impella® Ventricular Support System to treat Al’s cardiogenic shock.
The University of Miami Health System has received the Mitral Valve Repair Reference Center Award from the American Heart Association and the Mitral Foundation for a demonstrated record of superior clinical outcomes resulting from evidence-based, guideline-directed degenerative mitral valve repair.
