Study: Robotic Arm Can be Used for Remote Echocardiograms

DAIC

A total of 51 patients were enrolled from the outpatient cardiology clinic. Echocardiograms using the robotic arm resulted in the same diagnosis as conventional in-person echocardiography in 98% of cases (papillary muscle level obstruction was missed in one case). tim.hodson Thu, 08/29/2024 - 11:39 Aug. 30 – Sept.

Abstract 4142124: Transcatheter mitral edge-to-edge repair in a patient with symptomatic SAM and LVOT obstruction following surgical robotic mitral valve repair

Circulation

Background:Persistent systolic anterior motion (SAM) following robotic mitral valve repair can lead to symptomatic left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction. Transesophogeal echocardiogram (TEE) revealed 3+ mitral regurgitation (MR) (mean mitral valve pressure gradient 4.2

Abstract 4144084: Enhanced External Counterpulsation as a Novel Treatment for Heart Transplant Candidates with Ischemic Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction

Circulation

Introduction:Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP) is a noninvasive outpatient therapy designed to improve arterial health, cardiac efficiency, and coronary collateral formation by applying sequential external pressure aligned with the patient’s cardiac cycle.
