milla1cf Wed, 04/03/2024 - 18:55 April 3, 2024 — - Eko Health , a pioneer in applying artificial intelligence ( AI ) for early detection of heart and lung diseases, announces FDA clearance for its Low EF detection AI. For the first time, U.S. healthcare providers can now detect Low EF, a key heart failure indicator, in 15 seconds using an Eko stethoscope during a routine physical examination.
Greetings! Today, I’m going to share some of my personal “rules for health.” These aren’t rules in the sense that I never deviate from them or punish myself when I do. Rather, they’re things I try to abide by each day. They’re my health non-negotiables (most of the time). Some of these are evidence-based: formed from research that seemed applicable and likely to lead to positive health or performance outcomes.
April 3, 2024 — In gearing up for its Annual Scientific Session, ACC.24, amidst the 75th anniversary of the organization, the American College of Cardiology (ACC) has planned a full range of educational programming, special events and peer networking scheduled throughout the April 6-8 event in Atlanta, GA. Here is an overview of sessions, events and meetings coordinated to help members in particular specialties, sections and areas of interest learn and engage with peers and expert cardiology pro

AI is transforming clinical trials—accelerating drug discovery, optimizing patient recruitment, and improving data analysis. But its impact goes far beyond research. As AI-driven innovation reshapes the clinical trial process, it’s also influencing broader healthcare trends, from personalized medicine to patient outcomes. Join this new webinar featuring Simran Kaur for an insightful discussion on what all of this means for the future of healthcare!
Global life expectancy increased by 6.2 years since 1990, according to a new study. Over the past three decades, reductions in death from leading killers fueled this progress, including diarrhea and lower respiratory infections, as well as stroke and ischemic heart disease. When the COVID-19 pandemic arrived in 2020, however, it derailed progress in many locations.

Research Highlights: Asian American adults with more unfavorable factors related to income level, education, housing, access to health care and other social variables had a greater likelihood of having risk factors for cardiovascular disease in this.
Cardiovascular diseases, including myocardial infarction and stroke, are the world's leading cause of death, claiming around 18 million lives a year. This observation justifies the adage that you are only as old as your arteries and explains why researchers are working relentlessly to understand how the cardiovascular system develops and functions.
Over the last three decades, heart disease deaths have plummeted in the US, but a new study suggests cardiovascular benefits apply only to people in higher-income populations. For poor populations, heart attack rates stayed the same or got worse during that 30-year period.
milla1cf Wed, 04/03/2024 - 18:58 April 3, 2024 — GE HealthCare announced the launch of Caption AI artificial intelligence (AI)-driven software for rapid cardiac assessments at the point of care on Vscan Air SL. Now, with Caption AI technology, clinicians using Vscan Air SL handheld ultrasound will have access to real-time, step-by-step guidance to capture diagnostic-quality images and automated ejection fraction estimation to help inform clinical decisions across cardiac settings.
More than half of newly diagnosed cases of type 1 diabetes occur in adulthood. This review focuses on the prevention of cardiovascular disease in patients with type 1 diabetes.

Many studies have shown that potentially lethal heart rhythm disturbances ('ventricular arrhythmia') are more likely to occur in the morning, when people wake after a night's sleep, but until now the trigger mechanism has not been fully understood.
This feature about a women with AF triggered by sepsis offers a case vignette accompanied by two essays, one supporting oral anticoagulant therapy after discharge and the other recommending no anticoagulant therapy.
There are over 70 million chest X-rays performed in the U.S. every year, and a pair of new studies highlighted how AI could be used to “opportunistically screen” these exams for undetected cardiovascular disease. A Mass General Brigham team writing in the Annals of Internal Medicine detailed how their deep learning system was able to identify patients with greater 10-year risks of experiencing major cardiovascular events by analyzing their chest X-rays.
Circulation, Ahead of Print. Guideline-directed medical therapies and guideline-directed nonpharmacological therapies improve quality of life and survival in patients with heart failure (HF), but eligible patients, particularly women and individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, are often not treated with these therapies. Implementation science uses evidence-based theories and frameworks to identify strategies that facilitate uptake of evidence to improve health.
Participants who received facilitated telemedicine initiated DAA therapy faster and had greater cure rates than those who were referred to an off-site hepatitis specialist.
In the rapidly evolving landscape of medicine, simulation-based training has emerged as a pivotal tool in medical education, offering a realistic and safe environment to practice various procedures and scenarios. For doctors in different fields of medicine, this form of training is invaluable, providing numerous benefits that translate to improved patient care and outcomes.

Stroke, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:Poststroke depression (PSD) is a treatable and common complication of stroke that is underdiagnosed and undertreated in minority populations. We compared outcomes of Black and White patients with PSD in the United States to assess whether race is independently associated with the risk of recurrent stroke and mortality.METHODS:We used deidentified Medicare data from inpatient, outpatient, and subacute nursing facilities for Black and White US patients from Janua

Stroke, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a progressive, occlusive disease of the internal carotid arteries and their proximal branches, with the subsequent development of an abnormal vascular network that is rupture-prone. Steno-occlusive changes in the posterior cerebral arteries (PCAs) may contribute to worsened outcomes in patients with MMD; however, there is little information on the incidence and natural history of posterior circulation MMD (PCMMD).
These data may have impactful clinical and health policy implications, given that hospitalizations for CAP are known to be common and given the frequency of incorrect diagnoses.
