A new endovascular catheter, recently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), is paving the way to more effective and safe treatment for acute pulmonary embolism. Already shown to be effective for reducing blockages in lung arteries, new research shows that this catheter also reduces blockages in the smaller segmental pulmonary artery branches.

Circulation, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:It is unknown whether dietary intake of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) modifies the cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk associated with a family history of CVD. We assessed interactions between biomarkers of low PUFA intake and a family history in relation to long-term CVD risk in a large consortium.METHODS:Blood and tissue PUFA data from 40 885 CVD-free adults were assessed.

Hispanic/Latina women with a history of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) -- conditions marked by high blood pressure during pregnancy -- are more likely to have abnormalities in their heart structure and function decades later when compared with women without a history of HDP, according to a new study. The findings also suggest that while having high blood pressure later in life can contribute to these abnormalities, HDP play the greater role, significantly raising a woman's risk of dev

The clinical and economic impact of extended battery longevity of The EV ICD compared to the S-ICD. Abstract Introduction The extravascular implantable cardioverter defibrillator (EV ICD) has extended projected battery longevity compared to the subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (S-ICD). This study used modeling to characterize the need for generator changes, long-term complications, and overall costs for both the EV ICD and S-ICD in healthcare systems of various countries.

Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) has been identified as a notable cause of sudden cardiac death in children and young adults.1 Mutation of ryanodine receptor 2 (RYR2) is observed in the majority of CPVT patients and is inherited through an autosomal dominant pattern.2 Genetic tests can help clinicians diagnose CPVT and identify potentially at-risk individuals so that medication can be prescribed before the onset of lethal arrhythmias.1 The American College of Medical

Abstract Introduction The pivotal study of the extravascular implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (EV ICD) recently demonstrated primary efficacy and safety endpoints comparable to previous ICD systems. Patient experience with this novel device has not been reported. The current study examined the standardized patient-reported outcome (PRO) metrics of quality of life (QOL) and patient acceptance of the device.
