Vessel-Level Coronary Atherosclerotic Plaque Activity Predicts Myocardial Infarction Risk
Cardiology Update
JUNE 16, 2024
Coronary artery disease remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Recent research has illuminated the role of total coronary atherosclerotic plaque activity across the entire coronary arterial tree in predicting patient-level clinical outcomes. However, the association between vessel-level coronary atherosclerotic plaque activity and the incidence of vessel-level myocardial infarction (MI) has not been fully explored.
Mechanisms modulating foam cell formation in the arterial intima: exploring new therapeutic opportunities in atherosclerosis
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
JUNE 16, 2024
In recent years, the role of macrophages as the primary cell type contributing to foam cell formation and atheroma plaque development has been widely acknowledged. However, it has been long recognized that diffuse intimal thickening (DIM), which precedes the formation of early fatty streaks in humans, primarily consists of lipid-loaded smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and their secreted proteoglycans.
Bridging Innovation & Patient Care: The Growing Role of AI
Speaker: Simran Kaur, Co-founder & CEO at Tattva Health Inc.
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!

“Diastolic blind spots” in VT
Dr. S. Venkatesan MD
JUNE 16, 2024
Like coronary blood flow, intra-cardiac electricity must flow in a pre-designated path at a specific time interval with absolute discipline. Any deviation or trespassing results in arrhythmia. While, minor aberrations are accepted, major deviations due to structural or functional reentry within the ventricles presenting as VTs (Scars, Infiltrates, etc) need immediate or at least early attention.

Combining electrocardiogram smartwatches and remote monitoring to diagnose palpitations and pre-syncope
HeartRhythm
JUNE 16, 2024
Paroxysmal palpitations affect approximately 1 in 300 individuals, posing a significant challenge in correlating symptoms with cardiac rhythm disturbances.1 Pre-syncope, characterized by symptoms like lightheadedness and malaise, presents a similar diagnostic challenge due to the difficulty in capturing an ECG during episodes. Initial diagnostic tools, such as the 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) and traditional ambulatory monitoring, frequently fall short in providing a conclusive diagnosis.
