Stick-On Sensor Could Reduce Hospital Readmissions for Heart Failure Complications
A new study has found that the use of a stick-on sensor that alerts clinicians about lung fluid buildup can reduce the likelihood of heart failure patients being readmitted to the hospital by 38% within 90 days. More...10 Mar 2023
Non-Invasive Test Enables Simple and Low-Cost Screening for Stroke Risk Assessment
Carotid atherosclerosis results in various pathological conditions such as stroke. Now, a bedside screening tool that combines an investigational, custom-designed carotid stethoscope and smartphone app has been shown to offer accurate screening for carotid stenosis. More...10 Mar 2023
Dual Source CT Scanners Can Expedite Treatment in Emergency Settings
A new study has found that dual source CT (DSCT) scanners can eliminate the requirement for beta blockers to regulate heart rates during coronary CTA exams, consequently decreasing the time taken to complete the scans, which is particularly important for chest pain patients in emergency settings More...09 Mar 2023
Bracelet Troponin Sensor Predicts Heart Attack With 90% Accuracy in Five Minutes
Troponin-I, a protein that enters the bloodstream when the heart muscle is damaged, is usually assessed using a blood draw as part of routine processes for diagnosing a heart attack when a patient is experiencing chest pain and shows no conclusive signs of a heart attack on their electrocardiogram. Now, an experimental wrist-worn device has been found to predict troponin-I levels and blocked arteries with 90% accuracy in five minutes, potentially preventing more heart muscle damage.

First Commercially Available Lab-Based Blood Test to Help Evaluate Concussion
Abbott Diagnostics has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration clearance for the first commercially available laboratory traumatic brain injury (TBI) blood test, making it widely available to hospitals in the U.S. More...08 Mar 2023
Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair Reduces Hospitalization, Improves Survival in Heart Failure Patients
Breakthrough findings from a new study suggest that the utilization of transcatheter mitral valve repair in heart failure patients with mitral regurgitation can lower the long-term hospitalization rate by almost 50% and reduce the risk of death by nearly 30% compared to heart failure patients who do not undertake the minimally invasive procedure.
