Defective cilia linked to heart valve birth defects

Echopoint raises £2.8m to address the ‘grey zone’ of heart disease treatment

Echopoint raises £2.8m to address the ‘grey zone’ of heart disease treatment Coronary heart disease is a cause Echopoint raises £2.8m of death worldwide more than 7 million have a diagnosis in UK alone. Narrowing caused by disease commonly treated by of tiny tubes called many of whom undergo invasive surgery as a Echopoint has developed inexpensive which use fibre-optic sensors accurately measure blood pressure flow, Parkwalk two from Innovate UK. will use funding further develop optical sensors on its. Coronary heart disease is a major cause of death worldwide, and more than seven million people in the UK alone have a diagnosis. Narrowing arteries caused by the disease are commonly treated by the insertion of tiny tubes called stents – but this process is both risky and expensive. Current methods for determining whether to place a stent are inadequate. Dye-based imaging techniques deliver inconclusive results on the need for a stent, resulting in a large ‘grey heart disease ...

Scientists have long known that humans are built for endurance, with our shock-absorbing joints and springy tendons. Now, a new study shows people’s hearts are also optimized for endurance—though how much depends on whether we run, farm, or stay put on the couch. To get to the heart of the matter, researchers used ultrasound imaging to examine the hearts of more than 160 adult men from four groups: long-distance runners, sedentary adults, highly trained football linemen, and the Tarahumara, hypertensive cardiovascular disease Native American farmers renowned for their running ability. For comparison, they also looked at the hearts of 43 adult male chimpanzees—one of our closest evolutionary cousins. When researchers compared the thickest of the heart’s four ...

TAVR Hospital Burdens Reduced in Heart Failure Patients

TAVR Hospital Burdens Reduced in Heart Failure Patients An assessment into transcatheter aortic replacement (TAVR) therapy’s effect hospitalized costs, and show the first positive for such endpoints in with heart failure (HF).

Though limited by its observational design, the study supports current recommendations for ICD use. PARIS, France—Use of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) for the primary prevention of sudden cardiac death in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) is associated with a lower mortality risk, a new propensity-matched analysis shows, easing some of the concern that the devices wo...
