A leadless dual-chamber pacemaker with bidirectional wireless communication turned in very promising short-term results in patients with standard indications for dual-chamber pacing, according to the Aveir DR i2i Study.

Coronary anatomy and physiology both predicted early cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) progression, according to a study that strengthens the case for advanced multimodal testing to improve early detection of a major contributor to allograft failure.

DiA Imaging Analysis, an Israel-based healthcare technology company, has gained U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance for LVivo IQS, a new software solution designed to help users acquire high-quality echocardiography images, regardless of their experience.

The vast majority of 500 artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms now cleared for clinical use in the U.S. are for radiology and cardiology. For this reason, cardiologists and radiologists need to learn how these technologies work and realise the clinical use of AI is no longer science fiction.

The ACC/AHA 2021 Chest Pain Assessment Guidelines boosted coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) to a Class 1A level of clinical evidence and helped significantly boost interest in building or expanding cardiac CT programs in the past year. While Cardiac CTA does have a large amount of clinical study support, there are some gaps remaining yet...

In patients undergoing echocardiographic evaluation of cardiac function, preliminary assessment by artificial intelligence (AI) is superior to initial sonographer assessment, according to late breaking research presented in a Hot Line session today at ESC Congress 2022.

Swiss and German researchers have devised an effective diagnostic cardiac MRI workup strategy that has quadrupled the rate of myocarditis detection in patients with myocardial infarction and nonobstructive coronary artery disease. By Wayne Forrest, AuntMinnie.com staff writer

Combining iodine-123 metaiodobenzylguanidine (123I-MIBG) SPECT imaging with cardiac MRI helped identify specific subsets of heart tissue more prone to arrhythmia, or an irregular heartbeat. | www.healthimaging.com | By Melissa Rohman

Researchers from Australia and China have created a 3D-printed heart that mirrors the size and texture of real cardiac tissue, with potential clinical applications in patient and medical education, communication among clinicians, and presurgical planning, according to a recent study published in PLOS One by Abraham Kim, AuntMinnie.com
