The Use of Imaging to Guide Treatment Decisions with Coronary Orbital Atherectomy – Case 2 of 2
Overview Dr. Brock Cookman describes this real-world case to demonstrate the importance of imaging to determine strategy and treatment in complex scenarios and how the unique dual-action mechanism of action (MOA) of the Diamondback 360® Coronary Orbital Atherectomy System sands superficial and fractures deep calcium. Patient History A 78-year-old female patient presented with ...

Clinical and operational benefits of EchoGo® Heart Failure for HFpEF detection
Preliminary results of a large-scale study demonstrating the clinical benefits of EchoGo® Heart Failure were shared at the American College of Cardiology (ACC 2023) conference last month. Using only an apical four-chamber ultrasound view, this new AI-enabled platform can identify heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and has been shown to minimize the indeterminate ...

Diagnostic yield of automatic and patient-triggered ambulatory cardiac event recording in the evaluation of patients with palpitations, dizziness, or syncope.
BACKGROUND: Recent studies have shown that patient-triggered cardiac event recorders (CER) have an increased diagnostic yield and are more cost effective than conventional 24-h-Holter electrocardiograms (ECGs) for the evaluation of sporadic, potentially arrhythmia-related symptoms. HYPOTHESIS: The aim of this study was to determine the diagnostic yield of a patient-triggered CER combined with ...

Understanding Pediatric Cardiomyopathy: Causes, Symptoms and Treatment Options
Up to 5,000 American infants and children are diagnosed with pediatric cardiomyopathy each year. Learn more about this rare but potentially serious condition. Cardiomyopathy, which is a general term for diseases of the heart muscle, is relatively rare in children, affecting only about 12 out of every 1 million Americans under the age of 18. Among the approximately 1,000 to 5,000 new cases ...

Diagnosing heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF)
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has recently been recognized as the single greatest unmet need in cardiovascular medicine, overtaking heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and becoming the most common form of heart failure, with a prevalence that is increasing by 1% annually.[1] Despite this, there remains no gold standard in diagnosing HFpEF. Diagnosing ...
