Regenerative heart therapy, integrating biocompatible materials with nucleic acids, proteins and live cells, offers a promising personalized approach to treating cardiac ischemic reperfusion injury and heart failure.
Counterintuitively, use of cerebral embolic protection failed to reduce the incidence of stroke in the 72 hours following a transcatheter aortic valve replacement or implantation found a late-breaking clinical trial presented at ACC.25, the American College of Cardiology’s annual scientific session held March 29-31 in Chicago and simultaneously published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
GE Healthcare Technologies Inc. gained full ownership of Nihon Medi-Physics Co. Ltd. after acquiring the remaining 50% stake from Sumitomo Chemical Co. Ltd. on March 31.
Top-line data from the second and third parts of Edgewise Therapeutics Inc.’s four-part phase II Cirrus-HCM study in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) has produced more positive data. There was however less enthusiasm for the results than there had been in September for the first batch of data.
In a study published in Nature Communications, researchers from Nanjing University present a novel nanovaccine cocktail formulated by individual conjugation of antigen p210 and adjuvant CpG ODNs onto superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs).
The two-year results of TRILUMINATE trial showed the first objective benefit to use of Abbott Laboratories’ Triclip transcatheter tricuspid edge-to-edge repair device in a presentation at ACC.25, the American College of Cardiology’s annual scientific session held March 29-31 in Chicago and simultaneously published in Circulation.
Don’t wait. Edwards Lifesciences Corp.’s additional insights from the Early TAVR trial showed a clear benefit for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in patients with asymptomatic aortic stenosis.
When every minute matters, quickly determining which patients in the emergency department need urgent care for myocardial infarction can save lives. Researchers at the University Hospital Münster in Münster, Germany, developed a deep learning model that can detect features on electrocardiograms that more accurately identifies which patients require urgent revascularization than clinicians and provides results faster than high-sensitivity troponin lab tests.
Milestone Pharmaceuticals Inc.’s heart rhythm-restoring calcium channel blocker for paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) has yet another obstacle in its way.
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are monoclonal antibodies activating the immune system to kill tumor cells, representing a major advancement in cancer treatment. However, by activating T-cell immunity, ICI treatment can lead to immune-related adverse events affecting the several organs, including the heart.
