Among patients with severe mitral regurgitation (MR) who are poor candidates for surgery but survive a complex percutaneous procedure and its aftermath, mitral valve replacement (TMVR) with the Tendyne (Abbott) transcatheter device may reduce the severity of disease, improve symptoms, and lower the rate of hospitalization for heart failure over 2 years, according to new data. Yet two in five people treated died during follow-up, most within the first 3 months, leading some to insist that patient selection needs to be further refined before this procedure can be used more routinely.

There is a disproportionate representation of diverse racial and ethnic groups when compared to the over-representation of white counterparts in clinical trials. Since race and ethnicity are known to contribute to interindividual differences in drug exposure along with responses, the risk-benefit ratio is thus altered in certain populations. At the 14th American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Conference on the Science of Cancer Health Disparities in Racial/Ethnic Minorities and the Medically Underserved, held virtually on 68 October, the results of a simulated pancreatic cancer clinical trial screening process revealed that Black patients were significantly more likely to be excluded from pancreatic clinical trials than their white counterparts.

The forum emphasised on exchange of knowledge on latest innovations and clinical trials by leaders in Interventional cardiology from both India and United States. Over 25 million heart failure cases worldwide and 8-10 million heart failure patients in India, which translates into 40% of global burden heart failure. Continue reading →

Introduction Cardiac output (CO) is the primary driver of blood pressure (BP) and is closely linked to BP. Patients with heart failure and low BP (HF-LBP) have increased rates of in- and out-of-hospital mortality. There are two important features in the pathophysiology of hospitalized patients with HF-LBP, namely congestion and low CO. Continue reading →

Its no secret that getting accepted into medical school is highly competitive, and for those who are admitted, making the choice of which school to attend can feel overwhelming. Hearing insights and advice directly from those who have successfully navigated the process and are currently thriving in medical school ahead of you, though, can be invaluable Continue reading →

National trial will study biomarkers that predict delayed recovery in children, teens Researchers at the University of Rochester Medical Center are part of a new collaborative project, led by the University of California, Los Angeles, to study concussions in children and teens. The project, which was awarded $10 million from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, will test ways to predict which kids will develop persistent symptoms after a concussion, so researchers can study how to help them recover faster Continue reading →

Scientific researches of scientists of the Department of Hospital Therapy of the Medical Institute in the field of cardiology are presented at an international conference. On October 7-9, 2021, Dubai (UAE) hosted the 12th Annual Conference of the Emirates Cardiological Society in collaboration with the American Heart Association Continue reading →

The more complicated a primary endpoint, the greater a puzzle it can be for clinicians to interpret the results. It's likely even tougher for patients, who don't help choose the events studied in clinical trials yet are increasingly sharing in the management decisions they influence Continue reading →

Previously reported benefits of alcohol intake for patients with cardiovascular disease appear to be partially mediated through modulation of stress-associated brain activity, a new study suggests. Continue reading →
