High-performance cardiopulmonary resuscitation (HP-CPR) is a technique that emphasizes delivering chest compressions at the correct depth and rate while avoiding excessive leaning and minimizing interruptions. Often referred to as high-quality CPR within the medical community, HP-CPR is a critical skill that anyone can learn to improve survival outcomes for sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) victims. ...
Elderly patients are particularly vulnerable to complications from prolonged immobility, such as pressure sores, muscle atrophy, and infections. The mortality after hip fracture in an elderly patient remains high. This ranges between 15% to 35% within the first year. Prompt surgical intervention, within 24 hours, reduces the risk of these complications and ...
IVS technology improves clinical approval success rates by predicting patients’ responses to drug candidates which is achieved by using the tissue-based discovery platform to predict patient-specific responses to treatments in engineered human tissues derived from patient-specific samples. ...
Quality of life in patients with HFpEF is worse than in those with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).[3] While HFrEF is dominated by left ventricular (LV) impairment, HFpEF results from a complex interplay of cardiac remodeling, peripheral circulation, and concomitant features including age, hypertension, obesity, and diabetes.[4] Gaining a ...
Diagnosing HFpEF is not as straightforward when compared to diagnosing patients with HFrEF, given that the ejection fraction is normal and, therefore, similar to that of patients with non-cardiac dyspnoea. ...
Most patients with HFpEF also display normal LV volumes and an abnormal diastolic filling pattern (i.e, diastolic dysfunction). ...
Barostim™ Brief Summary for Physicians The Barostim System is indicated for the improvement of symptoms of heart failure—quality of life, six-minute hall walk and functional status—for patients who remain symptomatic despite treatment with guideline-directed medical therapy, are NYHA Class III or Class II (who had a recent history of Class III), have a left ...

In addition, studies have broadly failed to show long-term benefit on patient outcomes (Table I in the Data Supplement). The cardiac plexus contains both sympathetic and parasympathetic cardiac nerves, which modulate heart rate, myocardial contraction, and relaxation. ...
DESIGN: Prospective observational study. SETTING: Single institution; cardiac catheterization laboratory, and operating room. PATIENTS: Fifty patients weighing 3-20 kg with baseline saturations less than 90% undergoing surgical or catheterization procedure. ...
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. ...

The study also revealed that using the CAM patch as a point of care solution in the emergency department resulted in new patient referrals to the cardiology/EP department. Between 2018 and 2020, 369 patients were discharged with the CAM patch from the emergency department, and 57 of those patients were then established as cardiac ...
Methods: Among fifty-two post-cardiac surgery patients, serum and urine Gal-3 levels were examined on intensive care unit (ICU) admission. In a rat renal I/R injury model, Gal-3 levels, renal function, and histopathology were evaluated in rats pretreated with P-MCP for one week (n = 16) compared to controls (n = 16). Results: Among ...
Gurbel has two patents, Detection of restenosis risk in patients issued and Assessment of cardiac health and thrombotic risk in a patient. ...
Introduction “Our priority is to provide our customers with the high purity water and steam that is critical to the development and manufacturing of life-saving medications now and for future generations.” —George Gsell, MECO President Nexus Pharmaceuticals, maker of difficult-to-manufacture, high quality, FDA-approved specialty and generic drugs, is opening a $250 million, ...
Tests typically take place in a lab setting, where the patient is monitored overnight while sleeping. Sleep studies can be invasive and uncomfortable for patients, as well as expensive. ...
Aim To investigate the association of high-risk CVD phenotype determined by coronary artery calcification (CAC) with liver fibrosis by MRE in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Method This was a cross-sectional analysis of well-characterised, prospective cohorts including 105 patients with NAFLD (MR imaging-derived proton density fat ...
The company offers remote patient care through its health tracking products both at hospitals and homes. ...
TAILOR-PCI was a 7-year 5,300-patient clinical trial of precision medicine for cardiac stent patients, funded by Mayo Clinic and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). ...
Recapping TAILOR-PCI The TAILOR-PCI trial, funded by the Mayo Clinic and the National Institutes of Health (NIH), investigated whether rapid CYP2C19 genetic testing and personalized antiplatelet therapy could improve health outcomes for heart attack patients receiving cardiac stents. (1) This trial included 5,300 patients at 41 hospitals in the ...
” The acute non-randomised single-arm, single-centre study was conducted at Na Homolce Hospital in Prague. The patient population consisted of patients who were indicated for ICD implantation for primary and secondary prevention of sudden cardiac death prior to implant. The patient cohort included 22 enrolled ...
