Extracranial Bleeding Prediction Challenges
Multivariable models remain inadequate in predicting extracranial bleeding from oral anticoagulant therapy as reported in Circulation.
Cognitive Safety in Atrial Fibrillation Treatment

Coronary Inflammation Technology
Caristo Diagnostics announced that its CaRi-Heart software received FDA de novo authorization for quantifying coronary inflammation from routine coronary CT angiograms.
PCI Support Options
In a randomized trial, prophylactic micro-axial flow pump support proved noninferior to veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with severely reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (European Heart Journal).
Coronary Drug-Coated Balloons
A study published in Journal of the American Heart Association showed that longer inflation times for coronary drug-coated balloons were associated with better PCI outcomes.
Surgery for Mitral Regurgitation
Research suggests that surgery for mitral regurgitation may reduce mortality risk in asymptomatic patients with a large effective regurgitant orifice area (JAMA Cardiology).
Minimally Invasive Surgery
The MIST trial supported minimally invasive cardiac surgery as an alternative to standard sternotomy for coronary artery bypass grafting (The Lancet).
Cardiovascular Health Risks
A large multi-country study found that heat waves and landscape fire smoke pose synergistic hazards to cardiovascular health (Journal of the American College of Cardiology).
