(Press-News.org) About The Study: This randomized clinical trial found that in patients with advanced heart failure treated with a fully magnetically levitated left ventricular assist device, avoidance of aspirin as part of an antithrombotic regimen, which includes a vitamin K antagonist, is not inferior to a regimen containing aspirin, does not increase thromboembolism risk, and is associated with a reduction in bleeding events.

New AHA Center for Telehealth™ will increase access to quality health care and improve delivery
2023-11-11
According to the American Medical Association, approximately 25% of all patients used telehealth services during the last year, exceeding the 5% who accessed their care this way before the pandemic.[1] The American Heart Association (AHA) Center for Telehealth, unveiled today, recognizes the critical role telehealth can play as a solution to close gaps in health care access, particularly in rural and underserved areas, and deliver quality care to populations that have little to no access to traditional ...
New study finds coronary calcium scores highly effective in identifying heart disease in people without any known risk factors
2023-11-11
While high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes and smoking are well known heart disease risks, not everyone who has a heart attack has them. In fact, previous research has shown that 14% to 27% of heart attack patients have none of these risk factors.
Now, a new study from researchers at Intermountain Health in Salt Lake City finds that these patients had one thing in common: they all tended to have high levels of coronary calcium.
Results of the new Intermountain study show that scans that detect this kind of plaque buildup should be considered as ...
