What's that sound? A heart murmur can be innocent or serious
Lubb-dupp. Lubb-dupp. Those are the words that healthcare professionals often use to mimic the sound of your heartbeat.

There ’ s Finally a Fully Approved Alzheimer ’ s Drug —But Getting It Won’t Be Easy
It’s a decision that millions of people affected by Alzheimer’s disease and their families have been waiting for—the first fully approved drug that treats the disease, rather than its symptoms. On July 6, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted full approval for lecanemab, or Leqembi, to treat Alzheimer’s in people in the early, mild stages of the neurodegenerative condition.
Doctors can already prescribe lecanemab, which is made by Eisai Inc. and Biogen, since it has been available under accelerated approval from the FDA since January, but that conditional approval has limited access. T...

Why Some Scientists Believe the Future of Medicine Lies in Creating Digital Twins
Within the walls of a 19th-century chapel on the outskirts of Barcelona, a heart starts to slowly contract. This is not a real heart but a virtual copy of one that still pounds inside a patient’s chest. With its 100 million patches of simulated cells, the digital twin—a fully functional simulation of human anatomy— pumps at a leisurely pace as it tests treatments, from drugs to implants.
This digital twin pulses within MareNostrum, a supercomputer used by scientists to simulate features of the real world. These simulations can look just like the real thing, but they are vastly more sophisticated than Holl...

How Does Ebstein ’ s Anomaly Present?
Discussion
Ebstein’s anomaly (EA) accounts for about 0.3-0.5% of all congenital heart disease and about 40% of all tricuspid valve (TV) pathologies. It was first described by Dr. William Ebstein in 1866.
In EA’s simplest form, the TV is displaced inferiorly from the normal hinge points into the right ventricle (RV). This is caused by delamination of both the septal and mural leaflets and they usually form a combined leaflet which can be more adherent to the RV. These anatomical changes causes poor movement of the leaflet(s) and tricuspid regurgitation. Displacement inferiorly can cause decreased RV capacity and...
