How the Apple Watch Could Change How We Treat Heart Disease
The new Apple Watch Series 3 gives users more real-time information about their heart than ever, and Apple hopes that it will also be able to alert users to potentially concerning heart beat patterns.
The current version of the Apple Watch already tracks heart rate. But the newest version comes with cellular built in, which means it can record heart rate continuously anywhere you have service. That could provide valuable, instantly accessible data for detecting when things might be awry with your heart—if it’s racing too fast when you’re at rest, for example. You can also set the monitor to alert you if y...

Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Repair Through Right Minithoracotomy - 11-Year Single Institute Experience.
CONCLUSIONS: MIMVR can be performed safely with low levels of mortality and morbidity, and provides sufficient repair durability. A learning curve exists in terms of repair durability, especially for anterior mitral leaflet repair.

Comparing learning curves of two established “single-shot” devices for ablation of atrial fibrillation
ConclusionsWith either of the systems, no significant differences in the effect of the learning curve on the occurrence of adverse events were observed. However, the PVAC array seemed to have a steeper learning curve for procedure, as well as fluoroscopy time.

Long-standing persistent effects of atrial volume reduction combined with pulmonary vein isolation
Publication date: Available online 18 June 2018 Source:Journal of Cardiology Cases Author(s): Masami Takagaki, Naoko Ikeda, Hiroki Yamaguchi, Shinichi Mitsuyama, Tasuku Kadowaki, Tatsuya Nakao Although surgical left atrial (LA) volume reduction combined with mitral valve surgery and/or surgical ablation for atrial fibrillation has been reported to be effective, its long-term outcomes in the absence of mitral procedure are not well established. A 74-year-old man with two previous sternotomies—the first for pericardiectomy due to constrictive pericarditis and the second for mitral valve replacement with mechanical valve a...

Will a New J & amp;J and Apple Collaboration Lead to Better AFib Outcomes?
Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen Pharmaceuticals is teaming up with Apple for a research study to look at how to help improve atrial fibrillation (AFib) outcomes, including stroke prevention, through the use of wearables. The partnership will use an app developed by J&J along with the Cupertino, CA-based company’s Apple Watch.
Recall in September of 2018, Apple received FDA clearance for an ECG app and another software-only mobile medical app analyzing pulse rates for irregular rhythms.
Both companies said the multi-year research program will be launched later in 2019. This large-sca...

Using wearable devices in clinical trials
Brandy Chittester, chief of clinical operations, IMARC
Globally, more than 325 million people own wearable, connected devices, and more than 2.5 billion own smartphones. Using wearable devices in clinical trials can bring huge benefits, however, there are also concerns.
Here’s a look at how researchers are using wearable devices — and what you should consider before using them in your own research.
How wearable devices are advancing medicine
Right now, ClinicalTrials.gov, a global database of clinical trials, lists nearly 200 trials with “wearable devices” or “wearable technology” in the description.
This in...

10 Biggest Myths About Sleeping, According To Researchers
(CNN) — Hey, sleepyheads. What you believe about sleep may be nothing but a pipe dream.
Many of us have notions about sleep that have little basis in fact and may even be harmful to our health, according to researchers at NYU Langone Health’s School of Medicine, who conducted a study published Tuesday in the journal Sleep Health.
“There’s such a link between good sleep and our waking success,” said lead study investigator Rebecca Robbins, a postdoctoral research fellow in the Department of Population Health at NYU Langone Health. “And yet we often find ourselves debunking myths, whether ...

How will artificial intelligence affect diagnosis and treatment of liver disease?
Recent years have seen a dramatic increase in computational capacity and the volume of data stored which has fuelled progress in machine learning methodology. Increasing attention is turning towards the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare; AI is facilitating the diagnosis of several conditions, from atrial fibrillation to stroke, and the treatment of others, such as depression and anxiety. Hepatology could see significant change with the introduction of AI but there are important challenges to consider for ensuring successful integration and implementation.

An artificial intelligence-enabled ECG algorithm for the identification of patients with atrial fibrillation during sinus rhythm: a retrospective analysis of outcome prediction
Publication date: Available online 1 August 2019Source: The LancetAuthor(s): Zachi I Attia, Peter A Noseworthy, Francisco Lopez-Jimenez, Samuel J Asirvatham, Abhishek J Deshmukh, Bernard J Gersh, Rickey E Carter, Xiaoxi Yao, Alejandro A Rabinstein, Brad J Erickson, Suraj Kapa, Paul A FriedmanSummaryBackgroundAtrial fibrillation is frequently asymptomatic and thus underdetected but is associated with stroke, heart failure, and death. Existing screening methods require prolonged monitoring and are limited by cost and low yield. We aimed to develop a rapid, inexpensive, point-of-care means of identifying patients with atrial ...

Calcific embolus resulting in ST elevation myocardial infarction: A rare complication of mitral annular calcification
We present a unique case of an anterior ST elevation myocardial infarction as a result of coronary embolism, the source of which appears to be calcific debris from mitral annular calcification (MAC). Although embolic phenomena in the setting of MAC has been documented previously, particularly in the setting of acute ischemic stroke, to our knowledge this is the first reported case in the literature where MAC alone appears to have resulted in a coronary embolic event.<Learning objective: Myocardial infarction as the result of embolic coronary phenomena is uncommon. Thrombotic emboli in the setting of atrial fibrillation...
