A new risk prediction tool developed by the American Heart Association (AHA) estimated cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in a diverse patient cohort more accurately than current models, according to a recent study published in Nature Medicine.

New University of Virginia School of Medicine research suggests an unexpected way doctors may be able to improve blood flow to the brain to battle Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases.

When electrical activity travels across the brain, it moves like ripples on a pond. The motion of these “brain waves,” first observed in the 1920s, can now be seen more clearly than ever before thanks to instruments and techniques created by a Stanford-led team.

The recognition underscores FastWave’s rising prominence in intravascular lithotripsy, as the company expands its intellectual property portfolio and momentum in cardiovascular innovation.

ECG monitor is supporting research at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston aimed at understanding and improving detection of postoperative atrial fibrillation (poAF). Preliminary findings, presented at Euroanaesthesia 2025 in Portugal, show that continuous cardiac rhythm monitoring for up to 14 days after cardiac surgery helped uncover cases of poAF that may have gone undetected during the hospital stay.
