- HRS/ACC Release Guidance For EP Ablation in ASCsWith ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs) continuing to emerge as alternatives to hospital-based care, “appropriately selected procedures in the field of cardiac electrophysiology … could increasingly shift to an ASC setting,†according to a new Heart Rhythm Society (HRS)/ACC Scientific Statement providing “Guiding Principles on the Performance of Intracardiac Ablation Procedures in [ASCs].†The document outlines […]
- Olezarsen for Managing Severe Hypertriglyceridemia and Pancreatitis RiskCORE-TIMI 72a and CORE2-TIMI 72b trials found that olezarsen significantly reduced triglyceride levels at 6 months, as well as decreased the incidence of acute pancreatitis.
- Phase 1 Trial of CRISPR-Cas9 Gene Editing Targeting ANGPTL3A one-time infusion of an investigational CRISPR-Cas9 therapy targeting angiopoietin-like protein 3 (ANGPTL3) was safe and reduced LDL cholesterol by nearly 50% and reduced triglycerides by approximately 55%, based on findings from the CRISPR-Cas9 trial.
- Effectiveness of High-Dose Influenza Vaccine Against Hospitalizations in Older AdultsThe FLUNITY-HD trial demonstrates that the high-dose inactivated influenza vaccine provides superior protection compared with the standard-dose vaccine in preventing hospitalization for severe respiratory infections among older adults.
- Role of Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography in Left Main Coronary Artery Disease: Diagnosis and Decision-MakingThe left main coronary artery (LMCA) supplies 75-100% of the left ventricular myocardium. A threshold of ≥50% luminal narrowing defines severe LMCA stenosis, and guidelines advocate revascularization to enhance survival.
