CVD Polypill: High Value, Cost Savings in Underserved Population
A polypill for cardiovascular disease may be cost saving and a high value treatment in a low-income, majority Black population with limited health care access at a price point of $463, according to findings from a cost-effectiveness study published in JAMA Cardiology.
Post-MI Risk of Incident HF Higher Than Risk of Recurrent MI
The risk of incident heart failure (HF) after a myocardial infarction (MI) is up to six-fold higher than the risk of recurrent MI and the prognosis is worse among those who develop incident HF, regardless of LVEF category, according to a study published in the European Heart Journal.
Digital Twins Accurately Detect Substrate Abnormalities in VT Ablation
Personalized heart digital twin models accurately detect substrate and functional abnormalities during ablation for scar-dependent ventricular tachycardia (VT), according to findings from a single-center study published in Circulation.
