Abbott’s Tendyne TMVR System Works Even in the Sickest MR Patients November 3, 2025
New research presented at TCT 2025 suggests that Abbott’s FDA-approved Tendyne TMVR system leads to significantly better health outcomes in patients with severe mitral annular calcification who were previously considered untreatable. The SUMMIT-MAC trial enrolled 103 patients with severe MAC and found that the challenging patient population showed strong outcomes despite extreme pathology… However, patients […]

Genetic Risk Scores Improve CAD Detection October 27, 2025
Coronary artery disease risk assessment might soon rely on genetic testing, following a UK Biobank analysis that suggests adding a CAD multi-gene risk score to conventional biomarkers significantly improves disease prediction and patient identification. Examining genetic profiles, researchers followed 353k UK Biobank participants without baseline CAD for 11 years on average, and compared the predictive […]
