AN INNOVATIVE sensor has been developed by researchers from both the University of Notre Dame, France and the University of Florida, USA that could diagnose a heart attack in less than 30 minutes. Currently, it could take hours for healthcare professionals to diagnose a heart attack. The use of an echocardiogram can indicate signs of heart disease, however, in order to detect heart attacks, these professionals need an additional blood sample analysis.

ACCORDING to the researchers at Karolinska Institutet, Sweden there is no significant mortality difference in patients with pacemaker implantations following a transcatheter aortic valve replacement compared to those without pacemaker implantations. The aortic valve regulates blood flow to the main artery in the body, and transcatheter aortic valve replacement is a popular treatment option for patients with severe aortic valve narrowing. The procedure entails the insertion of a catheter from the groin through to the main heart artery, which in turn acts a replacement for the malfunctioning valve and assists in modulating the blood flow. The transcatheter aortic valve replacement technique is a substitute for open-heart surgery.
