Our first peer-reviewed study! We showed how remote monitoring greatly improves clinical outcomes and costs of care for congestive heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction, in part, by using their routinely collected physiologic data to prescribe and titrate four crucial drugs. #cardiology #heartfailure #physicians #medicine

In a newly published manuscript in the Journal of Cardiac Failure, comprehensive remote patient monitoring and care improved clinical outcomes and reduced total cost of care in heart failure patients. Dr. David I. Feldman, cardiovascular medicine fellow at Massachusetts General Hospital and first author on the manuscript, shares of the results: "Our usual way of caring for heart failure patients isn't working. We need to consider all options when it comes to maximizing GDMT and helping patients with heart failure live longer, healthier lives. Collaboration with a centralized RPM program to optimize GDMT titration efforts is a necessary and impactful solution to help close heart failure care gaps and improve outcomes at scale."

A new study by University of Birmingham has shown that a targeted training programme for healthcare professionals can improve part of the care of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), a common heart rhythm disorder. The STEEER-AF cluster-randomised trial was presented last weekend at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress 2024 in a hotline session. Led by Professor Dipak Kotecha, the study found that adherence to existing AF treatment guidelines was generally low across Europe. However, a short, structured educational programme for healthcare professionals led to a 51% improvement in guideline adherence for heart rhythm control, although not a significant improvement for stroke prevention. Improved adherence to guidelines means better care and outcomes for patients with AF.

🌟 Daily Dose of Health Insights July 2🌟 🔹 Today's Highlight: Canadian Medical Team Achieves Breakthrough in Organ Transplant Technique "A medical team in London, Ontario, has achieved a Canadian first with a groundbreaking technique that enhances the viability of donor organs, offering new hope for transplant patients. The procedure, called abdominal normothermic regional perfusion (A-NRP), pumps blood to abdominal organs after circulatory death, re-oxygenating and warming them to minimize damage. Led by Dr. Anton Skaro at the Lawson Health Research Institute, this technique has the potential to significantly increase the number of organ transplants in Canada by protecting organs from damage after circulatory death. The team successfully used A-NRP for the first time in Canada on April 10, optimizing organs from two donors and enabling the transplantation of two kidneys and two livers. The next step is to scale up the method to include thoracic organs such as the heart and lungs." 🔎 Why Stay Updated? In the rapidly evolving field of healthcare, staying informed is crucial.

Congratulations to our cardiology researchers who have recruited more patients into a multinational heart trial than months they have been open as a recruiting site ❤️ Interventional Cardiologist Dr Aetesam-ur-Rahman and Clinical Trials Assistant Franek Skalbania received special commendation for their success in recruiting patients into the EASY-AS trial. The study, which is being funded by the British Heart Foundation in the UK, is looking to find out whether early heart valve replacement leads to better outcomes after five years in patients with aortic stenosis. Once concluded, the findings could change the way patients with #aortic stenosis are treated. Aortic stenosis is a common and serious heart problem, which causes the heart valve to narrow and not fully open. Symptoms include shortness of breath and chest pain. The Sheffield team are one of 100 cardiology sites across the globe taking part in the trial.

This means collaborating with every stakeholder, from the world's leading clinicians, hospital systems and of course regulators to make sure we serve patients needs. For more context about DVT: "DVT, a condition in which blood clots develop in veins, can lead to potentially fatal complications like the spread of blood clots to the heart and lungs (known as pulmonary embolism) as well as debilitating long-term swelling and pain of the legs (called post-thrombotic syndrome). According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, DVT affects up to 900,000 Americans every year and is common in hospitalized patients. DVT is also a significant driver of healthcare costs, costing the US healthcare system up to $10 billion each year. Prompt diagnosis of blood clots is extremely important. The ThinkSono technology leverages real-time AI-powered guidance during point-of-care ultrasound to potentially detect DVT more quickly, accurately, and cost-effectively compared to traditional methods."
