The Top-Ranked Heart Hospitals in the Rocky Mountain Region: No hospitals in the Rocky Mountain region made the 2023-24 U.S. News & World Report top 50 list, but 3 hospitals in the region scored more than 45 out of 100 in the survey. The three top-ranked heart hospitals in the Rocky Mountain region were: UCHealth UColorado Hospital (Aurora, CO), St. Luke's Health System (Boise, ID), and Intermountain Health (Utah). In the 23-24 U.S. News & World Report (USNWR) survey of American hospitals, nearly 780 hospitals were rated for their effectiveness at delivering care to adult heart patients. The hospitals surveyed were scored on various measures related to heart patient outcomes, the breadth of their heart program and services, and the amount of recognition earned by these hospitals from their peers within the cardiology community. In the 23-24 survey, a score of at least 59.1 out of 100 was required to earn a spot among the top 50 ranked U.S. hospitals for adult heart care. For more insight into the metrics used to rate heart hospitals in the 23-24 USNWR survey, or to find the cardiology rating of other hospitals in the Rocky Mountain region, visit Best Hospitals for Adult Cardiology Care and Heart Surgery: https://lnkd.in/gXm9iWY #cardiology #hearthospital #cardiaccare

The latest findings from the SCAI 2024 conference highlight significant advancements in interventional cardiology, particularly the growing adoption of radial access in PCI procedures. This shift, showing a 2.8-fold increase in radial access usage from 2013 to 2022, has reduced in-hospital mortality, major access site bleeding, and major vascular complications. However, it comes with a slight increase in ischemic stroke risk. At RADPAD® Radiation Protection, we are committed to advancing safety and efficacy in PCI procedures. Our RADPAD® Radiation Protection Shields are designed to minimize scatter radiation exposure, safeguarding the primary physician and supporting staff during these critical interventions. Additionally, our OPN NC Super High-Pressure PTCA Balloons are pivotal in achieving optimal stent expansion, particularly in challenging cases involving heavily calcified lesions. By integrating RADPAD shields and OPN NC balloons into PCI procedures, we can enhance safety and procedural success, ensuring the best outcomes for patients and healthcare professionals. Stay ahead in innovation and safety.

Article alert from the Journal of Comparative Effectiveness Research, partner publication to The Evidence Base®. Comparing the outcomes and costs of cardiac monitoring with implantable loop recorders and mobile cardiac outpatient telemetry following stroke using real-world evidence MCOT was associated with decreased readmissions (p = 0.016), lower healthcare costs (p < 0.001) and a trend toward lower mortality in patients with stroke (p = 0.051), when compared with ILR monitoring in an analysis of US insurance claims from Optum's de-identified Clinformatics Data Mart Database. Authors: Vincent Norlock (Philips), Reynaldo Vazquez (Philips), Alexandria Dunn (Philips), Christian Siegfried (Veranex), Manish Wadhwa (Philips) and Goran Medic, PhD, Pharm.D.

For mass screening for Afib with ECG to work, it has to work cost-effectively. Fortunately, it appears to have the potential to do so, and greater access to screening is likely to enhance the quality of care delivered to patients with Afib and, ultimately, improve their clinical outcomes. #ePeeps #DCARInsights #cardiology
