| |  Musculoskeletal ultrasound is a non-invasive diagnostic technique to capture images of the muscles, ligaments, tendons, and joints of the body. It is used to diagnose sprains, tears, and other soft tissue injuries. | |

This means that this device could potentially detect heart disease victims by catching early signs of heart problems and save lives say researchers. | |

| |  The debilitating side effects of radiotherapy could soon be a thing of the past thanks to a breakthrough by University of South Australia and Harvard University researchers. | |
|
| |  Clinicians should use echocardiography, an ultrasound that shows the heart's structure and function, when determining whether patients with heart failure and a leaking heart valve are likely to benefit from valve repair, according to research presented at the American College of Cardiology's 68th Annual Scientific Session. | |
|
| |  In an article published in SPIE's Journal of Medical Imaging, researchers announce critical advances in the use of 3D-printed coronary phantoms with diagnostic software, further developing a non-invasive diagnostic method for Coronary Artery Disease risk assessment. | |

|
| |  Remote monitoring keeps heart failure patients out of hospital, according to late-breaking findings from the RESULT trial presented today at EHRA 2019, a European Society of Cardiology congress. The set-up is so effective that it has won reimbursement from the national health system. | |
|
| |  Thousands of patients with congestive heart failure benefit from automatic implantable cardiac defibrillators that deliver shocks to the heart to correct abnormal heart rhythms. These defibrillators improve survival in patients who are at risk for sudden cardiac death. | |
