| |  In the current issue of Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications (Volume3, Number 2, 2018, pp. 237-250(14); DOI: Randy R. Jeffrey, Robert F. Hamburger, Janelle Gooden-Ebanks and John W. Petersen from the Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, Department of Medicine, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, USA consider impaired longitudinal strain as a common deficit in various cardiac diseases. | |
|
| |  Single-cell microinjection system represents an innovative way to integrate exogenous material into cells and to extract and transmit cellular components between cells. | |
|
| |  Penumbra, Inc., a global healthcare company focused on innovative therapies, today announced U.S. commercial availability of the Penumbra System's most advanced technology: Penumbra JET 7 and Penumbra JET D Reperfusion Catheters powered by the Penumbra ENGINE aspiration source. | |
|
| |  Chromatography is the process by which compounds within a mixture are separated. This can be achieved by properties such as size, and how the compounds interact with the mobile and solid phases of chromatography. | |
|
| |  Researchers from New York Institute of Technology have secured $426,621 in funding from the National Science Foundation for the acquisition of a micro-computed tomography machine. | |
|
| |  The Mitos Duo XS-Pump has been specifically developed for applications such as droplet generation, where an extremely smooth flow rate is required. The microfluidic pumping system achieves this through its advanced drive electronics that eliminate the pulsation from the stepper motor, providing a pulse-free flow. | |
|
| |  The Meros TCU-125 from Dolomite is an advanced temperature controller for microfluidic chips and other devices. It can provide extremely accurate control of a fixed temperature from 1 °C to 125 °C with rapid temperature ramps. | |
|
| |  Zeus makes cutting-edge polymer parts for medical devices designed for minimally invasive medicine. These core products are built to deliver better performance with improved manufacturing ease. | |
|
| |  The Mitos P-Pump Remote provides pulseless liquid flow operating over a wide pressure range (0 – 10 bar) with excellent response time and accuracy. Pressure driven flow is ideal for microfluidic systems where highly stable flow is required in the nL/min to mL/min range for applications such as droplet formation. | |
|
| |  In a proof of concept study, scientists at Johns Hopkins report they have successfully performed 3D personalized virtual simulations of the heart to accurately identify where cardiac specialists should electrically destroy cardiac tissue to stop potentially fatal irregular and rapid heartbeats in patients with scarring in the heart. | |
|
| |  A new wearable ultrasound patch that non-invasively monitors blood pressure in arteries deep beneath the skin could help people detect cardiovascular problems earlier on and with greater precision. In tests, the patch performed as well as some clinical methods to measure blood pressure. | |
|
| |  Patients developing AFib after TAVR are at higher risk of death, stroke and heart attack compared to patients who already had AFib prior to the procedure, according to a study today in JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions. The paper is the first nationwide examination of patients who developed AFib for the first time following TAVR. | |
|
| |  Michigan State University has invented a proof-of-concept blood pressure app that can give accurate readings using an iPhone - with no special equipment. | |
|
| |  Coronary angiography after cardiac arrest is important to ascertain potential treatable causes of cardiac arrest, salvage myocardium, and potentially increase long-term survival. The cause of adult out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is typically myocardial ischemia. | |
