Treating Severe Calcification With an Atherectomy Device Does Not Improve Cardiac Stenting Outcomes, Study Finds

First-of-its kind work led by Mount Sinai researcher supports reserving this technique for extreme cases

SGLT2 Inhibitor Empagliflozin Is Shown to Be Safe and Effective for Treating Patients Who Have Suffered a Heart Attack

The SGLT2 inhibitor empagliflozin confers kidney-protective benefits and can therefore be given safely and effectively to patients when they are hospitalized for acute myocardial infarction (MI), a Mount Sinai-led global team of researchers has shown.

RNA Inhibitor Is Shown Safe and Effective in Reducing a Wide Range of Cholesterol and Triglyceride Levels in the Blood in Mount Sinai-Led Clinical Trial

A small interfering RNA (siRNA) investigational therapy that inhibits a gene involved in lipoprotein metabolism has been shown in a clinical trial led by Mount Sinai researchers to significantly reduce levels of different types of cholesterol and triglycerides in individuals with mixed hyperlipidemia, a condition in which fats build up in the blood.

Coronary Bioresorbable Scaffolds Nearly as Safe and Effective as Conventional Metal Stents for Heart Disease Patients

First-generation bioresorbable vascular scaffolds (BVS) may be just as effective as drug-eluting metallic stents, which are currently the standard treatment for heart disease patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

High-Dose Anticoagulation Can Reduce Intubations and Improve Survival for Hospitalized COVID-19 Patients

High-dose anticoagulation can reduce deaths by 30 percent and intubations by 25 percent in hospitalized COVID-19 patients who are not critically ill when compared to the standard treatment, which is low-dose anticoagulation.

Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair in Heart Failure Patients Significantly Reduces Hospitalizations and Improves Survival

Breakthrough findings from study led by Mount Sinai researcher could improve outcomes for high-risk patients

New Risk Score Predicts Mortality for Atrial Fibrillation Patients Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
