US FDA approves Medtronic's system for heart condition
Posted:
The system, PulseSelect Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA), is used for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF), a condition that is characterized by an irregular rhythm of the heart.
PFA is used for ablation procedures that treat AF using small burns or freezes to cause some scarring on the inside of the heart to help break up the electrical signals that cause irregular heartbeats.
Based on research completed as part of a multi-year collaboration with Nokia Bell Labs, biomedical engineers at Duke University are developing a solution. Using a custom-built optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging system together with artificial intelligence (AI) models grounded in…
Rare conditions in the ICU include both formally classified rare diseases and conditions that occur infrequently in critical care settings. These patients often face delayed diagnosis, limited specialist expertise and complex multisystem involvement, all of which contribute to poorer outcomes…
