⚡ A new cardiac technology enters the real world. How do we track its safety?
Pulsed field ablation (PFA) has rapidly expanded for atrial fibrillation treatment.
This study used natural language processing (NLP) to analyze nearly 7,000 FDA post-market reports, exploring:
🔹 Adverse event patterns
🔹 Device malfunction profiles
🔹 Real-world safety surveillance

🫀 Clinical trials shape the future of medicine — but who is represented in them?
A systematic review examined demographic representation in transthyretin-associated cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CM) clinical trials.
1️⃣ 16 completed US-based ATTR-CM trials were analyzed
2️⃣ Demographic reporting improved after the 2017 FDA Final Rule
3️⃣ Black participants remained underrepresented compared with disease prevalence
Improving trial diversity is essential for generating evidence that reflects the patients affected.

🫀 How do dying heart cells shape myocardial injury?
Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury involves complex cell death pathways.
A review explores the potential interplay between:
1️⃣ Ferroptosis — iron-dependent oxidative cell death
2️⃣ Pyroptosis — inflammatory cell death
3️⃣ Their molecular connections in cardiac injury
Understanding these pathways may reveal new therapeutic opportunities for protecting the heart.

Sharing insights from Prof. Gianni D. Angelini, Emeritus Professor of Cardiac Surgery at the University of Bristol and British Heart Foundation Professor of Cardiac Surgery. 🫀
Reflecting on more than 40 years in cardiac surgery, this conversation goes beyond techniques and innovations, offering insights into the experiences, challenges, and human side behind a lifelong dedication to improving patient care.
🫀 AI will not replace cardiac surgeons—but it may change how they make decisions.
Prof. Gianni D. Angelini reflects on four decades of cardiac surgery, from coronary revascularization and off-pump CABG to the evolving role of AI in risk prediction and surgical practice.
