🫀 With smart devices transforming cardiac rhythm monitoring, does the conventional Holter ECG still have a place?

ECG patches, implantable loop recorders and wearable devices offer different monitoring durations and capabilities. Yet conventional Holter ECG remains valuable for selected clinical scenarios.

🫀 Cardiovascular complications of cancer therapy may emerge during treatment—or years later.

Heart failure, arrhythmias, myocarditis and thromboembolic disease are among the diverse manifestations of cancer therapy-related cardiovascular toxicity.

This review outlines the underlying mechanisms, cardiovascular risk assessment, imaging and biomarker surveillance, cardioprotection and therapy-specific management.

🫀 Tricuspid regurgitation is no longer the “forgotten” valve—but when is the right time to intervene?

A review of the 2025 ESC/EACTS update explores imaging, patient selection, and surgical and transcatheter treatment options.

“ The future is not simply radial-first. It's choosing the safest and most appropriate approach for each patient.”
An important perspective on individualized access selection in interventional cardiology. 🫀

🫀 Just published!

Radial (through the wrist) and pedal (through the foot) access are important frontiers in interventional cardiology.

How we access the arteries matters.

Radial access has transformed heart procedures by reducing bleeding and vascular complications compared with traditional femoral access (through the groin).

Pedal access is also expanding treatment options for certain vascular conditions.

The future is not simply radial-first. It's choosing the safest and most appropriate approach for each patient.

Our new review explores:
• How patient anatomy influences access selection
• Right vs. left radial access
• Conventional vs. distal radial access
• Blood thinners and prevention of radial artery occlusion
• Wire and catheter selection
• Recognition and management of complications
• Future directions in transradial intervention

📖 How are these techniques changing modern heart procedures? Explore our latest review for a practical look at the techniques, benefits, challenges, and future of radial coronary access.

🫀 Radial-first is recommended in ACS—but why does transradial access still fail?

A meta-analysis of 12,621 patients cited in this review identified three leading causes of transradial access failure or crossover to femoral access:

🔹 Failed puncture: 35.3%
🔹 Peripheral occlusion or tortuosity: 24.5%
🔹 Radial artery spasm: 20.1%
This review explores practical considerations for successful transradial procedures, including anatomical variations, right vs. left access, distal radial access, anticoagulation, wire and catheter selection, and complication prevention.
