New research investigated the risks associated with energy drink consumption using data from a cohort of sudden cardiac arrest survivors at the Mayo Clinic. A recent study published in Heart Rhythm, the official journal of the Heart Rhythm Society, the Cardiac Electrophysiology Society, and the Pediatric & Congenital Electrophysiology Society, explored the risks associated with energy drink consumption among patients with genetic heart conditions. Conducted at the Mayo Clinic, the research involved 144 survivors of sudden cardiac arrest, with 7 of these patients (5%) having consumed energy drinks shortly before their cardiac event. Although the study did not establish a direct cause-and-effect relationship, caution is advised, and doctors recommend that patients consume energy drinks in moderation.

The American Medical Association (AMA) has issued a Category III Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code for Ultromics' EchoGo Heart Failure. The technology uses AI to detect heart failure with preserved ejection fraction from a single, routinely acquired echocardiographic video. It incorporates large datasets and AI algorithms to identify patterns and correlations that may go undetected by traditional diagnostic methods, Ultromics said. AI findings can help clinicians diagnose and monitor heart failure and track treatment responses.
