Northern Health in Victoria just became one of six sites in Australia and New Zealand offering a breakthrough procedure that makes preventing strokes safer than ever. Two patients have already undergone the innovative surgery and are recovering beautifully.
A breakthrough medical device designed to prevent strokes during artery procedures just achieved a perfect safety record in its first 50 high-risk patients. The results could transform treatment for more than 35,000 Americans each year.
Scientists developed an injectable magnetic gel that blocks stroke-causing blood flow better than current heart implants, with zero clotting in 10-month pig trials. This breakthrough could help millions with irregular heartbeats avoid strokes without risky complications.
Scientists have developed a groundbreaking technique that uses magnetic liquid to seal off a dangerous pocket in the heart where stroke-causing blood clots form. Early animal tests show the gel creates a perfect seal without the risks of current treatments.
A Virginia heart center just became the first in the state to implant a foam device that could protect people with irregular heartbeats from strokes. The innovative treatment offers hope for patients who can't take blood thinners.
A groundbreaking study shows that a small implanted device can protect atrial fibrillation patients from strokes just as well as daily medications. After three years, patients with the Watchman FLX device had equally safe outcomes while avoiding long-term blood thinners.
A 20-year study of over 105,000 women found that eating Mediterranean foods like olive oil, nuts, and vegetables can reduce stroke risk by up to 25%. The research offers hope for preventing one of the world's most devastating diseases.
Scientists developed a magnetic fluid that seals a heart chamber in seconds, eliminating dangerous blood clots that cause strokes. The innovative gel could make heart procedures safer for millions worldwide.
Samsung just launched a heat pump that stays efficient even when temperatures plunge to -13°F, potentially slashing home heating bills while fighting climate change. The breakthrough technology could make clean heating practical for millions living in cold climates.
Good Samaritan Hospital is giving community members free stroke screenings on April 30, helping people catch warning signs early. The preventive health event could save lives by identifying stroke risks before they become emergencies.
A groundbreaking stroke prevention surgery that's helped 150,000 Americans is now saving lives in Australia. Grandmother Lindy Penny was among the first 30 patients to benefit from the safer procedure.
A Danish company just made industrial heating a whole lot greener with modular heat pumps that can power entire districts without fossil fuels. These machines turn electricity into heat three times more efficiently than traditional systems.
A breakthrough medication called asundexian reduces the chance of having another stroke by 26% without increasing dangerous bleeding risks. Nearly 1 in 4 stroke survivors faces another stroke, but this discovery could change their future.
Lori Grijalva couldn't move her right side after a stroke at 64. Today, she's back on the competition platform winning gold medals and teaching others to recognize warning signs.
Korean researchers developed AI technology that spots stroke warning signs weeks before diagnosis by monitoring daily activities in older adults' homes. The breakthrough could shift healthcare from treating disease to preventing it.
New research from the University of Pennsylvania shows that federal cooling assistance programs can prevent heat-related deaths and hospitalizations in vulnerable communities. The findings come as extreme heat threatens to increase cardiovascular deaths by up to 233% by 2065.
Britain is abandoning its hydrogen home heating experiment in favor of electric heat pumps, solar panels, and wind power. The shift marks a major win for proven clean technology over risky experiments.
Japanese manufacturer Daikin just launched eco-friendly propane heat pumps that can replace traditional boilers in everything from small buildings to massive district heating systems. The scalable technology delivers efficient heating while dramatically reducing environmental impact.
A Chinese manufacturer just solved one of home energy's biggest puzzles: a heat pump that runs almost entirely on rooftop solar panels. The system could slash heating and cooling bills to nearly zero.
A Chinese hotel slashed its winter heating bill by $27,000 using a new solar-powered heat pump system that dramatically reduces fossil fuel use. The breakthrough could help thousands of older buildings go green without major renovations.
