Medsider Radio: Learn from Medical Device and Medtech Thought Leaders
In this episode of Medsider Radio, we sat down with Howard Rosen, co-Founder and CEO of Evident Vascular, a company developing an AI-powered intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) platform to improve vascular imaging and intervention. Before co-founding Evident, Howard held senior leadership roles at Intact Vascular and Vesper Medical, guiding both companies through successful acquisitions by Philips. He also served in executive roles at Haemonetics and BG Medicine, and spent over two decades at Boston Scientific, where he held a range of leadership positions across the peripheral and cardiovascular franchises.In this interview, Howard shares why launching right — not fast — is the key to success in medtech. He breaks down how Evident built early momentum by investing in deep market validation, engaging KOLs as true collaborators, and resisting scope creep at every turn. Howard also unpacks the company's deliberate regulatory strategy, using early FDA engagement as a tool to de-risk development. On the fundraising front, he explains why board composition matters more than valuation, and why strategic acquirers respond best to credibility, not cold outreach.Before we dive into the discussion, I wanted to mention a few things:First, if you're into learning from medical device and health technology founders and CEOs, and want to know when new interviews are live, head over to Medsider.com and sign up for our free newsletter.Second, if you want to peek behind the curtain of the world's most successful startups, you should consider a Medsider premium membership.

Melissa E. Middeldorp, MPH, PhD is joined by Martin K. Stiles, MBChB, PhD, FHRS, University of Auckland and Waikato Hospital and Eloi Marijon, MD, PhD, Paris University & European Georges Pompidou Hospital, to discuss this Danish nationwide study examines the relationship between socioeconomic position (SEP) and sudden cardiac death (SCD) as well as all-cause mortality (ACM). Analyzing all deaths in Denmark from 2010, researchers found a strong inverse association between both income and education level and the risk of SCD and ACM. Individuals in the lowest income and education groups had significantly higher rates of SCD, even after adjusting for age, sex, and comorbidities. The study highlights that despite Denmark's universal healthcare system, socioeconomic disparities in health outcomes persist, suggesting that factors beyond healthcare access—such as health literacy, lifestyle, and systemic inequalities—play a crucial role. The findings call for further research into the mechanisms driving these disparities and the development of targeted prevention strategies. https://www.hrsonline.org/education/TheLead https://academic.oup.com/europace/article/27/4/euaf001/7958953?login=false Host Disclosure(s): M.

U.S. health officials have issued warnings on two separate Boston Scientific heart devices recently linked to injuries and deaths. AP's Lisa Dwyer reports.
The range of symptoms and affected body systems in Parkinson's disease is extensive. One area that is less frequently discussed is the vestibular system—the inner ear structure directly connected to the brain, responsible for balance and spatial orientation. When this system malfunctions, individuals may experience dizziness, balance problems and an increased risk of falls, highlighting its importance in your overall health. With aging, the inner ear naturally becomes less robust. Although current research has not yet identified a definitive cause for the higher incidence of vestibular dysfunction in people with Parkinson's disease, effective interventions are available. In this episode, Christopher Taylor, Occupational Therapist at Mayo Clinic, will provide insights into the diagnosis and treatment options—namely vestibular therapy—that can assist with symptoms such as dizziness, gait disturbances, freezing, and postural instability. This discussion aims to enhance our understanding of the crucial role played by the inner ear and its connections.

One of the possibilities along the Parkinson's journey is losing the ability to drive safely. This possibility is a scary one. For many, driving equals independence. So, it means more than just the hassle of getting around. It means losing your independence. It can lead to depression and anxiety. However, it is important to be safe on the road while driving a multi-ton vehicle. We must protect ourselves, our family, and others on the road. So, we are talking today with an Occupational Therapist who is so passionate about this topic that she started a business focused on helping people keep their independence if possible. She will take us through the when, why, how of driving while diagnosed with Parkinson's. OTs are the professionals trained to assess patients on activities of daily living which includes testing people on their driving skills. We discuss the testing process and the legal implications. There are many options for people once it is determined there is a driving defiicit. So, don't give up. Ask an Occupational Therapist for suggestions.

Este año la ONU cumple 80 años, y sin ella el mundo no sería igual. En épocas de guerra es urgente defender la palabra, es lo único que nos salva. En la guerra nadie habla: las acciones violentas predominan. A través de este podcast te invitamos a que te unas a la defensa del diálogo pacífico. Hacemos un breve recuento sobre los primeros pasos del derecho internacional y los derechos humanos, desde regulaciones tempranas como las de Aragón y Castilla en la defensa de los indios en el Imperio Español, pasando por principios universales de Emmanuel Kant, y llegando al crisol del pensamiento liberal en América, después de las independencias del siglo XIX. A partir de allí abordamos cómo se gestó la ONU, sus características, visiones y sus más importantes aportes durante el siglo XX. La ONU ayudó a descolonizar el mundo de pensamientos imperiales y todavía hoy lucha, a pesar de todo, por la seguridad, la libertad y la dignidad humana. Notas del episodio: Este episodio fue traído a ustedes gracias a Boston Scientific Si estás interesado en pensar los terribles acontecimientos del hoy, pero no quieres perder la esperanza en el intento, visita la columna de Rodrigo Uprimny: “”Un deber activo de esperanza?”, nuestro invitado especial para la realización de este podcast.

In this episode of the Latin Wealth Podcast, we dive into major developments shaping Latin America's economic and political landscape in 2025. From Costa Rica's quiet rise as a high-tech powerhouse to China's growing influence across Latin America — and the unexpected shift of Latin American migration from the U.S. to Spain — we break down what these global shifts mean for Latinos around the world.Segment 1: Costa Rica's Tech TransformationCosta Rica is becoming Latin America's high-tech hub, recording over $32 billion in exports in 2024. With investments from global tech giants like Intel and Boston Scientific, and a booming medical device sector, this Central American nation is showing the power of innovation, sustainability, and national branding. We discuss how this model could inspire other countries in the region.Segment 2: China's Visa-Free PlayChina is expanding visa-free travel to citizens of Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru, and Uruguay. This is more than a tourism policy — it's a strategic move to deepen China's presence in Latin America. We discuss what this means for global partnerships, trade routes, and diplomatic influence in the Western Hemisphere.Segment 3: “The American Dream is Over?”Trump's aggressive deportation policies are causing many Latin Americans to abandon the U.S. for Spain. We explore how political pressure, cultural ties, and economic opportunity are reshaping migration patterns, and what this means for Latinos chasing opportunity abroad.This episode covers:- Latin America's tech innovation and economic growth- China's bold diplomatic strategies in the region- How shifting immigration policies are changing the Latino diaspora- The future of the American Dream for Latin communities
Prashanthan Sanders, MBBS, PhD, FHRS, University of Adelaide is joined by Jenish Shroff, MBBS, MD, Australian National University, and Pugazhendhi Vijayaraman, MD, FHRS, Geisinger Heart Institute, to discuss this first-in-human feasibility study evaluated a novel helix-based leadless pacemaker (LPCSP) designed to achieve left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP), a capability current LPs lack. The device was temporarily implanted via the internal jugular vein into the interventricular septum in 14 patients, with successful implantation in 10. Electrical performance metrics, including pacing threshold, R-wave amplitude, and impedance, were within acceptable clinical ranges. LBBAP capture was achieved in 5 patients, with no serious device-related adverse events in 85.7% of cases. The study supports the acute safety and feasibility of LPCSP for conduction system pacing. https://www.hrsonline.org/education/TheLead https://www.heartrhythmjournal.com/article/S1547-5271(25)02378-1/fulltext Host Disclosure(s): P.

Michael S. Lloyd, MD, FHRS, Emory University is joined by Edward P. Gerstenfeld, MD, MS, FHRS, University of California, San Francisco, and Christopher C Cheung, MD, MPH, FHRS, Sunnybrook HSC, University of Toronto, to discuss the VOLT-AF IDE study evaluated the safety and effectiveness of a novel balloon-based pulsed field ablation (PFA) catheter system for treating paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation (PAF and PsAF). Conducted at 34 global sites, the study enrolled 394 subjects, with 320 included in the primary analysis. Acute pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) success was achieved in over 99% of veins, and primary serious adverse events occurred in only 1.9% of patients, with no significant complications like esophageal injury or hemolysis. Procedure metrics showed efficient operation times, and early 6-month data suggest promising effectiveness. These initial findings support the Volt™ PFA system as a safe and effective treatment option for AF. https://www.hrsonline.org/education/TheLead https://www.heartrhythmjournal.com/article/S1547-5271(25)02168-X/fulltext Host Disclosure(s): M.

Sandeep A Saha, MD, MS, FHRS, Oregon Heart Center PC is joined by Saket Sanghai, MD, FHRS, Oregon Health & Science University, and Naga Venkata Krishna Chand Pothineni, MD, Kansas City Heart Rhythm Institute, to discuss how the study evaluated the effectiveness of implantable loop recorders (ILRs) in detecting arrhythmias in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Traditional monitoring methods, like Holter monitors, often miss intermittent arrhythmic events in HCM patients. ILRs, offering continuous long-term monitoring, were found to identify clinically significant arrhythmias that might otherwise go undetected. The findings suggest that ILRs can play a crucial role in risk stratification and management of HCM patients, potentially guiding decisions regarding interventions such as implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) implantation. Overall, ILRs enhance the detection of arrhythmias in HCM, leading to improved patient care. https://www.hrsonline.org/education/TheLead https://www.jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jacep.2025.03.005 Host Disclosure(s): S.

Each guest shares insights on the timelines and challenges involved in starting their IO practices, which vary significantly today. For instance, telehealth clinics are particularly viable in private practice IO, thanks to conferencing software and virtual translators. Hybrid care models, which combine in-person and remote consultations, can help overcome patient-level barriers such as time and transportation. The panel also emphasizes how increased clinic availability can significantly drive growth in procedural volume. Finally, they offer advice for starting an IO practice, including the importance of having clinic support staff, building strong relationships with referring physicians, and staying up to date with new technologies. --- TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Introduction 05:38 - Balancing Career Interests and Expectations 07:10 - Building an Interventional Oncology Practice 13:42 - Gaining Trust from Referring Physicians 17:33 - Importance of Open Communication 19:19 - Comparing Clinic Settings 26:01 - Essential Components of a Clinic 33:28 - Narrowing Your Interventional Practice 40:09 - Introducing New Technology --- RESOURCES CME Accreditation Information: https://f7cae4ec-b69e-490d-9e0f-19b16a6f146d.usrfiles.com/ugd/f7cae4_a7c37ea3cd1b4d3fa53d5edf8dfe255b.pdf
