Is TAVR better than surgery for aortic stenosis patients?

13 Nov 2023 by

Treatment with transcatheter aortic-valve replacement (TAVR) or surgery in low-risk patients with severe, symptomatic aortic stenosis results in similar and low clinical event rates at 5 years, according to the results of the PARTNER 3 study.

TTVR system holds promise for severe tricuspid regurgitation

13 Nov 2023 by

Transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR) using the EVOQUE system was feasible and had an acceptable safety profile in patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR), according to initial data from the pivotal TRISCEND II trial.

Women more likely to undergo TAVR, at higher risk of in-hospital death

12 Nov 2023

Use of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is still not common among young patients, being restricted only to those at increased risk, reports a study in France. Significant differences in sex appear in patient demographics, selection of aortic valve replacement (AVR) modality, and patient outcomes.

Sugar, except from fruits and veggies, ups risk of CHD

11 Nov 2023

Consumption of total sugar, total glucose equivalents (TGE), added sugar, and fructose from added sugar and juice appears to increase the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), reveals a study. However, intake of total fructose equivalents (TFE) and fructose from fruits and vegetables does not.

Right heart thrombus with pulmonary embolism tied to poor survival, ICU admission

11 Nov 2023

Clinical presentation is more severe and survival much lower among patients with right heart thrombus and pulmonary embolism, who also require more advanced therapies, compared with those without a concomitant pulmonary embolism, a study has found. Thrombus mobility and size contribute to the development of concomitant pulmonary embolism.

RADIANCE: BP lowering with renal denervation maintained at 6 months

11 Nov 2023 by

Across the RADIANCE trials, individuals treated with renal denervation remain to have a lower medication burden throughout the 6-month follow-up period even after the reintroduction of blood pressure (BP)-lowering drugs.

Lower chance of new stroke with ticagrelor vs clopidogrel in patients without ICAS

11 Nov 2023 by

A post hoc analysis of the CHANCE-2 randomized controlled trial (RCT) demonstrates that ticagrelor-aspirin combination therapy is associated with a significantly lower risk of new stroke within 90 days vs the clopidogrel-aspirin combination in Chinese CYP2C19 loss‐of‐function allele carriers with minor stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA) without intracranial artery stenosis (ICAS).

Machine learning predicts AF in heart failure patients

10 Nov 2023 by

Use of machine learning (ML) can help pinpoint novel factors that contribute to an increased risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) in non-White patients with heart failure (HF), suggests a study. Specifically, social factors such as living alone may significantly heighten the AF risk.

Catheter ablation beneficial to AF patients with end-stage heart failure

08 Nov 2023

When combined with guideline-directed medical therapy, catheter ablation helps reduce the risk of adverse outcomes such as death, left ventricular assist device implantation, and urgent heart transplantation in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and end-stage heart failure, according to data from the CASTLE HTx study.
