Adapted COAPT criteria tied to lower death rates in patients undergoing mitral edge-to-edge repair

14 Dec 2021

A recent study has successfully identified a specific phenotype demonstrating reduced mortality rates in patients with secondary mitral regurgitation undergoing mitral valve transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) by retrospectively applying the adapted COAPT* enrolment criteria.

Losing weight lowers risk of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy

14 Dec 2021

Lifestyle interventions or bariatric surgery leading to preconceptional weight loss effectively reduces the risk of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP), such as pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) and pre-eclampsia (PE), reports a recent meta-analysis.

Herbs, spices improve ambulatory BP of adults at risk of cardiometabolic diseases

13 Dec 2021 by

Mixed herbs and spices, when added into a US-style dietary pattern at relatively high culinary doses, may help improve 24-h blood pressure in adults at elevated risk of cardiometabolic diseases, suggests a study. Such effects are more pronounced in women.

IVIG plus infliximab lessens need for additional therapy in MIS-C

13 Dec 2021 by

Initial treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) plus infliximab resulted in less additional therapy in multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) compared with IVIG alone, according to a recent study.

Microcirculatory resistance predicts allograft rejection, cardiac events after heart transplant

12 Dec 2021

Measuring the index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR) early after heart transplantation can predict subsequent acute allograft rejection (AAR) at 1 year and clinical events at 10 years, suggests a study. In addition, early IMR measurement identifies patients at greater risk and may guide personalized post-transplantation management.

TEVAR effective for severe blunt traumatic aortic injury in older adults

12 Dec 2021

Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is an effective treatment approach for blunt traumatic aortic injury (BTAI) in older or severely injured patients, a recent study has found. Meanwhile, open repair is a viable and important alternative for younger patients or those with unsuitable aortic anatomies.

No penalty to early CABG after stopping ticagrelor

11 Dec 2021 by

Undergoing CABG* within 2 to 3 days after stopping the antiplatelet ticagrelor does not increase the risk of severe/massive bleeding compared with delaying surgery until 5 to 7 days of ticagrelor discontinuation in patients with ACS**, according to the RAPID CABG *** study presented at AHA 2021.

Increasing pulse pressure ups CKD progression risk

11 Dec 2021

Elevations in pulse pressure (PP) appears to aggravate the risk of progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD), a recent study has found. PP may be a potential, noninvasive indicator of CKD progression.
