Highlights • Many patients fail to undergo intervention transcatheter mitral valve intervention. • Even at a large, tertiary center, 62% of referred patients are treated medically. • Exclusion reasons include…
Chronic pressure-overload induces right ventricular (RV) adaptation to maintain RV–pulmonary arterial (PA) coupling. RV remodeling is frequently associated with secondary tricuspid regurgitation (TR) which may accelerate uncoupling. Our aim is…
The ECG findings during sudden collapse (syncope or sudden death) in severe aortic stenosis (AS) are not well defined. We conducted a comprehensive review of the literature for ECG data…
The prognostic impact of preexisting atrial fibrillation or flutter (AF) in low-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis treated with transcatheter (TAVR) or surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) remains unknown. In…
Clinical outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) have significantly improved with the accumulation of operator and institution experience as well as the wide use of newer generation devices. There…
Increased carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) is associated with heart failure (HF) in previous studies, but it is not known whether the association of cIMT differs between HF with reduced (HFrEF)…
Major adverse cardiac event (MACE) and bleeding risks following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute coronary syndromes (ACS) are not well defined in individuals with heart failure (HF). We followed…
Highlights • Despite trending upward, the overall prevalence of palliative care usage is exceedingly low (14.1%). • One third of all patients with advanced heart failure complicated by cardiogenic shock…
Given the role of comorbid conditions in the pathophysiology of HFpEF, we aimed to identify and rank the importance of comorbid conditions associated with post-hospitalization outcomes of older adults hospitalized…
Highlights • Atrial fibrillation / Atrial fibrillation flutter incidence and mortality rate has increased in the United States. • The greatest incidence rates for men in 2017 were clustered in…
