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…
To address literature gaps on treatment with real-world evidence, this study compared effectiveness, safety, and cost outcomes in NVAF patients with coronary or peripheral artery disease (CAD, PAD) prescribed apixaban…
The association of atrial fibrillation (AF) with cognitive function remains unclear, especially among racially/geographically diverse populations. This analysis included 25,980 black and white adults, aged 48+, from the national REasons…
HIGHLIGHTS • Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a relatively rare but well-known cause of acute coronary syndrome in women. • Premenopausal women with SCAD show a higher clinical and…
