Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors have been shown to be efficacious in reducing mortality and heart failure hospitalizations in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction. However, their role…
Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) guidance during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) provides a superior assessment of coronary artery dimensions, plaque morphology, and optimal stent expansion compared with coronary angiography. Optical coherence tomography…
Several recent publications have described myopericarditis cases after the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination. However, it is uncertain if these cases occurred secondary to the vaccination or more common etiologies…
Supravalvar aortic stenosis (SVAS) severity guides management, including decisions for surgery. Physiologic and technical factors limit the determination of SVAS severity by Doppler echocardiography and cardiac catheterization in Williams syndrome…
Patients presenting with severe aortic stenosis and large aortic annuli are challenging to treat because of the size limitations of available transcatheter heart valves. In this study, we aimed to…
The MacNew questionnaire is a disease-specific quality of life measure that has been used in patients with myocardial infarction and heart failure. We aimed to investigate the impact of transcatheter…
Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) are at higher risk of aortic stenosis. Data regarding transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in these patients are limited….
Patients with continuous flow destination therapy (DT) left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) comprise a heterogeneous population. We hypothesized that phenotypic clustering of individuals with DT LVADs by their implantation characteristics…
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is an established treatment for heart failure patients with myocardial dysfunction and delayed ventricular activation, but approximately 25% to 40% of patients do not respond to…
The prognostic effects of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) are inconsistent in recent reports on heart failure (HF). Generally, participants in previous trials were relatively young and had HF with reduced ejection…
