Global Longitudinal Strain Reference Values in the Hispanic/Latino Population: Echocardiographic Study of Latinos (ECHO-SOL)

Aug 8, 2026 by in CARDIOLOGY Comments Off on Global Longitudinal Strain Reference Values in the Hispanic/Latino Population: Echocardiographic Study of Latinos (ECHO-SOL)
Global longitudinal strain (GLS) is a sensitive measure for detecting early cardiac dysfunction, but prone to variability by age, race/ethnicity, and sex. To date, GLS has not been described in…

Valve-in-Valve Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement is a Viable Option After Both Transcatheter, or Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement

Aug 8, 2026 by in CARDIOLOGY Comments Off on Valve-in-Valve Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement is a Viable Option After Both Transcatheter, or Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement
The evidence supporting transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has expanded dramatically over the past decade, starting from being recommended in patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis (AS) at high risk…

Optical Coherence Tomography versus Intravascular Ultrasound-Guided Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction: A Multicenter Propensity-Matched Analysis

Aug 8, 2026 by in CARDIOLOGY Comments Off on Optical Coherence Tomography versus Intravascular Ultrasound-Guided Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction: A Multicenter Propensity-Matched Analysis
Current guidelines recommend intravascular imaging guidance for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). While both optical coherence tomography (OCT) and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) are endorsed, comparative data in STEMI remain limited. To…

Concomitant Tricuspid Annuloplasty During Degenerative Mitral Valve Repair: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Aug 8, 2026 by in CARDIOLOGY Comments Off on Concomitant Tricuspid Annuloplasty During Degenerative Mitral Valve Repair: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is common among patients undergoing surgery for degenerative mitral regurgitation (DMR) and is associated with adverse outcomes. The role of concomitant tricuspid annuloplasty (TA) during mitral valve…

Evaluating the Accessibility of Transcatheter and Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement Across the US Via Driving-Times

Aug 8, 2026 by in CARDIOLOGY Comments Off on Evaluating the Accessibility of Transcatheter and Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement Across the US Via Driving-Times
While transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a rapidly expanding minimally invasive alternative to surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR), its access might be limited due to proximity to a TAVR…

Dynamic Changes in Right Ventricular-Pulmonary Arterial Coupling During Acute Heart Failure Hospitalization: Prognostic Implications

Aug 8, 2026 by in CARDIOLOGY Comments Off on Dynamic Changes in Right Ventricular-Pulmonary Arterial Coupling During Acute Heart Failure Hospitalization: Prognostic Implications
Right ventricular (RV)- pulmonary arterial (PA) uncoupling is an important predictor of outcomes in heart failure (HF), yet it may change substantially during hospitalization for acute HF. This study sought…
