Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) has been associated with right-sided heart dysfunction and adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Longitudinal data are sparse in terms of understanding the prognostic implications of right ventricular remodeling in…
Vascular access and closure remain a challenge in transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). This single-center study aimed to report the incidence, predictive factors, and clinical outcomes of access-related vascular injury…
Mitral annular calcium (MAC) is a common finding in older patients referred for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) allows fine quantification of the calcific deposits. Our…
Although rare, numerous case reports suggest that Thebesian veins confer increased morbidity and mortality. No study has evaluated their effects on cardiac structure or long-term patient outcomes. Patients undergoing coronary…
The 6-minute walk test distance (6MWD) has been shown to predict prognosis in selected cohorts of patients with heart failure and outcomes after surgical or transcatheter aortic valve implantation (AVI)…
Ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) are known to result in significant morbidity and mortality rates in patients with both ischemic and nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy. Although catheter ablation has emerged as an adjunct…
There are few data comparing the patient characteristics and outcomes of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and heart failure with reduced EF (HFrEF) in Asian cohorts. We aimed…
We aimed to assess if the outcome of primary prevention implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) without cardiac resynchronization therapy is dependent on New York Heart Association (NYHA) class. Among the participants…
Angina pectoris (AP) is associated with worse outcomes in heart failure (HF). We investigated the association of AP with health-related quality of life (HRQoL), exercise capacity, and clinical outcomes and…
Super-response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is associated with significant left ventricular (LV) reverse remodeling and improved clinical outcome. The study aimed to: (1) evaluate whether LV reverse remodeling remains…
