Randomized investigation of the MitraClip device in heart failure: Design and rationale of the RESHAPE ‐HF2 trial design
ConclusionsThe RESHAPE-HF2 trial will provide sound evidence on the MitraClip device and its effects in HF patients with FMR. The recruitment was recently completed with 506 randomized patients. (Source: European Journal of Heart Failure)

The effect of sodium ‐glucose co‐transporter 2 inhibitors on outcomes after cardiac resynchronization therapy
ConclusionsWe observed an improvement in mortality in patients undergoing CRT prescribed SGLT2i compared with those not prescribed SGLT2i, despite similar degrees of reverse remodelling. The authors recommend starting SGLT2i prior to CRT implantation, where it does not delay implantation. (Source: ESC Heart Failure)

Initial experience with cardiac contractility modulation devices in Latin America for the treatment of heart failure
CONCLUSIONS: The modulation of cardiac contractility is currently a treatment option for patients with heart failure in functional class III-IV, with LVEF 25-45%, and a QRS < 130 ms who are not candidates for cardiac resynchronization therapy.PMID:38631374 | DOI:10.24875/ACM.24000021 (Source: Archivos de Cardiologia de Mexico)
