African Americans have worse outcomes after Transcatheter and surgical aortic valve replacement: A National Inpatient Sample Analysis from 2015 to 2020
CONCLUSION: AA were underrepresented, especially in TAVR. AA experienced higher in-hospital mortality post-SAVR, but not after TAVR. Furthermore, AA had more complications for both TAVR and SAVR. These findings underscore the pronounced disparities among AA in aortic valve replacement.PMID:38373538 | DOI:10.1016/j.jjcc.2024.02.003 (Source: Journal of Cardiology)

Outcome after primary percutaneous coronary intervention for ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock
CONCLUSION: The cardiovascular 1-year mortality rate for patients with STEMI was higher for those with CS on admission than without, but the mortality rates of >1 year were comparable. Surviving the early phase is essential for patients with STEMI and CS to improve long-term outcomes.PMID:38373539 | DOI:10.1016/j.jjcc.2024.02.005 (Source: Journal of Cardiology)

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA hallmark of heart failure (HF), whether it presents itself during rest or periods of physical exertion, is the excessive elevation of intracardiac filling pressures at rest or with exercise. Many mechanisms contribute to the elevated intracardiac filling pressures, and notably, the concept of volume redistribution has gained attention as a cause of the elevated intracardiac filling pressures in patients with HF, particularly HF with preserved ejection fraction, who often present without symptoms at rest, with shor...

Impact of postoperative hyperlactatemia in Orthotopic heart transplantation
CONCLUSIONS: Severe hyperlactatemia following orthotopic heart transplant was associated with an increased risk of post-transplant VA ECMO initiation and mortality at 30 days.PMID:38354768 | DOI:10.1016/j.jjcc.2024.02.001 (Source: Journal of Cardiology)

Innervation of the coronary arteries and its role in controlling microvascular resistance
J Cardiol. 2024 Feb 10:S0914-5087(24)00010-8. doi: 10.1016/j.jjcc.2024.01.005. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe coronary circulation plays a crucial role in balancing myocardial perfusion and oxygen demand to prevent myocardial ischemia. Extravascular compressive forces, coronary perfusion pressure, and microvascular resistance are involved to regulate coronary blood flow throughout the cardiac cycle. Autoregulation of the coronary blood flow through dynamic adjustment of microvascular resistance is maintained by complex interactions among mechanical, endothelial, metabolic, neural, and hormonal mechanisms. This review fo...

Comparison of the treatment status of patients with acute heart failure before and during the COVID-19 pandemic - Observational cohort study using Japanese administrative data
CONCLUSIONS: The implementation rate of NPPV decreased significantly in eligible patients, with a decreasing trend observed in patient populations in COVID-19 receiving facilities and emergency declaration response areas. Tracheal intubation increased in all populations.PMID:38311113 | DOI:10.1016/j.jjcc.2024.01.004 (Source: Journal of Cardiology)

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement in Germany with need for a surgical bailout
CONCLUSIONS: Rates of TAVR with need for a surgical bailout and overall in-hospital mortality have declined noticeably over the years in Germany. However, the outcomes are still unfavorable after surgical bailout, as in-hospital mortality is continuously high. We present risk factors for surgical bailout to improve preparation of subsequent measures. It must be a major goal to further reduce the rate of surgical bailouts in the future.PMID:38307247 | DOI:10.1016/j.jjcc.2024.01.003 (Source: Journal of Cardiology)

Regulation of myocardial glucose metabolism by YAP/TAZ signaling
J Cardiol. 2024 Jan 23:S0914-5087(24)00008-X. doi: 10.1016/j.jjcc.2024.01.002. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe heart utilizes glucose and its metabolites as both energy sources and building blocks for cardiac growth and survival under both physiological and pathophysiological conditions. YAP/TAZ, transcriptional co-activators of the Hippo pathway, are key regulators of cell proliferation, survival, and metabolism in many cell types. Increasing lines of evidence suggest that the Hippo-YAP/TAZ signaling pathway is involved in the regulation of both physiological and pathophysiological processes in the heart. In particular,...
