Unveiling outcomes in coexisting severe aortic stenosis and transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis
ConclusionIn moderate ‐risk patients with severe AS undergoing TAVR, there was a 13% prevalence of ATTR‐CA, which did not affect mortality. The observed increase in heart failure hospitalization following TAVR in those with ATTR‐CA suggests the consequences of the underlying infiltrative myopathy.

Hypothyroidism as a Predictor of Surgical Outcomes in the Elderly
Conclusions It is recommended to post-pone elective surgery in elderly patients with hypothyroidism until an euthyroid state is achieved. If patients need urgent or emergent surgery, it is recommended to proceed with surgery only if they have mild or moderate hypothyroidism. Replacement therapy should be started preoperatively and there should be growing attention to the possible occurrence of minor post-operative complications in hypothyroid patients. As suggested by the American Thyroid Association (ATA), the treatment in elderly patients should be initiated at low doses with slow titration based on serum TSH evaluation...
