Clinical outcomes associated with per ‐operative discontinuation of aspirin in patients with coronary artery disease: A systematic review and meta‐analysis
Conclusion: Our analysis suggests that planned short‐term discontinuation in the appropriate clinical setting appears to be safe in the correct clinical setting with no increased risk of thrombotic events and with a decreased risk of bleeding. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Clinical Correlates and Prognostic Value of Elevated Right Atrial Pressure in Patients With Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy.
CONCLUSIONS: Elevated RAP in patients with HCM is associated with left-sided heart failure and is an independent predictor of all-cause mortality and new-onset AF. PMID: 29526913 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Use of the ClearSight ® System for Continuous Noninvasive Hemodynamic Monitoring during Heart Valve Interventions: Review of the Literature and Single-Site Experience.
Use of the ClearSight® System for Continuous Noninvasive Hemodynamic Monitoring during Heart Valve Interventions: Review of the Literature and Single-Site Experience. Heart Surg Forum. 2018 Nov 14;21(6):E476-E483 Authors: Gellert G, Bramlage P Abstract During interventional and structural cardiology procedures, such as mitral valve (MitraClip, BMV), aortic valve (TAVR, BAV), tricuspid valve (MitraClip), left atrial appendage (Watchman, Lariat), atrial septum (ASD/PFO closure), and coronary artery intervention (high-risk PCI), among others, patients are at a high risk of hemodynamic instability and re...

Initiation of ivabradine in cardiogenic shock
ConclusionsIn our small non ‐randomized series of patients in cardiogenic shock, ivabradine was safely used to reduce HR in patients previously intolerant of beta‐blockade. There are limited data surrounding the use of ivabradine in cardiogenic shock, and future studies should be undertaken to determine the optimal HR in h umans with cardiogenic shock and whether systematic limitation of peak HR may improve outcomes.

Plasma proteoglycan prolargin in diagnosis and differentiation of pulmonary arterial hypertension
ConclusionsPlasma prolargin levels differentiate PAH patients from controls and the other investigated dyspnoea groups including HF. Its potential in PAH differentiation may be enhanced by inclusion in a multi ‐marker panel. Larger studies are needed to evaluate its discriminative ability of PAH in relation to other dyspnoea aetiologies and its potential role in PAH risk stratification and pathobiology.

Rural-urban disparities in baseline health factors and procedure outcomes
CONCLUSIONS: Our study identified rural-urban differences in baseline factors and procedural outcomes in patients presenting to a tertiary care center for cardiac procedures. Providers should anticipate that health disparities may be associated with more intervention and worse outcomes in their rural patients. Being aware of such differences may also help policy makers in directing health care funding to lower gaps in health care and access ultimately leading to better health outcomes.PMID:35109969 | DOI:10.1016/j.jnma.2022.01.001

Elevated plasma WIF ‐1 levels are associated with worse prognosis in heart failure with pulmonary hypertension
ConclusionsThe present study demonstrated that LHF-PH patients have higher plasma WIF-1 levels than healthy controls, suggesting that plasma WIF-1 may be a potential future prognostic biomarker in LHF-PH. Its prognostic capability could be further refined by including it in a multi-marker panel. Further studies are needed to establish the potential role of WIF-1 in LHF-PH pathophysiology in larger cohorts to determine its clinical applicability.

Influence of percutaneous mitral valve repair using the MitraClip® system on renal function in patients with severe mitral regurgitation
Conclusion: Successful PMVR was associated with an improvement in renal function. The improvement in renal function was associated with the extent of MR reduction and pre‐existing kidney dysfunction. Our data emphasize the relevance of PVMR to stabilize the cardiorenal axis in patients with severe mitral regurgitation. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Use of the Corus® CAD Gene Expression Test for Assessment of Obstructive Coronary Artery Disease Likelihood in Symptomatic Non-Diabetic Patients
Conclusions The Corus CAD test has been extensively evaluated since it was first derived, including with two prospective multi-center trials. Given the scope of the deleterious effects of CAD and the considerable costs involved in diagnosing obstructive CAD, a blood test that can help in this determination is certainly valuable. The Corus CAD test promises to have an important role in this regard particularly if it continues to perform this well in larger, more diverse cohorts.

Differential Hemodynamic Effects of Exercise and Volume Expansion in People With and Without Heart Failure Original Articles
Conclusions— Exercise elicits greater pulmonary capillary wedge pressure elevation compared with saline in HFpEF but not controls, suggesting that hemodynamic stresses beyond passive stiffness and increased venous return explain the development of pulmonary venous hypertension in HFpEF. Exercise testing is more sensitive than saline loading to detect hemodynamic derangements indicative of HFpEF. Clinical Trial Registration— URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT01418248.

Quantitative Analysis of Right Ventricular (RV) Function With Echocardiography in Chronic Heart Failure With No or Mild RV Dysfunction: Comparison With Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Conclusions— Echocardiographic RV performance parameters (tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion, systolic longitudinal velocity, tissue strain, and 2D strain) correlated with the MRI-calculated RVEF and overall predicted it. In particular, RV 2D strain and tissue strain were good markers for RV longitudinal motions. These echocardiographic parameters are easily obtained and may give important information about RV function for evaluation and prognostic stratification of patients with heart failure.
