Cluster analysis of volatile organic compounds - a pilot study in patients with severe acute decompensated heart failure
CONCLUSION: Longer-term follow-up studies are needed to assess the stability and clinical significance of the identified clusters by IMS and their diagnostic and prognostic relevance.PMID:38621579 | DOI:10.1016/j.jjcc.2024.04.003 (Source: Journal of Cardiology)

Heart failure - An unexplored risk factor for infective endocarditis after pacemaker implantation
CONCLUSION: In PPM population, HF was associated with an increased risk of IE compared to those without HF. We hypothesize that HF being a low-flow and high-inflammatory state might have contributed to this increased risk. Larger studies are required to corroborate our findings and evaluate the need for antimicrobial prophylaxis for this population.PMID:38583663 | DOI:10.1016/j.jjcc.2024.04.002 (Source: Journal of Cardiology)

Transcatheter tricuspid valve interventions: Current devices and clinical evidence
J Cardiol. 2024 Apr 6:S0914-5087(24)00060-1. doi: 10.1016/j.jjcc.2024.04.001. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe tricuspid valve is known as "the forgotten valve". Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a highly prevalent valvular heart disease. TR is often late in the course of the disease when it becomes symptomatic, often being a marker of late-stage chronic heart failure with a poor prognosis and high mortality rate at long-term follow-up. Despite the clear correlation between TR and mortality, most TR patients are under-treated. Neither pharmacologic nor surgical treatment demonstrates a significant survival benefit. Isolated...

Unawareness of being prescribed medications for diabetes and incident cardiovascular disease
CONCLUSIONS: In patients with diabetes taking medications for diabetes, even if they are young and have good glycemic control, it is important that they receive adequate education from their healthcare providers to accurately identify their treatment status.PMID:38582492 | DOI:10.1016/j.jjcc.2024.03.011 (Source: Journal of Cardiology)
