Clinical Features and Outcome of Infective Endocarditis in a University Hospital in Romania
Conclusions: Staphylococcus aureus IE was associated with the presence of large vegetations, prosthetic valve endocarditis and intracardiac abscess. Coagulase negative Staphylococcus (CoNS) infection was associated with prosthetic valve dysfunction. Streptococcus gallolyticus etiology correlated with ischemic embolic stroke and the presence of large vegetations. Cardiovascular surgery was recommended in 67.4% of patients but was performed only on half of them. In hospital death occurred in 33.7% of patients and independent predictors of mortality were congestive heart failure and septic shock.PMID:33578787 | PMC:PMC7916483...

Two-year outcomes from the PARTNER 3 trial: where do we stand?
Purpose of review The PARTNER 3 trial was conducted to compare outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with a balloon-expandable valve and surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in individuals at low surgical risk with aortic stenosis. Recently reported rates of death, stoke and valve thrombosis in the TAVR arm have raised concerns about the longevity of this intervention in low-risk individuals. It is incumbent on all members of the Heart Team to understand the potential consequences of these findings. Recent findings TAVR was initially superior to SAVR at 1 year for a primary composite e...

Inadequately low left ventricular mass in patients with significant aortic stenosis predicts favourable prognostic outcomes
AbstractIn patients with significant aortic stenosis (AS), the prognostic effect of the increase in left ventricular mass (LVM) in relation to one ’s hemodynamic load has been described. Inappropriately high LVM has been shown to predict adverse cardiovascular events. However, little is known about the prognostic impact of inadequately low LVM (i-lowLVM) in patients with significant AS. I-lowLVM was defined as the measured LVM <  73% of the predicted LVM based on sex, stroke work and height from the reference adult population, used in previous established studies. For outcome analysis, the end-point was defined a...

Contemporary Diagnosis and Management of Rheumatic Heart Disease: Implications for Closing the Gap: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association.
Stroke Nursing; and Council on Clinical Cardiology Abstract The global burden of rheumatic heart disease continues to be significant although it is largely limited to poor and marginalized populations. In most endemic regions, affected patients present with heart failure. This statement will seek to examine the current state-of-the-art recommendations and to identify gaps in diagnosis and treatment globally that can inform strategies for reducing disease burden. Echocardiography screening based on World Heart Federation echocardiographic criteria holds promise to identify patients earlier, when prophylaxis is more...

Long ‐term risk of heart failure and mortality following mitral valve surgery in patients with and without right ventricular pacemaker
ConclusionsPostoperative implantation of a permanent RV pacemaker does not alter the long ‐term risks of HF and mortality following mitral valve surgery.

Aortic Valve Replacement in Young and Middle-Aged Adults: Current and Potential Roles of TAVR.
CONCLUSIONS: TAVR is increasingly used for adults <55 years. Given the uniformly excellent results with SAVR, including both mortality and morbidity - particularly regarding stroke, our data favor SAVR in this population, but a prospective trial is needed. Ongoing efforts to harmonize variables and outcomes definitions between the ACSD and CHSD are valuable. PMID: 32768428 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The Compensatory Reserve Index Responds to Acute Hemodynamic Changes in Patients with Congenital Heart Disease: A Proof of Concept Study
In this study, the CRI accurately reflected acute hemodynamic changes associated with TcPVR. Further re search is justified to determine if the CRI can be useful as an early warning tool in patients with CHD at risk for decompensation during and after cardiac procedures.

Registry of antithrombotic therapy in atrial fibrillation patients with bioprosthetic valves: A retrospective observational study.
CONCLUSIONS: In a current real-world setting in Japan, warfarin was the most commonly used treatment in AF patients with bioprosthetic valves, but there was an increasing trend of DOAC-treated patients. Further investigations are needed to confirm the efficacy and safety of DOAC in patients with bioprosthetic valves. PMID: 32156512 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Double-Valve Heart Disease and Glomerulonephritis Consequent to Abiotrophia defectiva Endocarditis.
We present the first case of A. defectiva infective endocarditis that led to antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated glomerulonephritis. The patient was a 55-year-old man whose endocarditis affected the mitral and aortic valves. His course was complicated by atrial fibrillation, stroke, and glomerulonephritis. He was successfully treated with antibiotics and dual valve replacement. PMID: 32148451 [PubMed - in process]
