Feasibility of Sentinel Cerebral Embolic Protection Device Deployment During Transfemoral Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
Cerebral embolic protection has emerged as a preventive measure for procedural stroke in transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).1 The Sentinel System (Boston Scientific Corp. Boston, Massachusetts), a 2-filter debris-capturing system, has been the only commercially available protection device in the United States since its approval by the Food and Drug Administration in 2017. In the Sentinel trial, the largest randomized trial (n  = 363) so far, the device was successfully deployed in 94.7% of patients.

Anticoagulation and Antiplatelet Therapy for Prevention of Venous and Arterial Thrombotic Events in Critically Ill Patients with COVID-19: COVID-PACT
Conclusions: In critically-ill patients with COVID-19, full-dose anticoagulation, but not clopidogrel, reduced thrombotic complications with an increase in bleeding, driven primarily by transfusions in hemodynamically stable patients, and no apparent excess in mortality.PMID:36036760 | DOI:10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.122.061533

Long-Term Evolocumab in Patients with Established Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease
CONCLUSIONS: Long-term LDL-C lowering with evolocumab was associated with persistently low rates of adverse events for over >8 years that did not exceed those observed in the original placebo arm during the parent study and led to further reductions in cardiovascular events compared with delayed treatment initiation.PMID:36031810 | DOI:10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.122.061620

Hypersensitivity of Zebrafish htr2b Mutant Embryos to Sertraline Indicates a Role for Serotonin Signaling in Cardiac Development
Abstract: Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are antidepressants prescribed in 10% of pregnancies in the United States. Maternal use of SSRIs has been linked to an elevated rate of congenital heart defects, but the exact mechanism of pathogenesis is unknown. Previously, we have shown a decrease in cardiomyocyte proliferation, left ventricle size, and reduced cardiac expression of the serotonin receptor 5-HT2B in offspring of mice exposed to the SSRI sertraline during pregnancy, relative to offspring of untreated mice. These results suggest that disruption of serotonin signaling leads to heart defects. Supp...

Systematic review of efficacy of direct oral anticoagulants and vitamin K antagonists in left ventricular thrombus
ConclusionsCompared with VKAs, DOACs significantly reduce the risk of bleeding events and stroke in LVT patients, but mortality was similar in both groups. The advantages are apparent not only in patients belonging to the predominantly white residential areas such as North American and European regions but also in patients with LVT due to IHD. DOACs show promising effects in treating LVT compared with VKAs.

Influence of the Danish Co-morbidity Index Score on the Treatment and Outcomes of 2.5 Million Patients Admitted With Acute Myocardial Infarction in the United States
This study aimed to determine the association between the Danish Co-morbidity Index for Acute Myocardial Infarction (DANCAMI) and restricted DANCAMI (rDANCAMI) scores and clinical outcomes in patients hospitalized with AMI. Using the National Inpatient Sample, all AMI hospitalizations were stratified into four groups based on their DANCAMI and rDANCAMI score (0; 1 to 3; 4 to 5; ≥6). The primary outcome was all-cause mortality, whereas secondary outcomes were major adverse cardiovascular/cerebrovascular events, major bleeding, ischemic stroke, and receipt of coronary angiography or percutaneous coronary intervention.

Impact of Hospital Volume on Utilization and Outcomes of Sentinel Cerebral Protection System During Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation
Stroke remains a serious complication of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) with a significant impact on long-term morbidity and mortality. Although the etiology of strokes is multifactorial, most are a result of embolization of debris during the procedure.1 Multiple devices have emerged aiming to reduce the incidence of stroke through cerebral embolic protection. The Sentinel cerebral protection system (CPS) is the only Food and Drug Administration-approved device in the United States.
