Systemic blood pressure in severe aortic stenosis: Haemodynamic correlates and long ‐term prognostic impact
ConclusionsIn severe AS patients, lower MAP reflects lower systemic vascular resistance and valvulo-arterial impedance, which may help to preserve stroke volume and filling pressures despite reduced left ventricular performance, and lower MAP is a predictor of higher long-term post-AVR mortality.

Novel oral anticoagulant vs. warfarin in elderly atrial fibrillation patients with normal, mid ‐range, and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction
ConclusionsIn elderly AF patients ≥65 years, using NOAC was associated with lower IS/SE compared with warfarin in normal and mid‐range LVEF but not in reduced LVEF. Using NOACs was associated with lower death compared with warfarin in normal LVEF.

Long ‐term clinical and haemodynamic results after transcatheter annuloplasty for secondary mitral regurgitation
ConclusionsAmong high ‐risk patients undergoing transcatheter mitral valve annuloplasty for symptomatic secondary MR, mortality was ~50% at 4 years. In the surviving patients, reduced MR severity was associated with reduced NYHA functional class, reverse LV remodelling, and improved LV function.

Mitral valve pressure gradient after percutaneous mitral valve repair: every beat counts
Abstract A patient presented with symptoms of decompensated heart failure 2 months after percutaneous mitral valve (MV) repair. Echocardiography demonstrated impaired left ventricular function with elevated MV pressure gradients and pulmonary pressures during rapid atrial fibrillation. Heart rate control was achieved by implantation of a biventricular pacemaker with subsequent His‐bundle ablation because atrial fibrillation was refractory to medical treatment. During biventricular pacing at different rates (50–110 b.p.m.), heart rate correlated positively with both MV mean pressure gradient and global longitudinal st...

Right ventricular mechanical pattern in patients undergoing mitral valve surgery: a predictor of post ‐operative dysfunction?
ConclusionsMVR induces a significant shift in the RV mechanical pattern. Advanced indices of RV mechanics are associated with invasively measured parameters of RV contractility and may predict post ‐operative RVD.

Rest and exercise oxygen uptake and cardiac output changes 6  months after successful transcatheter mitral valve repair
ConclusionsThese data confirm pMVR-induced clinical improvement and reverse ventricular remodelling at a 6-month analysis and show, in spite of an increase in CO, an unchanged exercise performance, which is achieved through a ‘more physiological’ blood flow distribution and O2 extraction behaviour. Direct rest and exercise CO should be measured to assess pMVR efficacy.

Cystatin C in risk prediction after transcatheter aortic valve replacement: a retrospective analysis
ConclusionsThe CKDCys classification could better assess the risk than the CKDCr classification in patients undergoing TAVR. CKDCys stage 3b and stage 4  + 5 correlated with adverse outcomes.

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement in aortic stenosis and cardiac amyloidosis: a systematic review and meta ‐analysis
ConclusionsTAVR is an effective and safe procedure in CA-AS patients, with a substantial survival benefit as compared with medical therapy, and a safety profile comparable with patients with AS alone except for a trend towards higher risk of permanent pacemaker implantation.

Effect of β‐blocker on patients with moderate functional mitral regurgitation undergoing surgical aortic valve replacement
ConclusionsThe administration of BB after SAVR was not associated with lower risk of MACCE for patients of severe aortic valve disease complicated with moderate FMR, but was potentially beneficial for improving FMR.
