Relationship Between QT Interval and Outcome in Low-Flow Low-Gradient Aortic Stenosis With Low Left Ventricular Eȷection Fraction Valvular Heart Disease
ConclusionsIn patients with LF‐LG AS and reduced LVEF, longer QTc interval was associated with worse LV function and increased risk of death. Assessment of QTc may provide a simple and inexpensive tool to enhance risk stratification in LF‐LG AS patients.Clinical Trial RegistrationURL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT 01835028.

Atrial Fibrillation Patients Treated With Long-Term Warfarin Anticoagulation Have Higher Rates of All Dementia Types Compared With Patients Receiving Long-Term Warfarin for Other Indications Cardiovascular Surgery
BackgroundThe mechanisms behind the association of atrial fibrillation (AF) and dementia are unknown. We previously found a significantly increased risk of dementia in AF patients taking warfarin with a low percentage of time in therapeutic range. The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which AF itself increases dementia risk, in addition to long‐term anticoagulation exposure.Methods and ResultsA total of 10 537 patients anticoagulated with warfarin (target INR 2–3), managed by the Clinical Pharmacist Anticoagulation Service with no history of dementia were included. Warfarin indication was for AF (n=...

The Association Between Preoperative Hemoglobin A1C and Postoperative Glycemic Variability on 30-Day Major Adverse Outcomes Following Isolated Cardiac Valvular Surgery.
CONCLUSIONS: This study did not show an association between preoperative HbA1c and postoperative glycemic variability with MAEs after isolated cardiac valvular surgery. Specifically, lack of association between postoperative glycemic variability and MAEs is noteworthy and is in contrast to our previous finding in CABG patients. Future studies should focus a targeted glycemic variability reduction in CABG patients and evaluate the reduction in MAEs, without risk of employing a one-size fits all approach when approaching other cardiac procedures.

Intra-hospital correlations among 30-day mortality rates in 18 different clinical and surgical settings
Conclusions</div>The variability in 30-day mortality rates at hospital level and the correlation between risk mortality rates suggest that there may be common hospital-wide factors influencing short-term mortality.</span>

Thrombotic valvular dysfunction with transcatheter mitral interventions for postsurgical failures
ConclusionThrombotic related dysfunction post‐TMVR occurred in 15% (2/13) of patients and one patient had abnormal leaflet thickening that may have been thrombus related. Dual‐antiplatelet therapy was used in all 3 cases suggesting the possible need for oral anticoagulation postmitral valve‐in‐valve therapy. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Clinical outcome in nonagenarians undergoing transcatheter valve replacement
Conclusion Our case series demonstrate that even with elevated comorbidity index, clinical endpoints and valve-associated results are relatively favorable in nonagenarians treated with TAVR.

Cardiac Rehabilitation After Heart Valve Surgery: IMPROVEMENT IN EXERCISE CAPACITY AND MORBIDITY
CONCLUSIONS: CR after heart valve surgery improved exercise capacity and was associated with reduced morbidity. Elderly and ethnic minorities were less likely to attend or complete CR and deserve special attention.

Impact of flow, gradient, and left ventricular function on outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve replacement
ConclusionsIn patients undergoing TAVR, low flow was an independent predictor of 1‐year mortality and HF, and a stronger predictor than either low AVG or LVEF. Patients with low flow and preserved EF had increased mortality and HF at 1‐year, while those with low flow and reduced EF had outcomes similar to patients with normal flow.
