Rationale, Design, and Baseline Characteristics of the BioProsthetic Valves with Atrial Fibrillation (BPV-AF) Study
ConclusionPatients enrolled into this study are typical of the wider Japanese AF/BPV population in terms of age and clinical history. Future data accruing from the observational period will contribute to future treatment recommendations and guide therapeutic decisions in patients with BPV and AF.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: UMIN000034485

Periprocedural Predictors of New-Onset Conduction Abnormalities After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement.
CONCLUSIONS: Computed tomography assessment of membranous septal anatomy and implantation depth predicted CAs after TAVR with new-generation valves. Future studies are required to identify whether adjustment of the implantation depth can reduce the risk of CAs and adverse clinical outcomes. PMID: 32879221 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

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...

Impact of atrial fibrillation on the outcomes of transcatheter mitral valve repair using MitraClip: a systematic review and meta-analysis
AbstractAtrial fibrillation (AF) is a common arrhythmia in patients with mitral regurgitation (MR) undergoing transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVR). In this systematic review, we aimed to investigate the outcomes of TMVR using MitraClip in AF patients. We performed a systematic search using PubMed, SCOPUS, EMBASE, and Google Scholar, from inception to May 10, 2020, for studies that reported outcomes following MitraClip, in patients with AF versus without AF. Seven studies with a total of 7678 patients met the inclusion criteria. The risk of 1-year all-cause mortality following TMVR was higher in AF patients (RR 1.40, 95...

Impact of Ventricular Stroke Work Indices on Mortality in Heart Failure Patients after Percutaneous Mitral Valve Repair
Transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVR) using the MitraClip system (Abbott Vascular, Abbott Park, Illinois) has emerged as an effective treatment option for surgical high-risk patients with severe functional mitral regurgitation (MR) and chronic heart failure (CHF)1-9. However, several predictors of worse prognosis in patients treated by TMVR have been identified, e.g. high levels of NT-proBNP, New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class IV prior to TMVR and a severely impaired left and right heart function5,8,10-13.

New frontiers for improving outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve implantation: the role of the conduction system and the impact of pacemakers
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is at least as safe and effective as surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis for the endpoints of all-cause mortality, stroke and heart failure hospitalizations across the spectrum of surgical risk1,2. Despite iterative advances in technology and refinements in procedural technique, conduction disturbances are not infrequent and occur more commonly after TAVI than after surgery. In the most recent low-risk randomized trials2,3 comparing TAVI to SAVR, the rates of permanent pacemaker implantation (PPI) were 6.6% with the ball...

Temporal Trends and Outcomes of Elective Thoracic Aortic Repair and Acute Aortic Syndromes in Bicuspid Aortic Valves: Insights from a National Database
ConclusionData from a national database showed no change in the number of hospitalizations for BAV-related aortopathy, with relatively lower incidence of AAS. Compared with TAV, elective aortic repair for BAV is associated with lower mortality, while BAV-related AAS is associated with higher in-hospital complications.

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.

The Global Impact of Rheumatic Heart Disease
AbstractPurpose of ReviewRheumatic heart disease (RHD) is a neglected disease of poverty, which presents challenges for patients, communities, and health systems. These effects are magnified in low resource countries, which bear the highest disease burden. When considering the impact of RHD, it is imperative that we widen our lens in order to better understand how RHD impacts the over 40 million people currently living with this preventable condition and their communities. We aimed to perform an updated literature review on the global impact of RHD, examining a broad range of aspects from disease burden to impact on health...

Benefit of early aortic valve surgery in asymptomatic, severe AS
Nature Reviews Cardiology, Published online: 24 November 2021; doi:10.1038/s41569-021-00656-8Early surgical aortic valve replacement in asymptomatic patients with severe aortic stenosis reduces the risk of all-cause death, acute myocardial infarction, stroke or unplanned hospitalization for heart failure compared with conservative care and surgical aortic valve replacement only after symptom onset, according to findings from the AVATAR trial.

The Prognostic Utility of Invasive Right Heart Catheterization in Patients Prior to Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
CONCLUSIONS: Preprocedural invasive RHC provides useful prognostic information. A comprehensive invasive hemodynamic assessment should be considered for risk stratification in patients undergoing TAVR.PMID:34866047
