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

Feasibility and safety of transradial balloon aortic valvuloplasty in patients with severe aortic stenosis
AbstractBalloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) was developed as a technique to treat aortic stenosis (AS) and is associated with significant improvements in aortic valve area and trans-aortic valve gradient in the early and immediate periods after the procedure. BAV is commonly performed using a trans-femoral retrograde approach; however, trans-femoral access is associated with frequent access-site bleeding. Among 146 patients with symptomatic severe AS who were treated with BAV in our institution, 123 patients received BAV treatment via a trans-radial approach using a 7-Fr Glidesheath. The balloon size was 16 –20 mm for al...

The role of TAVR in patients with heart failure: do we have the responses to all questions?
AbstractSevere aortic stenosis (AS) is the most prevalent valvular heart disease in developed countries. Heart failure (HF) is a frequent comorbidity of this condition and represents a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. The spectrum of both conditions has become progressively wider in the last decade; HF has been divided in three groups according to left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and severe AS has been reclassified into four groups according to aortic valve (AV) gradient, AV flow measured by LV stroke index, and LVEF. Although all four AS types may be found in patients with signs and symptoms of HF, low-flow ...

More for less - Long-Term Survival Modelling for Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement follow-up. The division between a ministernotomy and a full sternotomy approach
CONCLUSIONS: MIAVR through ministernotomy provides at least as good long-term survival as FSAVR. Nevertheless, it should be recommended for diabetic, poor mobility patients with pre-existing AF in order to reduce their high cerebrovascular risk and to limit the progression of HF. MIAVR also needs to be considered in patients with chronic lung diseases to improve their extremely poor survival prognosis.PMID:35188218 | DOI:10.33963/KP.a2022.0056

Severe low-gradient aortic stenosis: impact of inadequate left ventricular responses to high afterload on diagnosis and therapeutic decision-making
AbstractThe fact that nearly 50% of patients with an aortic valve (AV) area < 1.0 cm2, consistent with severe aortic stenosis (AS), can have mean trans-AV pressure gradients < 40 mmHg, consistent with non-severe AS, indicates that “low-gradient” (LG) severe AS, which is often associated with poor prognosis, deserves particular consideration. Inadequate left ventricular (LV) adaptation to severe AV stenosis resulting from preexistent intrinsic myocardial damages an d/or maladaptive LV responses to increased afterload are typical features of severe LG-AS. The diagnosis and management of patients with s...

Low serum albumin: A neglected predictor in patients with cardiovascular disease
Eur J Intern Med. 2022 May 7:S0953-6205(22)00181-9. doi: 10.1016/j.ejim.2022.05.004. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAlbumin, the most abundant circulating protein in blood, is an essential protein which binds and transports various drugs and substances, maintains the oncotic pressure of blood and influences the physiological function of the circulatory system. Albumin also has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antithrombotic properties. Evidence supports albumin's role as a strong predictor of cardiovascular (CV) risk in several patient groups. Its protective role extends to those with coronary artery disease, heart failu...
