In this analysis of >1,000 TAVI patients, we demonstrate that underexpansion of balloon-expandable transcatheter aortic valves, as assessed by fluoroscopy, is associated with an increased risk of hemodynamic valve deterioration at mid-term follow-up. https://t.co/8imr7NRBd2

🚨 UPDATE FROM THE SYRIAN BORDER WHERE I TRAVELED TO THIS WEEK 🚨 One of the most under reported atrocities happening in the world right now is the genocide of the Druze in Syria by Islamic jihadists. A lot of people missed this, but the State Department recently announced on

The extent of cardiac damage significantly affects 10-year survival of patients with moderate and severe aortic stenosis. Cardiac damage staging might be as important as aortic stenosis grading in defining the prognosis of patients with aortic stenosis. https://t.co/BMu2HmsuLI

Does excessive aortic cusp calcification change the risk–benefit balance between self-expanding and balloon-expandable TAVR? Our new study dives into peri-procedural and long-term outcomes. https://t.co/yxtn4yCici

📚 A new study demonstrates that the release of cMyC after brief ischemia is comparable to that of cardiac troponin I and T up to 3 hours post injury, despite differences in the molecular weight and the collocation within the cardiac sarcomere. Read more ⬇️

Recently, we demonstrated that as little as 30 seconds of induced myocardial ischemia in humans was enough to cause myocardial injury, assessed by an increase in cardiac troponin T (cTnT) and I...

Survival better with current medical+ device therapy than STICH-era MT (+/- CABG) if LVEF<35%! ➡️ are lessons from all RCTs with a OMT control arm time-limited? ➡️ is PCI better than CABG (or vice versa)? These two trials can’t answer this. Await STICH3 trials @BCIS4Trial
How should we interpret STICH in the @REVIVED_BCIS2 era? Did improving OMT between the trials move the goalposts? Can we compare CABG to PCI? The first IPD analysis of randomised data in ischaemic LVSD out today in @ehj_ed. https://t.co/j87W6xFvdL
