Diastolic vibration of the anterior leaflet of the mitral valve as a result of aortic regurgitation (Austin Flint).

Contemporary Incidence and Procedural Volume of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Reintervention https://t.co/k1zjNW6EcB?

Procedural factors determine transcatheter aortic valve performance. The CODE framework integrates key parameters to systematically optimize TAVR outcomes. https://t.co/tShLeOxMMM @JACCJournals @DomAngellotti

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement With Balloon- Versus Self-Expandable Bioprostheses for the Treatment of Bicuspid Aortic Valve Stenosis https://t.co/AUmVbPOXJP

Non-coaxial transcatheter aortic valve deployment relative to the native annulus is associated with impaired valve early safety and increased risk of bioprosthetic valve failure 1 year after TAVR. https://t.co/zIezMCahf8

In the SCOPE I trial, patients with frailty had a similar improvement in patient-reported health status measures after TAVR, but a higher risk of unfavorable outcomes throughout 3 years of follow-up. https://t.co/5IJPKuRwmk

CIDRZ and the University of Bern are teaming up to fight #RheumaticHeartDisease (RHD) in Lusaka! A study targeting children aged 5–16 in 12 schools will assess the effectiveness of a school-based programme in preventing RHD in high-prevalence areas.

In the Bern TAVI registry, hemodynamic valve deterioration occurred in up to 1 in 4 patients throughout 10 years post-TAVI and was associated with a 5-fold increased risk of aortic valve reintervention. #JACCINT https://t.co/tAMLczNnEW @BashirAlaour @FabienPraz @StefanStortecky

Aortic Stenosis and Coronary Artery Disease: Decision-Making Between Surgical and Transcatheter Management https://t.co/jCMmqa18mq @DaijiroTomii

Echo screening of TB patients facilitates early detection of CV involvement. Routine echo at baseline in all newly diagnosed TB patients may allow for timely medical management and prevent complications such as constriction and heart failure. @JACCJournals https://t.co/Eafx6yW8kd

TAVI in patients with bicuspid aortic stenosis: navigating anatomical challenges and tackling a cocktail of risks https://t.co/PwyLZdBnNQ @AMaznyczka

Fibrotic versus calcific aortic stenosis in patients undergoing TAVR. https://t.co/kHgw65A4Sb @AMaznyczka @DomAngellotti @DaijiroTomii @chrisgraeni @DaryoushSamim @pbaekke @StefanStortecky

Timing of intervention in patients with aortic stenosis. https://t.co/yjG65CfbZ4

The inflammatory pathway offers a potential therapeutic target in patients undergoing TAVR: in the Co-STAR trial treatment with colchicine was associated with a lower risk of cardiac arrhythmias and subclinical leaflet thrombosis at 30 days. #TCT2024

When it comes to transfemoral access for TAVR it is all about diameter, calcification and tortuosity. In the Bern TAVI registry, the Hostile score proved useful in predicting non-puncture site vascular complications after TAVR. https://t.co/6H39j8XyEq

Prolongation of the QT interval is a manifestation of delayed cardiac repolarization. In the SUMMIT study, QTc became gradually longer along the climb from base camp to the summit of Mount Everest, and 1 in 4 climbers developed acquired long QT syndrome. https://t.co/wew3r96vMH

Asymmetrical expansion of balloon-expandable THVs, manifesting as stent frame deformation, is an occasional fluoroscopic finding in TAVR and has been associated with impaired hemodynamic valve performance in a registry of 1216 patients. https://t.co/qrBW1SmUMz

VARC-3 periprocedural myocardial injury was associated with a 2-fold increased risk of CV death at 1 year after TAVR. The favorable association of RAS inhibitor prescription was consistent in patients with and without periprocedural myocardial injury. https://t.co/ZGIJx4TFEt

Patterns of cardiac damage secondary to aortic stenosis differ by sex. Female sex was an independent predictor of lower mortality in early stages, but not in advanced stages of upstream cardiac damage. https://t.co/BFFwfNC1n9 @masaaki0825 @DaijiroTomii @FabienPraz @AMaznyczka
