Mashup Score: 46
The impact of sex on the baseline characteristics, morphology, and clinical presentation of degenerative aortic stenosis (AS) is well-documented but remains poorly understood. Unlike valve surgery, for which patients have been predominantly male, percutaneous treatment of AS has shown balanced representation of both sexes, with women demonstrating greater benefit from transfemoral aortic valve replacement compared to surgical treatment. This review explores sex-specific differences in the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnostic challenges, treatment approaches, and clinical outcomes of degenerative AS.

Mashup Score: 4
In recent years, various interventional therapies, e.g., edge-to-edge therapies, percutaneous annuloplasty, or orthotopic valve implantation, have emerged to treat symptomatic, inoperable patients with tricuspid regurgitation (TR), as recommended by the current European Society of Cardiology guideline.1 The occurrence of TR increases with age, reaching a prevalence of 4% in patients older than 75 years.2 To plan interventional therapy for these patients—such as percutaneous annuloplasty or orthotopic valve implantation—computed tomography (CT) is routinely used to characterize tricuspid valve anatomy and right heart morphology.

New insights from a small study using AI-powered CT analysis for tricuspid valve interventions found: ✅ Deep learning enables fast, accurate right heart assessment ✅Results are consistent regardless of user experience https://t.co/XtLX0Iqnkn #CardioEd #CardioResearch https://t.co/tWhEmMrHqK

Mashup Score: 10Coronary Cannulation Following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement With Self-Expanding Evolut FX+ System: The CANNULATE TAVR II Study - 1 month(s) ago
Coronary cannulation (CC) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is crucial as the indication expands to younger patients.1 The Evolut FX valve (Medtronic Inc, Minneapolis, Minnesota) allows fluoroscopic assessment of commissure alignment by the golden markers positioned at its inflow and commissural alignment has been associated with improvement in coronary access following valve implantation.2,3,4 The newer Evolut FX+ (Medtronic Inc, Minneapolis, Minnesota) has 3 apertures positioned 120 degrees apart designed to facilitate CC.

🆕 Findings from CANNULATE TAVR II: Faster right coronary cannulation with the Evolut FX+ vs. previous-gen Despite ~50% of coronaries not aligning with valve apertures, 100% success rate using standard technique https://t.co/XBjOKsuB6F #CardioEd #CardioResearch https://t.co/nw5XMrp8Cb

Mashup Score: 1
Patients with small annuli are at risk for worse hemodynamic performance after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). It is debatable whether a small annulus confers worse outcomes. This study explored the clinical outcomes following TAVR for patients with small and large annuli across flow-gradient subgroups of aortic stenosis (AS).

💡A single-center, retrospective analysis found that patients with small and large annuli have similar intermediate-term clinical outcomes post-TAVR across all flow-gradient patterns treated with balloon-expandable valve. https://t.co/MXf0fykGor #CardioResearch #CardioEd https://t.co/Hlf6UKpeVS

Mashup Score: 13Early Aortic Valve Replacement Versus Conservative Management: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials - 1 month(s) ago
Management of aortic stenosis (AS) typically involves surveillance until severe, symptomatic AS develops, at which point aortic valve replacement (AVR) is recommended. However, recent trials suggest that earlier transcatheter AVR or surgical AVR (TAVR or SAVR)—performed before patients reach symptomatic severe AS—may improve outcomes. We conducted a meta-analysis to synthesize data from recent randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing early AVR with conservative management.

🆕 meta-analysis: Early aortic valve replacement before severe symptomatic AS shows no significant benefit for most hard endpoints like mortality or MI but may reduce stroke. https://t.co/6bu2D8BnZJ @TayyabShahMD @AlexandraLansky @PopmaJeffrey https://t.co/4jixciySnA

Mashup Score: 1Prospective Evaluation of Neurocognition in Patients Following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement - 1 month(s) ago
Data regarding change in neurocognitive function after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) are conflicting. We sought to investigate the change in cognition up to 6 months post-TAVR in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI).

Mashup Score: 6Impact of Baseline Anteroposterior Mitral Annular Dimensions on Clinical Outcomes after MitraClip for Secondary Mitral Regurgitation - 1 month(s) ago
In the randomized Cardiovascular Outcomes Assessment of the MitraClip Percutaneous Therapy for Heart Failure Patients with Functional Mitral Regurgitation (COAPT; NCT01626079) trial, mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) improved clinical outcomes in patients with severe secondary mitral regurgitation (MR). A prior post hoc analysis from the COAPT trial showed that increasing anteroposterior mitral annular diameter (APMAD) was the sole independent echocardiographic predictor of the composite endpoint of death or heart failure hospitalizations (HFH) at 2 years.

📌 New COAPT analysis found APMAD predicted adverse outcomes with GDMT alone. M-TEER reduced MR severity & risk of death or HFH regardless of baseline APMAD. https://t.co/Wzme9vaQ19 @JasonHRogersMD @FedericoAsch @LindenfeldJoann @TheDoctorMack @GreggWStone @PopmaJeffrey https://t.co/xa5jqJOIhR
