Acute Valve Syndrome in Aortic Stenosis
“These findings are extremely important and complementary to the recently presented EARLY TAVR Trial, published in the NEJM. The absence of symptoms was traditionally considered a sign of relative safety. However, this study shows how frequent acute valve syndrome is in patients undergoing AVR, and how patients would benefit greatly
Mortality Burden for Patients with Untreated Aortic Regurgitation
“This research underscores the poor outcomes for patients with moderate AR who exhibit cardiac damage, stressing the need to monitor for distinct characteristics in this population. These insights may also prompt a reassessment of our management strategies and suggest a shift in our approach to intensified follow-up for both moderate
Contemporary Practice Patterns and Outcomes for Patients With Mitral Regurgitation: Results From a Large Multicenter Real-World Database
“These findings underscore the urgency of early intervention for patients with MR. The implications of delayed treatment, particularly in moderate-to-severe MR, cannot be overstated, as it may lead to poor patient outcomes.” Rahul Sharma, MBBS, FRACPDirector of Structural Interventions, Stanford Healthcare, Associate Director of the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory and Clinical
The Mortality Burden of Untreated Aortic Stenosis
“This research is the first of its kind to look at such a large cohort of AS patients over a four-year span. Findings serve as a stark reminder of the poor prognosis associated with untreated AS irrespective of severity, suggesting patients with moderate AS may benefit from intervention.” Philippe Généreux,
Prognostic Impact of Cardiac Damage Across the Spectrum of Aortic Stenosis Severity: Results From a Large Real-World Database
“These results further underscore the poor prognosis associated with untreated aortic stenosis of any severity and provide meaningful insights for the management of this patient population.”Philippe Généreux, MD, FACC Director of the Structural Heart Program of Morristown’s Gagnon Cardiovascular Institute and lead author of the study.
