#JournalWatch #StructuralHeart
📌 RV-PA coupling ratio (TAPSE/PASP)
👥 444 patients with TR undergoing TTVR in the TriValve registry
👉 TAPSE/PASP ratio >0.406 and (surprisingly!) a decrease in ratio after TTVR associated with lower all-cause mortality

#JournalWatch #CHD
📌 New RACHS-2 stratification system!
👉 ICD-10 based → cheap and easy
👉 Prediction of operative mortality with C-statistic of 0.76 in training and 0.84 in validation (similar to STAT Mortality Categories

#JournalWatch #AF
📌 NOAC Bleeding Prediction (NBP) Calculator → new risk score to predict bleeding risk in AF patients being prescribed NOACs
👉 model AUC = 0.66 on internal validation, 0.61-0.62 on external validation; compared to 0.58 for HAS-BLED and 0.57 for CHA2DS2-VASc

#JournalWatch #CardiovascularRisk
📌 “Don’t Worry, Be Happy”
👥 1561 men from the NAS prospective cohort
👉 neuroticism and worry were associated with higher cardiometabolic risk (CMR)

#JournalWatch #CKD #CardiovascularRisk
👥 176 participants (stage 4-5 CKD, not on dialysis, >65yo) in EQUAL study
👉 cTnT at any time point (HR 3.3), the slope (HR 3.2), and the AUC of its trajectory (HR 4.2) were all associated with mortality

#JournalWatch #ACS
👥 6,544 patients with NSTEMI in KAMIR-NIH
👉 27.9% had symptom-to-door time >24h, which was associated w higher 3-year all-cause mortality, recurrent MI, and HFH
👉 elderly, women, atypical chest pain or dyspnea, DM, and no EMS use were associated with delay

#JournalWatch #CHD
👥 158 adults with SRV; 21 met combined endpoint (HT referral, VAD, or death) after 8.5 years
👉 AUCs for RVEDVi, RVESVi, RVEF, RV mass were 0.93, 0.90, 0.73, 0.84 for D-TGA and 0.76, 0.74, 0.71, 0.74 for ccTGA
👉 RVEDVi of 132 and 126 mL/m² for D-TGA and ccTGA

#JournalWatch #CHD
📌 PREVENTION-ACHD risk score model
👥 model developed based on risk factors identified in PREVENTION-ACHD registry and data regarding baseline hazard from CONCOR registry

#JournalWatch #Cardiology
📌 Network Meta-Analysis of 4 pivotal RCTs of DOACs vs warfarin in AF
👉 Standard-dose DOACs: ⬇️ stroke/embolism, death, intracranial bleeding; ❌ major bleeding
👉 Low-dose DOACs: ⬇️ death, intracranial bleeding, major bleeding; ❌ stroke/embolism

#JournalWatch #CHD
📌 Liver maximum function capacity test (LiMAx®) → new “breath test” in which 13C-methacetin is cleaved by hepatic cytochrome P450 1A2 to paracetamol and 13CO2 (which is measured in exhaled air)
👥 39 adult Fontan patients (median age 29.4 years)

#JournalWatch #CHD
👥 105 pt w RVOT dysfunction undergoing PPVI (median age 19.2 yrs)
👉 PPVI associated w ⬇️ RA size and improved RA emptying
👉 However, RA emptying not predictive of recovery of pVO2 or RVEF!

#JournalWatch #CHD
👥 cross-sectional and longitudinal cohorts of pediatric and adult PAH-CHD
👉 endostatin associated w shorter 6MWT, increased RAP, higher PAP and PVRi, RV dilation and dysfunction, worse Tx-free survival
👉 improved risk stratification when added to NT-proBNP

#JournalWatch #CHD
👥 registry of 623 ASD closure patients, 56.8% with PH >20mmHg (largest study to date)
👉 PH independently associated with HR 2.45 (95% CI 1.38-4.37) of developing MACCE at mean FU of 7.7 years, mostly driven by increased HF, stroke, and CV mortality
