Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) leaflet modification (LM) before transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a “promising” adjunctive technique to promote transcatheter heart valves (THV) expansion and circularity, a new computer modelled proof-of-concept study has found. 

The treatment effect of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) remained neutral across the full spectrum of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) rates in the ECLS-SHOCK trial, a new reanalysis of the trial data suggests. 

Automated abdominal aortic calcification scoring from routine bone density scans is independently linked to future atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease events, according to researchers. 

An artificial intelligence (AI)-based model, which learned to interpret routine 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs), identifies clinically significant coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients referred for invasive coronary angiography, according to a new study. 

Cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI) ablation with a linear pulsed field ablation (PFA) catheter has similar safety and efficacy to radiofrequency (RF) ablation in the treatment of persistent atrial fibrillation (AF), and has a better efficiency profile, a substudy of the ADVANTAGE AF trial shows. 

Right ventricular (RV)-pulmonary arterial (PA) coupling independently predicts death from all causes in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), a new post-hoc study shows. 

A Canadian meta-analysis shows that equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) initiatives in health care may be associated with greater workforce diversity and promote equity in the health care culture. 

Adding intravascular lithotripsy to conventional lesion preparation before stent implantation reduced the combined incidence of procedural failure or target vessel failure at 1 year in patients with severely calcified coronary lesions, according to results from the BALI trial. 

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is linked with more frequent progression of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) following mitral valve transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) in the OCEAN registry, as well as reduced TR improvement post-procedurally.
