4.7 THE EFFECT OF TRANSCATHETER AORTIC VALVE IMPLANTATION ON AORTIC STIFFNESS AND HEMODYNAMICS
Purpose/Background/Objectives: Aortic stiffness and central hemodynamics are established vascular biomarkers. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a promising new technique for the treatment of aortic valve stenosis in elderly patients.

The effects of sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors on the ‘forgotten’ right ventricle
Abstract With the progress in diagnosis, treatment and imaging techniques, there is a growing recognition that impaired right ventricular (RV) function profoundly affects the prognosis of patients with heart failure (HF), irrespective of their left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).

Interventional therapies for chronic heart failure: An overview of recent developments
Abstract Heart failure (HF), the final manifestation of most cardiovascular diseases, has become a major global health concern, affecting millions of individuals. Despite basic drug treatments, patients present with high morbidity and mortality rates. However, recent advancements in interventional therapy have shown promising results in improving the ...

Aortic-femoral stiffness gradient and cardiovascular risk in older adults [PDF]
Background: the aortic-femoral arterial stiffness gradient, calculated as the ratio of lower-limb pulse-wave velocity (PWV) to central (aortic) PWV, is a promising tool for assessing cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, but whether it predicts incident CVD

Abstract Aims SPARCL1 was recently identified as a biomarker of right ventricular (RV) maladaptation in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH), and N‐terminal pro‐brain natriuretic protein (NT‐proBNP) is an established biomarker of RV failure in PH. The present study investigated whether NT‐proBNP and SPARCL1 concentrations are associated with load ...

Aortic Stiffness in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
In the paper by Boonyasirinant et al. ([1][1]) in a recent issue of the Journal , there are serious problems in the use of pulse wave velocity (PWV) data as an index of aortic stiffness in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).
