Mitral valve transcatheter edge‐to‐edge repair in the elderly—A safe and effective therapy
Mitral valve transcatheter edge‐to‐edge repair in elderly patients is safe and offers comparable mitral valve regurgitation reduction and symptom relief to younger patients. At 3 years, increased all‐cause mortality is observed in elderly patients with advanced heart failure and elevated EuroSCORE II.

Abstract Aims Large‐scale, real‐world data on early initiation of sacubitril/valsartan in patients newly diagnosed (de novo) with HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) are limited. We examined the effectiveness of sacubitril/valsartan versus angiotensin‐converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi)/angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) on all‐cause and cause ...

Abstract Aims Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is guideline recommended for the treatment of symptomatic heart failure (HF) with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction and prolonged QRS. However, patients with common comorbidities, such as persistent/permanent atrial fibrillation (AF), are often under‐represented in clinical trials.

Abstract Aims The interstitial space is the major compartment in which the excess fluid is located, forming peripheral congestion in acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). The lymphatic system is responsible for the constant drainage of the compartment.

Abstract Aims Guideline‐directed medical therapy (GDMT) is recommended for all patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Despite this, little data exist describing GDMT use in diverse, real‐world populations including the use of vasodilators, prescribed primarily to Black populations.
