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.

A Multimodal Deep Learning Model for Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy Response Prediction [PDF]
We present a novel multimodal deep learning framework for cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) response prediction from 2D echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) data. The proposed method first uses the `nnU-Net' segmentation model to extract segmentations of the heart over the full cardiac cycle from the two modalities.

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 ...

Cardiac magnetic resonance in cardiac resynchronization therapy: How useful it can be? [PDF]
Patients with heart failure, reduced ejection fraction, and signs of myocardial dyssynchrony have a poor prognosis. Cardiac resynchronization therapy is a proven therapeutic modality that reduces symptoms of heart failure as well as morbidity and ...

Predicting Cancer Treatments Induced Cardiotoxicity of Breast Cancer Patients [PDF]
Cardiotoxicity induced by the breast cancer treatments (i.e., chemotherapy, targeted therapy and radiation therapy) is a significant problem for breast cancer patients. The cardiotoxicity risk for breast cancer patients receiving different treatments remains unclear.

Here, we discuss the case of a man with a history of ischemic cardiomyopathy and cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator implantation, who presented to emergency department with decompensated heart failure due to the loss of resynchronization ...

Outcomes of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy in Patients with Hypothyroidism and Heart Failure
Background Hypothyroidism is known to be associated with adverse clinical outcomes in heart failure. The association between hypothyroidism and cardiac resynchronization therapy outcomes in patients with severe heart failure is not clear.

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.

Uncertainty-Aware Training for Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy Response Prediction [PDF]
Evaluation of predictive deep learning (DL) models beyond conventional performance metrics has become increasingly important for applications in sensitive environments like healthcare. Such models might have the capability to encode and analyse large sets of data but they often lack comprehensive interpretability methods, preventing clinical trust in ...

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.
