Coronary Flow in Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy—Immediate Effects of Alcohol Septal Ablation

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is associated with alterations in coronary microvascular function which have variable pathophysiologic mechanisms, and variable reversibility acutely and chronically following alcohol septal ablation (ASA).

Diastolic function assessment by echocardiography : A practical manual for clinical use and future applications

open access: yes, 2020
Diastole is an important component of the cardiac cycle, during which time optimum filling of the ventricle determines physiological stroke volume ejected in the succeeding systole.

Coronary Perforation During Excimer Laser Angioplasty in a Patient With Prior Thoracic Radiotherapy

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Management of heavily calcified coronary lesions remains challenging despite advances in plaque‐modifying technologies. Excimer laser coronary angioplasty (ELCA) is an effective adjunctive strategy with a low risk of no‐reflow. Case Summary A 75‐year‐old woman with non–ST‐segment elevation acute coronary syndrome and severe left ...

Interventional Mitral Valve Edge‐to‐Edge Repair in Patients Above 85 Years of Age

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Mitral valve transcatheter‐edge‐to‐edge repair (M‐TEER) is routinely performed in patients with severe mitral regurgitation (MR) at high operative risk, frequently including elderly patients. Patients ≥ 85 years, however, are frequently excluded in clinical studies.

Clinical Outcomes of the Allegra Transcatheter System in Bioprosthetic Aortic Valve Failure: A Multicentre Valve‐in‐Valve Registry

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction The prevalence of bioprosthetic aortic valve failure is increasing due to the broader use of bioprosthetic valves, both surgical and transcatheter, and an ageing population. Registry data indicate a higher risk of coronary obstruction and elevated gradients following valve‐in‐valve transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI ...

Use of Intracoronary Pressure Wire Assessment and Association With Outcomes: Insights From the British Cardiovascular Intervention Society National Database

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Despite recommendations in international guidelines, Intracoronary pressure wire assessment (PWA) utilization remains limited in clinical practice. This study aims to describe (i) trends of PWA during Percutaneous coronary interventional (PCI), (ii) factors that predict its application, and (iii) association with in‐hospital ...

Comparison Between the Acurate Neo and the Acurate Neo 2 Transcatheter Heart Valve System: Impact of Midframe Under‐Expansion

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) with the Acurate Neo has been linked to a significant incidence of paravalvular leakage (PVL), addressed by the Acurate Neo 2 incorporating an active sealing skirt. Recent findings suggest that midframe under‐expansion is associated with worse outcomes.

Physician-Related Factors Affecting Cardiac Rehabilitation Referral

open access: yesJournal of Tehran University Heart Center, 2011
Background: Despite the positive impact of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) on quality of life and mortality, the majority of people who could benefit from this program fail to participate in it. The lack of referral from the physician is a common reason that

Use of Three-Dimensional Speckle-Tracking Echocardiography for Quantitative Assessment of Global Left Ventricular Function: A Comparative Study to Three-Dimensional Echocardiography

open access: yes, 2014
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to determine whether global strains derived from three-dimensional (3D) speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE) are as accurate as left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (LVEF) obtained by two-dimensional (2D) and ...
