Sleep‐disordered breathing in valvular heart disease: A Modifiable comorbidity

Sleep Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Sleep‐disordered breathing (SDB) is highly prevalent among patients with valvular heart disease (VHD) and is independently associated with adverse clinical outcomes. The two major phenotypes—obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and central sleep apnea (CSA)—exhibit distinct distributions across VHD subtypes. CSA predominates in severe aortic stenosis,

Early outcomes of aortic valve neocuspidization (the Ozaki procedure): Initial experience of a single centre

Indian Heart Journal
Introduction: Aortic valve neocuspidization (AVNeo) using fixed autologous pericardium, also known as the Ozaki technique, is an effective therapy for treating aortic valvulopathies.

PDA‐Engineered 3D‐Printed Polymer–ZrO2 Hybrid Scaffolds Enabling Enhanced Radiopacity, Photothermal Therapy, and Cell Migration Modulation

Small, EarlyView.
A multifunctional 3D‐printed polymer–ZrO2 scaffold is developed to provide intrinsic radiopacity, photothermal responsiveness, and surface bioactivity. Reinforcement with ZrO2 enables real‐time x‐ray visibility and mechanical robustness, while a polydopamine coating facilitates near‐infrared‐triggered drug release and modulates cell migration, thereby ...

Statins for aortic valve stenosis

São Paulo Medical Journal
BACKGROUND: Aortic valve stenosis is the most common type of valvular heart disease in the USA and Europe. Aortic valve stenosis is considered similar to atherosclerotic disease. Some studies have evaluated statins for aortic valve stenosis. OBJECTIVES:

Refining Residual Ischemic Stroke Risk in Anticoagulated Atrial Fibrillation Using Index Outpatient LA Diameter: The CHA2DS2‐VALa Score

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
In anticoagulated atrial fibrillation, residual ischemic stroke risk persists despite guideline‐directed therapy. In this single‐center cohort, an enlarged index outpatient left atrial diameter independently predicted stroke and improved risk stratification when added to CHA2DS2‐VA (CHA2DS2‐VALa), supporting a simple, clinically implementable ...

Low-Gradient, Low-Flow Severe Aortic Stenosis With Preserved Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction Characteristics, Outcome, and Implications for Surgery [PDF]

, 2015
BackgroundSevere low-gradient, low-flow (LG/LF) aortic stenosis with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) has been described as a more advanced form of aortic stenosis. However, the natural history and need for surgery in patients with LG/LF

Frailty and Five‐Year Mortality After TAVR in Patients Aged 75 Years and Older

Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, EarlyView.
In patients aged 75 years and older undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement, frailty assessed by the Clinical Frailty Scale was the most robust geriatric factor independently associated with five‐year mortality. This study highlights the specific prognostic value of frailty beyond short‐term outcomes.

Aortic Valve Calcium Score Spectrum Identifies Bimodal Outcomes for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation: Insights From the AMTRAC Registry

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background Degenerative calcification is the primary mechanism underlying severe aortic stenosis; however, some patients with hemodynamically severe aortic stenosis have low aortic valve calcium scores (AVCS), suggesting heterogeneous disease processes ...

Periodontal Medicine Rewired: Mechanisms Linking Periodontitis to Systemic Diseases

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
This review reorganizes decades of research in periodontal medicine into a multi‐dimensional framework, illustrating how periodontitis influences systemic health through at least seven interconnected mechanisms. ABSTRACT Periodontitis is now recognized not merely as a localized oral condition but as a systemic disease linked to over 70 communicable and
