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.

Leadless Pacemaker Implantation in High‐Risk Patients: Real‐World Outcomes From a Multicenter Israeli Registry

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Transvenous pacemakers are effective but carry significant short‐ and long‐term complications. Leadless pacemakers were developed to overcome these limitations, however, data in high‐risk patients ineligible for transvenous systems remain limited.

Doxorubicin‐induced Cardiotoxicity in Dogs: A Narrative Review

Veterinary and Comparative Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Doxorubicin, an anthracycline widely used in both human and veterinary oncology, is highly effective against a variety of malignancies in dogs, including lymphomas, sarcomas and carcinomas. Despite its efficacy, doxorubicin exposure can be associated with cardiotoxicity, which may present acutely or chronically, potentially leading to severe ...

Mitral valve repair with aortic valve replacement is superior to double valve replacement

, 2003
Objectives: Double valve replacement has been advocated for patients with combined aortic and mitral valve disease. This study investigated the alternative that, when feasible, mitral valve repair with aortic valve replacement is superior.

Dyssynchrony without dysfunction: Left bundle branch block does not acutely reduce cardiac output

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Six electromechanical in silico heart models were simulated under healthy and pure acute left bundle branch block (LBBB) conditions. LBBB induced electrical dyssynchrony and increased left ventricular free wall strain, while the right and left ventricular ejection fraction remained relatively unchanged.
