Transfemoral Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TF‐TAVI) for Patients With Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) and Aortic Regurgitation

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aortic regurgitation (AR) develops in up to 25%−30% of patients with left ventricular assist device (LVAD). Treatment remains challenging since surgery confers significant peri‐operative risk and the lack of valvular calcification renders transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TF‐TAVI) with non‐dedicated devices technically ...

Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium Guideline for NAT2 Genotype and Hydralazine Therapy

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Hydralazine is a vasodilator typically used in the treatment of resistant hypertension and heart failure. N‐acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) catalyzes the metabolism of hydralazine into inactive metabolites. NAT2 poor metabolizers (historically referred to as “slow acetylators”) are predicted to have increased plasma hydralazine concentrations compared with ...
