Prognostic implications of staging cardiac remodeling in patients undergoing cardiac resynchronization therapy
<p>Background<br></p><p>Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) candidates often present with significant mitral and tricuspid regurgitation, pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular dysfunction when referred for device ...
The Quantity of Epicardial Adipose Tissue in Patients Having Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation With and Without Heart Failure
<p>The distribution of epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) across the spectrum of heart failure (HF) has yet to be fully elucidated. The present study investigated the distribution of EAT in an HF spectrum and its association ...
Subclinical leaflet thrombosis after transcatheter aortic valve implantation: no association with left ventricular reverse remodeling at 1-year follow-up
<p>Hypo-attenuated leaflet thickening (HALT) of transcatheter aortic valves is detected on multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) and reflects leaflet thrombosis. Whether HALT affects left ventricular (LV) reverse ...
Impact of Worsening Heart Failure on Long-Term Prognosis in Patients With Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction
<p>Worsening heart failure (HF), defined as hospitalization for worsening signs and symptoms of HF or the need for urgent intravenous diuretics, is often considered a surrogate of poor prognosis in clinical trials. However, ...
Interaction between sex and left ventricular reverse remodeling and its association with outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve implantation
<p>Women with severe aortic stenosis (AS) have better long-term prognosis after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) compared to men. Whether this is caused by sex-related differences in left ventricular (LV) ...
Changes in Global Left Ventricular Myocardial Work Indices and Stunning Detection 3 Months After ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction
<p>Global left ventricular (LV) myocardial work (MW) indices (GLVMWI) are derived from speckle tracking echocardiographic strain data in combination with non-invasive blood pressure measurements. Changes in global work ...
Prevalence and Long-term Outcomes of Patients with Coronary Artery Ectasia Presenting with Acute Myocardial Infarction
<p>Coronary artery ectasia (CAE) is described in 5% of patients undergoing coronary angiography. Previous studies have shown controversial results regarding the prognostic impact of CAE. The prevalence and prognostic value ...
Prognostic Value of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in Patients With Severe Aortic Stenosis Who Underwent Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events. Although the association between NAFLD and aortic valve sclerosis has been described, the prevalence and prognostic ...
Prognostic Implications of Change in Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation
<p>Reduced left ventricular (LV) systolic function is associated with worse prognosis in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) treated with transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). We aimed to examine the changes ...
