Temporal left ventricular ejection fraction variations and outcomes in wide population of cardiovascular patients with and without heart failure

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

IntroductionHeart failure (HF) with improved ejection fraction (HFimpEF) was shown to be related with improved outcome but increase of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in patients without HF is of less known clinical significance. HFimpEF was defined by LVEF increase 10% in HF patients in relation to baseline value.

Predictors of permanent pacemaker requirement in aortic stenosis patients undergoing self-expanding valve transcatheter aortic valve replacement using the cusp overlap technique

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Patients were grouped by conventional (CON) and COL techniques, with outcomes monitored using Valve Academic Research Consortium (VARC)-2 criteria.ResultsIn this cohort study of 114 patients, 17 were excluded due to pre-existing pacemakers. Forty-seven received SEVs using COL, and 50 with CON techniques.
