Echocardiographic Profiling Predicts Clinical Outcomes After Mitral Transcatheter Edge?to?Edge Repair

Journal of the American Heart Association

BackgroundPrior studies investigating the impact of residual mitral regurgitation (MR), tricuspid regurgitation (TR), and elevated predischarge transmitral mean pressure gradient (TMPG) on outcomes after mitral transcatheter edge‐to‐edge repair (TEER) have assessed each parameter in isolation. Overall, mean age was 76.7±10.6

Clinical management and therapeutic optimization of patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and low blood pressure. A clinical consensus statement of the Heart Failure Association (HFA) of the ESC

European Journal of Heart Failure

Although low BP can be seen in those hospitalized with signs of shock, the most common scenario involves non-severe, asymptomatic hypotension in patients receiving foundational therapy for HFrEF, where premature down-titration or discontinuation of GDMT should be avoided. Low blood pressure with major or mild symptoms.

A completely healthy 30-something year old woman with no cardiac risk factors had sudden onset of bilateral trapezius pain that radiated around to her throat. R Risk factors = 0 5. Risk of 30-day adverse events is less than 1.7%. The ECG told the story. The first troponin was below the level of detection (LoD).
