Sex Differences in Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation Outcomes in Patients on Oral Anticoagulants: A Popular PAUSE TAVI SubAnalysis Open
Background Many patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) have an indication for oral anticoagulation (OAC). Our aim was to study sex differences in outcomes after TAVI, depending on the type and regimen of vitamin…

Impact of Mild and Moderate Aortic Stenosis in Acute Heart Failure: Insights From RELAX-AHF-2 Open
The presence of mild or moderate aortic stenosis reflects an increased risk profile in patients with acute heart failure, but it is not an independent predictor of poor clinical outcomes.

Less Symptom Improvement in Patients Undergoing TAVI With Concomitant COPD, Atrial Fibrillation and Heart Failure Open
Background Comorbidities like a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure (HF) can cause similar symptoms as aortic stenosis (AS). However, how they influence symptom improvement an…

Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction Phenotype Is Associated With Early Symptom Onset in Aortic Stenosis and Residual Symptoms After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation Open
Background Aortic stenosis can lead to cardiac adaptations and symptoms similar to heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. We hypothesized that a heart failure with preserved ejection fraction phenotype in aortic stenosis is associ…

Discordance between symptomatic response and changes in cardiac structure and function one year after transcatheter aortic valve implantation Open
Background Symptomatic improvement is one of the main goals of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis. We hypothesized that the degree of symptomatic response after TAVI is associ…

Post‐transplant inotrope score is associated with clinical outcomes after adult heart transplantation Open
Background Inotrope score has been proposed as a marker of clinical outcome after adult heart transplantation (HTx) but is rarely used in practice. Methods Inotrope score during the first 48 h after HTx was calculated in 81 patients as: do…

Immunomodulation Through Low-Dose Radiation for Severe COVID-19: Lessons From the Past and New Developments Open
Low-dose radiation therapy (LD-RT) has historically been a successful treatment for pneumonia and is clinically established as an immunomodulating therapy for inflammatory diseases. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has elicited renewed scient…
