Eligibility and Potential Benefit of Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair in a Contemporary Cohort With Heart Failure: Evidence From a Large Integrated Health Care Delivery System Open
There is a low prevalence of TEER eligibility based on FDA criteria primarily due to absence of moderate-severe or severe MR. FDA+ patients are a high acuity population and may potentially derive a robust clinical benefit from TEER based o…

Incidence, Predictors, and Outcomes Associated With Worsening Renal Function in Patients With Heart Failure and Secondary Mitral Regurgitation: The COAPT Trial Open
Background The incidence and implications of worsening renal function (WRF) after mitral valve transcatheter edge‐to‐edge repair (TEER) in patients with heart failure (HF) are unknown. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the …

Association of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus With Left Ventricular Structure and Function: The CARDIA Study Open
OBJECTIVE Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) predicts incident cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, mechanisms linking GDM to CVD beyond intervening incident diabetes are not well understood. We examined the relation of GDM with echocar…
