Cristina Capdevila Aguilera, Emili Vela Vallespín, Montse Clèries Escayola, Sergi Yun Viladomat, Coral Fernández Solana, Laia Alcober Morte, David Monterde Prat, Encarna Hidalgo Quirós, Esther Calero Molina, Núria José Bazán, Pedro Moliner Borja, Jordi Piera Jiménez, Marta Ruiz Muñoz, Xavier Corbella Virós, Santiago Jiménez Marrero, Alberto Garay Melero, Raúl Ramos Polo, Lidia Alcoberro Torres, Alexandra Pons Riverola, Cristina Enjuanes Grau, Josep Comín Colet

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Low socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with poor outcomes in patients with heart failure (HF). We aimed to examine the influence of SES on health outcomes after a quality of care improvement intervention for the management of HF integrating hospital and primary care resources in a health care area of 209 255 inhabitants. METHODS: We conducted a population-based pragmatic evaluation of the implementation of an integrated HF program by conducting a natural experiment using health care data...

Early glomerular filtration rate decline is associated with hemoglobin rise following dapagliflozin initiation in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.

Gema Miñana, Rafael De La Espriella, Patricia Palau, Martina Amiguet, Julia Seller, José Manuel García Pinilla, Eduardo Núñez, José Luis Górriz, Alfonso Valle, Juan Sanchis, Antoni Bayés Genís, Julio Núñez

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) induce short-term changes in renal function and hemoglobin. Their pathophysiology is incompletely understood. We aimed to evaluate the relationship between 1- and 3-month estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and hemoglobin changes following initiation of dapagliflozin in patients with stable heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). METHODS: This is a post hoc analysis of a randomized clinical trial that evaluated the effect of dapagliflozin on 1- and 3-month peak oxygen consumption in outpatients with stable HFrEF (DAPA-VO2 trial, NCT04197635)...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Data on the clinical profile and outcomes of younger patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is scarce. This study compared clinical characteristics and outcomes between patients aged < 45 years and those aged ≥ 45 years with STEMI managed by the acute myocardial infarction code (AMI Code) network. Sex-based differences in the younger cohort were also analyzed. METHODS: This multicenter study collected individual data from the Catalonian AMI Code network...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) disorder is the most common congenital heart disease. The aim of this study was to describe the characteristics of 0- to 18-year olds with BAV in a population-based registry. METHODS: Data from all pediatric patients were obtained from the Spanish registry for pediatric patients with bicuspid aortic valve (REVAB) (< 18 years). For data analysis, patients with BAV were divided into 2 groups by their features: isolated BAV and BAV with associated congenital heart disease...

4D flow magnetic resonance imaging to assess right ventricular outflow tract in patients undergoing transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement.

Clément Karsenty, Yousef Alattar, Elie Mousseaux, Gabrielle Marcilhacy, Umit Gencer, Damian Craiem, Laurence Iserin, Magalie Ladouceur, Antoine Legendre, Mikael Laredo, Damien Bonnet, Sophie Malekzadeh Milani, Gilles Soulat

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) including 4D flow is used before percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation (PPVI). As PPVI is limited by the size of the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT), accurate sizing is needed to plan the intervention. The aim of this study was to compare different MRI modalities and invasive angiography to balloon sizing of RVOT. METHODS: Single-center prospective study of patients who underwent PPVI for isolated pulmonary regurgitation assessed by 4D flow MRI, 3D steady-state free precession/gradient echo (3D SSFP/GRE) and contrast magnetic resonance angiography...

Introduction and objectives There is scarce real-world evidence on the management of perioperative antithrombotic treatment according to current recommendations. The aim of this study was to analyze the management of antithrombotic treatment in patients undergoing surgery or another invasive intervention and to assess the consequences of this management on the occurrence thrombotic or bleeding events. Methods This prospective, observational, multicenter and multispecialty study analyzed patients receiving antithrombotic therapy who underwent surgery or another invasive intervention...

Optimisation of treatments for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction in routine practice: a position statement from a panel of experts.

Nicolas Girerd, Christophe Leclercq, Olivier Hanon, Antoni Bayés-Genís, James L Januzzi, Thibaut Damy, Benoit Lequeux, Christophe Meune, Pierre Sabouret, François Roubille

Major international practice guidelines recommend the use of a combination of 4 medication classes in the treatment of patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) but do not specify how these treatments should be introduced and up-titrated. Consequently, many patients with HFrEF do not receive an optimized treatment regimen. This review proposes a pragmatic algorithm for treatment optimization designed to be easily applied in routine practice. The first goal is to ensure that all 4 recommended medication classes are initiated as early as possible to establish effective therapy, even at a low dose...

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic has revealed several cardiovascular complications, including myocarditis caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection (COVID-19) or after messenger RNA vaccine administration. Because of the high prevalence of COVID-19, the expansion of vaccination programs, and the appearance of new information on myocarditis in these contexts, there is a need to condense the knowledge acquired since the start of the pandemic. To meet this need, this document was drafted by the Myocarditis Working Group of the Heart Failure Association of the Spanish Society of Cardiology, with the collaboration of the Spanish Agency for Medicines and Health Products (AEMPS)...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: No comparisons have yet been published of the newest iteration of balloon- and self-expandable transcatheter heart valves for the treatment of bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) stenosis. METHODS: Multicenter registry of consecutive patients with severe BAV stenosis treated with balloon-expandable transcatheter heart valves (Myval and Sapien-3 Ultra, S3U) or self-expanding Evolut Pro+ (EP+). TriMatch analysis was carried out to minimize the impact of baseline differences...

REVIEW

Machine learning for decision-making in cardiology: a narrative review to aid navigating the new landscape.

John W Pickering

Machine learning in cardiology is becoming more commonplace in the medical literature; however, machine learning models have yet to result in a widespread change in practice. This is partly due to the language used to describe machine, which is derived from computer science and may be unfamiliar to readers of clinical journals. In this narrative review, we provide some guidance on how to read machine learning journals and additional guidance for investigators considering instigating a study using machine learning...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Significant tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Clinical evaluation of TR patients is challenging. Our aim was to establish a new clinical classification specific for patients with TR, the 4A classification, and evaluate its prognostic performance. METHODS: We included patients with isolated TR that was at least severe and without previous episodes of heart failure (HF) who were assessed in the heart valve clinic...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: There is scarce information on patients with single ventricle physiology (SVP) and restricted pulmonary flow not undergoing Fontan circulation. This study aimed to compare survival and cardiovascular events in these patients according to the type of palliation. METHODS: SVP patient data were obtained from the databases of the adult congenital heart disease units of 7 centers.
