Internal pacing using a CIED is safe and feasible without differences of procedural time and technical success and might reduce bleeding rates. Furthermore, pacing using a CIED circumvents the risk of lead dislocation. bit.ly/3JLdnQR #JACCINT #epICD #TAVR #vhdAS

Myocardial assessment by CTA in patients with severe AS using CT-ECV and CT-GLS is feasible and is independently associated with 1-year outcomes after #TAVR, even in those with preserved #LVEF. bit.ly/4doq4Ps #JACCIMG #vhdAS #cvImaging

In an elderly population w/ #vhdAS, one-half of pts had changes in cardiac stage early after #TAVR. The extent of extra-aortic valve cardiac damage before & after TAVR & changes in cardiac stage early after TAVR have important prognostic implications during long-term follow-up.…

Both transfemoral #TAVR and #SAVR have durable #QoL benefits out to 5 years. However, TAVR patients have a more rapid QoL improvement than SAVR patients. bit.ly/3UxA8hB #JACCINT #vhdAS @SuzanneJBaron

In aortic stenosis, #echofirst LV mechanical dispersion (MD) provides prognostic value over global longitudinal strain (GLS). MD≥68ms and GLS≥-15% represent a high-risk #cvVHD subgroup. bit.ly/3Im1XSX #JACCIMG #vhdAS @MarechauxSyl

The goal of the DEDICATE-DZHK6 trial was to evaluate transcatheter aortic valve implantation compared w/ #SAVR among patients w/ severe aortic stenosis & low to intermediate surgical risk. Get the clinical trial details here: bit.ly/4cGmHTo #ACC24 #vhdAS
