🔥New Scientific Statement from #HFA & #HFAI: SGLT2 inhibitors for the prevention & treatment of #HeartFailure
Key recommendations across the HF spectrum: 📍At risk for HF: ⬇️HF events in patients with #T2DM & #CKD, initiate #SGLT2i 📍Post-AMI: ⬇️HFh alone, consider in high-risk patients 📍Symptomatic chronic HF: ⬇️HFh & #CVdeath across LVEF, start early 📍Acute/worsening HF: early benefit on HF events & mild decongestion, initiate inpatient & have 💊 on board before discharge 📍Specific populations (#ATTRCM, #ACHD): observational data suggest safety & potential benefit

@alexsfelixecho Considering the clinical picture, I would suspect infective endocarditis (IE) first. The aortic regurgitant jet may have caused endothelial injury in septum, predisposing to bacterial adhesion/ endocarditis. Nice images, thanks for sharing.
@alex1708ander@ASE360@iamritu@NMerke One clip is attached only to the anterior leaflet (SLD). Is there a clip attached to IAS?! Almost crossing the transeptal puncture site…
Care involving a #heartfailure specialist during an admission for HF ➡️ increased rates of #GDMT, decreased diuretics, lower in-hospital and long-term mortality, especially in #HFrEF, although across all #LVEF. https://t.co/kPxLXZvrTy

@NMerke Excellent! However, if you don’t have 3DTTE, would you rely only on LVEF/SV estimated by 2D echo (Simpson)? I think it adds a degree of imprecision…
