The power of randomization in open blinded trials….it gets almost 30% of patients with AS who were asymptomatic for years to be symptomatic in less than 6 months after randomization !!!! This is EARLY TAVR. https://t.co/kPpL08zv6k
Highlights of The Evolving Concept of Secondary Mitral Regurgitation Phenotypes: Lessons From the M-TEER Trials, just published in JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging:
1. Secondary mitral regurgitation (SMR) is a heterogeneous disease entity presenting with different clinical phenotypes
2. Differentiation of SMR phenotypes (aSMR vs vSMR) and their subentities might facilitate our understanding of treatment response to medial and interventional SMR treatment
3. Further studies are needed to further improve our understanding of the disease and optimize treatment of SMR

Patients with evidence of microplastics and nanoplastics in carotid artery plaque, as compared with patients without, had a greater risk of adverse cardiovascular events at 34 months of follow-up. Read the full article: https://t.co/BUsdzHMcdb
My post-coronary angiography patient talk revisited after ORBITA and ORBITA-2: "Dear patient with chest pain and no pills, if I fix this artery you won't live one day longer, but you may have less angina, or you can take one or more pills and achieve more or less the same".
Every question answered for transcatheter mitral repair with COAPT Post Approval Study by @kashishgoelmd@JACCJournals? Check out the Editorial from @Cardio_LMU @LMU_Uniklinikum @j_hausleiter where we outline future directions for valvular #heartfailure https://t.co/NKSy5M0Tf9
@kashishgoelmd Congrats to the authors. @j_hausleiter @LMU_Uniklinikum @Cardio_LMU and I discuss the results and give future directions for the field of transcatheter mitral repair. What are open questions for #TEER? Or is everything clear now? https://t.co/NKSy5M0Tf9
The COAPT Post Approval Study is out in @JACCJournals today!
Real world data on 5000 SMR patients treated with MitraClip at 406 sites showed that it was safe and effective.

Prof Massberg @Cardio_LMU + I had the privilege to write Editorial on #TRILUMINATE pivotal trial by @psorajja. I guess we all hoped for reduction of 🏥 ( maybe ☠️), but remember: This is the #first#randomized trial ever for severe isolated #TR! T-TEER is safe and improves QoL
