Background—A plethora of echo parameters has been suggested for distinguishing cardiac amyloidosis (CA) from other causes of myocardial thickening with, however, scarce data on their head-to-head c…
Cindy St. Hilaire: Hi, and welcome to Discover CircRes, the podcast of The American Heart Association’s Journal. Circulation Research. I’m your host, Cindy St. Hilaire…
The correlation between surgical volume and patient outcomes has been extensively studied. 1, 2 Research spanning decades has shown that hospitals and surgeons with higher…
BACKGROUND: Transcatheter heart valve (THV) underexpansion after transcatheter aortic valve replacement may be associated with worse outcomes. THV expansion can be assessed fluoroscopically using a…
BACKGROUND: Earlier identification of high coronary artery disease (CAD) risk individuals may enable more effective prevention strategies. However, existing 10-year risk frameworks are ineffective at…
BACKGROUND: Changes in the phenotype and genotype in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) are thought to involve the myocardium as well as extracardiac tissues. Here, we describe…
BACKGROUND: Transcatheter heart valve (THV) underexpansion after transcatheter aortic valve replacement may be associated with worse outcomes. THV expansion can be assessed fluoroscopically using a…
BACKGROUND: Intravascular imaging (IVI) is widely recognized to improve outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, IVI is underutilized and is not yet established as…
BACKGROUND: Despite fractional flow reserve (FFR)–guided deferral of revascularization, recurrent events in patients with diabetes or after myocardial infarction remain common. This study aimed to…
BACKGROUND: Declining cardiovascular mortality rates have been well-documented, yet temporal trends of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in young individuals remain unclear. We provide contemporary nationwide…
BACKGROUND: Type A aortic dissection (TAAD) is a life-threatening condition characterized by complex pathophysiology, in which macrophages play a critical but not yet fully understood…
