Mashup Score: 6Trends in Cardiovascular Disease–Related Mortality in Texas - 1 month(s) ago
Abstract Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is associated with high mortality in the United States, but the burden of CVD mortality is unevenly distributed between demographic and geographic subgroups, with poor characterization of state-specific trends. In this study, the disparities in CVD-related mortality trends in Texas and the United States from 1999 to 2019 were assessed. Methods: Trends in CVD-related mortality were evaluated through analysis of the Multiple Causes of Death Files from the National Center for Health Statistics. Crude and age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMRs) per 100,000 population with associated annual percentage changes were determined. Joinpoint regression was used to assess trends in the CVD-related mortality rates. Results: Between 1999 and 2019, 29,455,193 CVD-related deaths were reported in the United States, of which 1,937,166 occurred in Texas. After an initial decline in the overall AAMR in Texas (annual percentage change, −2.5 [95% CI, −2.8 to −2

Mashup Score: 6A Comprehensive Review of Atrial Infarction - 1 month(s) ago
AbstractAtrial infarction is often undiagnosed in patients with underlying ischemic heart disease and is identified only later, upon autopsy. One of the main challenges in diagnosing the condition is its localization within the affected atria. Treatment of atrial infarction focuses on acute reperfusion therapy, long-term management of cardiovascular disease risk factors, consideration of antiarrhythmia medications, and anticoagulation therapy. This review covers the anatomy of the atrial vasculature, complications associated with atrial infarction, diagnostic criteria for use of electrocardiography and other imaging modalities, and overall prognosis and management.

Mashup Score: 5Effects of Bioprosthetic Valve Fracturing on Valve-in-Valve Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation Transvalvular Gradients - 1 month(s) ago
Abstract Background: Valve-in-valve (ViV) transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is quickly becoming a routine and effective means by which to treat degenerated bioprosthetic valves. A known complication of ViV-TAVI is patient-prosthesis mismatch, which substantially affects survival. Bioprosthetic valve fracture is a method by which to reduce the risk of patient-prosthesis mismatch and post–ViV-TAVI transvalvular gradients. This study sought to determine the safety and efficacy of post–ViV-TAVI bioprosthetic valve fracture. Methods: Patients with a history of surgical aortic valve replacement undergoing ViV-TAVI bioprosthetic valve fracture (N = 25) at the corresponding institution from 2015 to 2022 were cataloged for a retrospective analysis. The implanted transcatheter valves were Medtronic Evolut R, Evolut PRO, and Evolut PRO+. Gradients were assessed before and after implantation and after fracturing using transthoracic echocardiogram. Results: The mean left ventricular ej
