Mashup Score: 1
Objective To estimate the population prevalence and treatable burden of severe aortic stenosis (AS) in the UK. Methods We adapted a contemporary model of the population profile of symptomatic and asymptomatic severe AS in Europe and North America to estimate the number of people aged ≥55 years in the UK who might benefit from surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) or transcatheter aortic valve…

Mashup Score: 6Echocardiographic diagnosis of right-to-left shunt using transoesophageal and transthoracic echocardiography - 2 year(s) ago
Background The diagnosis and quantification of right-to-left shunt (RLS) using transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) as well as transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) have not been well established. We aimed to diagnose RLS by TOE using direct visualisation of the shunt and to compare the diagnosis with TTE diagnosis using conventional methods. Methods and results We evaluated 141 patients with…

Mashup Score: 0Trade-off of major bleeding versus myocardial infarction on mortality after percutaneous coronary intervention - 2 year(s) ago
Background The choice of antithrombotic therapy after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is heavily dependent on the relative trade-off between major bleeding (MB) and myocardial infarction (MI). However, the mortality trade-off was mostly described in Western populations and remained unknown in East Asians. Method This was a retrospective cohort study from 14 hospitals under the Hospital…

Mashup Score: 0Colchicine for symptomatic coronary artery disease after percutaneous coronary intervention - 2 year(s) ago
Background Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), the preferred coronary reperfusion strategy, induces endothelial trauma which may mount an inflammatory response. This has been shown to increase the likelihood of further major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). Colchicine, a cheap and widely used anti-inflammatory has shown promise in improving cardiovascular outcomes. We aimed to perform…

Mashup Score: 5Transcatheter aortic valve replacement: when should we say no? - 2 year(s) ago
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) was born as a last resort for otherwise inoperable patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis (AS).1 Initially, the procedure was invasive, associated with serious complications and expensive, but if successful, offered patients with few treatment options the opportunity for improved survival and enhanced quality of life (QoL). Among elderly…
