Volume expansion is one of the most common therapeutic procedures in intensive care units (ICUs). There is no doubt that in some cases (e.g. hemorrhage or severe diarrhea) care-givers can reasonably rely on clinical examination to identify patients who will benefit from fluid loading. However, in more complex—but not uncommon—situations (e.g. septic shock), both clinical examination and… View more

Degenerative calcific aortic stenosis (AS) is one of the most common valvular heart diseases, affecting >3% of those aged >65 years in the West.1 As a result of an aging population, the prevalence of AS is expected to increase. Severe AS causes chronic pressure overload of the left ventricle (LV), resulting in LV hypertrophy (LVH), diastolic dysfunction, an increase in the size of the left… View more

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has achieved widespread approval as a safe and efficient therapeutic strategy for medically refractory congestive heart failure (CHF). The standard indications for CRT include patients with advanced heart failure and evidence of systolic dysfunction (ejection fraction [EF] ≤35%), conduction tissue disease (QRS duration ≥120ms), and marked cardiac symptoms … View more

In this short interview, Dr Duk-Woo Park (Asan Medical Center, KR) discusses the findings from the ADAPT-TAVR Randomized Clinical Trial (NCT03284827). The trial investigated Edoxaban versus dual antiplatelet therapy for leaflet thrombosis and cerebral thromboembolism after TAVR. Presented first at ACC.22, ADAPT-TAVR shows that the overall incidence of leaflet thrombosis on CT scans was less… View more

Abstract Heart failure with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (HF-PEF), sometimes named diastolic heart failure, is a common condition most frequently seen in the elderly and is associated with arterial hypertension and left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy. Symptoms are attributed to a stiff left ventricle with compensatory elevation of filling pressure and reduced ability to increase… View more
