Tricuspid transcatheter edge-to-edge repair in patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation improved quality of life and reduced disease severity compared with medical therapy

In patients with complex coronary lesions, percutaneous coronary intervention guided by intravascular imaging improved cardiovascular outcomes compared with percutaneous coronary intervention guided by angiography.

Immediate complete revascularization is as safe and effective as staged complete revascularization in patients with acute coronary syndrome and multivessel disease, according to findings from the BIOVASC trial.

In the Evolut Low Risk study, transcatheter aortic valve implantation in low-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis compared favourably with surgical aortic valve replacement in terms of all-cause mortality or disabling stroke at 3 years.

According to findings from the PULSED AF trial, pulsed field ablation for atrial fibrillation is associated with a very low incidence of serious procedure-related adverse events and has an effectiveness consistent with that of established thermal ablation methods.

Iron is essential to the production of myocardial energy and proteins critical for cardiovascular function. Nearly 50% of patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) meet current criteria for iron deficiency, and there has been considerable interest in intravenous repletion of iron stores as a therapeutic strategy to improve HFrEF outcomes. However, the data on intravenous iron therapy in HFrEF have been mixed.
