- Editors' Corner | The Ongoing Challenge of Tricuspid RegurgitationThis month's cover story offers a practical, concise review of contemporary care for patients with tricuspid regurgitation (TR). It synthesizes key lessons from clinical trials that now guide decision-making for direct tricuspid valve interventions.
- Cover Story | Tricuspid Valve Intervention: Clinical Decision-Making For Patient SelectionFor decades, cardiologists have referred to the tricuspid valve as "the forgotten valve." One reason for this neglect is that tricuspid regurgitation (TR) often goes unnoticed, explains Robert O. Bonow, MD, MACC, Distinguished Professor at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago, IL.
- Feature | Navigating Valve DiseaseShared decision-making has become central to the management of valve disease, including tricuspid regurgitation (TR) (see cover story) and severe aortic stenosis (AS). If done correctly, it can help clinicians engage patients and families in meaningful discussions about symptoms, prognosis, treatment burden and personal goals...
- Feature | Cardiovascular Device Safety Can't End at ImplantationModern cardiovascular care is dependent on safe and effective implanted devices. In the U.S., the cardiovascular care team implants between one and two million new devices each year. The cumulative total of implanted devices in our patients cannot be accurately estimated but is easily in the tens of millions.
- Focus on Heart Failure | Beyond Steroidal MRAs: Rethinking MR Blockade in HFMineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) are foundational in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). In patients with preserved or mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFpEF/HFmrEF), however, the evidence has been inconsistent and does not build a compelling case for the use of steroidal MRAs in HFpEF/HFmrEF.
