  • COBRRA: Bleeding Risk Lower With Apixaban Than Rivaroxaban in VTE at 3 Months
    The risk of clinically relevant bleeding was significantly lower with apixaban compared with rivaroxaban among patients with acute venous thromboembolism (VTE) during a three-month treatment period, according to results of the COBRRA trial published March 11 in NEJM.
  • Is Epicardial Adipose Tissue Volume an Indicator of CAD?
    A recent study published in JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging found that high epicardial adipose tissue volume (EATv) is independently associated with the presence and progression of coronary artery disease (CAD), highlighting its value as a potential risk stratification marker for major cardiovascular events (MACE) and a therapeutic target for earlier or more intensive intervention.
  • DOBERMANN: Are Tocilizumab, Dobutamine Effective in Reducing CS Risk in Patients With AMI?
    Two brief reports in JACC on the DOBERMANN-T and DOBERMANN-D trials found that among patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) at increased risk of cardiogenic shock (CS), early interleukin 6 (IL 6) receptor inhibition with tocilizumab safely reduced systemic inflammation but showed inconclusive effects on NT proBNP. In contrast, early dobutamine infusion did not lower […]
  • CVD-COVID-UK/COVID-IMPACT Consortium: HF Outcomes Differ By Race, Ethnicity
    In an ethnically diverse nationwide registry of patients with heart failure (HF) receiving care in a universal health system, non-White patients, compared with White patients, were more likely to receive HF specialist care, be discharged on guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) and have a better prognosis...
  • Trilogy TAVI For Native Aortic Regurgitation: Insights From the ALIGN-AR Trial
    The ALIGN-AR (TAVR With JenaValve for Symptomatic Aortic Regurgitation in High Surgical Risk Patients) trial findings demonstrated that, among patients with symptomatic moderate-to-severe or severe native aortic regurgitation (AR) at high surgical risk, transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) using the Trilogy valve...
