Prosthesis-patient mismatch (PPM) after SAVR is linked to significantly lower survival and higher CV event risk, regardless of valve type or measurement method. #AHAJournals Michel Pompeu Sá Ibrahim Sultan Pitt Cardiothoracic Surgery Department ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/JA…

How is it possible that a study on TAVR vs SAVR in low risk patients gets published in the NEJM with equivalence at one year? Who cares about one year in low risk patients? #falsenews NEJM Mass General Heart

Delighted to contribute to this review led by Zahra Raisi-Estabragh on imaging and other biomarkers for tracking biological aging of the cardiovascular system JACC Journals #JACCCVI jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.…

Be sure to read the section on the role of “big data” in understanding aging 😉

One of the most interesting slides I've seen from RELIEVE-HF #ACC24

Strikingly different results in subgroups by EF! Incredibly divergent responses for differing physiology

Prosthesis-patient mismatch is associated with poorer outcomes after #SAVR , including mortality, cardiac death, HF-related admission, and aortic valve reintervention

Look into figure 8. The PPM defined using EOA by individual echo measurement reflects dramatic difference of long term survival between no PPM and any PPM. That’s how PPM should be defined, not the EOA from valve company or predicted EOA published in literature

‼️Patients with IE and formal indication for surgical intervention who underwent surgery are associated with a lower risk of short- and long-term mortality when compared with conservative treatment.
