    Excess Apolipoprotein-B and Cardiovascular Risk, Treating Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension, SGLT2i and CV Outcomes

    Excess Apolipoprotein-B and Cardiovascular Risk, Treating Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension, SGLT2i and CV Outcomes

    In this week’s View, Dr. Eagle looks at excess apolipoprotein-B and cardiovascular risk, then examines a recent meta-analysis on treating pulmonary arterial hypertension. Finally, Dr. Eagle shares some thoughts on a SMART-C collaborative meta-analysis of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors and major adverse cardiovascular outcomes.

    Anticoagulation in Post-Operative AFib, Non-ST-Elevation Acute Coronary Syndromes, Arrhythmia-Induced Cardiomyopathy

    In this week’s View, Dr. Eagle looks at anticoagulation for post-operative atrial fibrillation after isolated coronary artery bypass grafting. He then examines a meta-analysis of invasive vs. conservative management of non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndromes with previous coronary artery bypass grafting. Finally, Dr. Eagle shares some thoughts on JACC’s recent State of the Art Review of arrhythmia-induced cardiomyopathy.

    Aortic Valve Calcification and Aortic Stenosis, Microvascular Resistance Reserve After PCI, Microvascular Injury Patterns

    In this week’s View, Dr. Eagle looks at the diagnostic value of aortic valve calcification levels in the assessment of low-gradient aortic stenosis.  

     He then examines the prognostic value of microvascular resistance reserve after percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with myocardial infarction.  

     Finally, Dr. Eagle shares some thoughts on clinical outcomes associated with various microvascular injury patterns identified by cardiac MRI after STEMI.

    Transcatheter-Based Intervention and Tetralogy of Fallot, Small Left Ventricle and Atrial Fibrillation (Afib), Aspirin Free Treatment Post-PCI

    In this week’s View, Dr. Eagle looks at transcatheter-based intervention for tetraology of Fallot. He then examines how a small left ventricle in patients with atrial fibrillation is associated with increased cardiovascular risk. Finally, Dr. Eagle shares some thoughts on an aspirin-free strategy for immediate treatment following complex percutaneous coronary intervention.

    Guideline for the Management of Lower Extremity Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD), Decongestion Strategies for Heart Failure, Lipoproteins and Triglycerides in Cardiovascular Prevention

    Guideline for the Management of Lower Extremity Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD), Decongestion Strategies for Heart Failure, Lipoproteins and Triglycerides in Cardiovascular Prevention

    In this week’s View, Dr. Eagle looks at the recently released guidelines for lower extremity peripheral arterial disease (PAD). He then examines a national community-based cohort study on contemporary decongestion strategies in patients hospitalized for heart failure. Finally, Dr. Eagle shares some thoughts on the implications of discordance among ApoB, non–high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides for cardiovascular prevention.

    Eagle’s Eye View: The New AHA/ACC Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Guideline, Smoking Cessation, Embolic Stroke

    In this week’s View, Dr. Eagle looks at the new AHA/ACC Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Guideline, then examines a randomized clinical trial that studied smoking cessation after initial treatment failure with varenicline or nicotine. Finally, Dr. Eagle shares some thoughts on a clinical consensus statement of the ESC Council on Stroke, the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging, and the European Heart Rhythm Association of the ESC on embolic strokes of an undetermined source.
