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
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.

In this week’s View, Dr. Eagle looks at a scientific statement from the American Heart Association on the diagnosis and management of cardiac sarcoidosis. He then examines the temporal trends and clinical implications of ischemic stroke in women with atrial fibrillation. Finally, Dr. Eagle shares some thoughts on transcatheter aortic valve implantation in patients with high-risk symptomatic native aortic regurgitation (ALIGN-AR).

Eagle’s Eye View: infective Endocarditis After Invasive Dental Procedures, Serious Bleeding in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation Using Diltiazem with Apixaban or Rivaroxaban, Low-Dose Colchicine for Secondary Prevention in Atherosclerosis
In this week’s View, Dr. Eagle looks at a systematic review and meta-analysis of antibiotic prophylaxis and infective endocarditis incidence following invasive dental procedures. He then examines the issue of serious bleeding in patients with atrial fibrillation using diltiazem with apixaban or rivaroxaban. Finally, Dr. Eagle shares some thoughts on low-dose colchicine for secondary prevention in atherosclerosis.
