Acute decompensated valvular disease encompasses a group of complex and challenging conditions, which are often the primary reason for admission to the cardiac intensive care unit and can also complicate the management of other primary cardiac disorders. Critically ill patients with valvular disease also present unique diagnostic and management challenges. Historically, medical and percutaneous interventional therapies have been limited and surgery was the only definitive treatment; however, surgical risk can at times be prohibitive.

This study conducted a retrospective analysis using latent growth mixture models to identify heterogeneous trajectories within a clinical population, subsequently developing machine learning models to predict clinical outcomes based on baseline characteristics and symptom measures. The study analyzed approximately 15,000 clients aged 18-89 in a real-world clinical setting, treated for up to 180-days between 2015 and 2020.

- * Mixed CS has become the second most common type of shock in coronary intensive care units, yet there's a lack of high-quality research to inform standard care practices and classifications.
- * The text proposes a new framework for classifying mixed CS and highlights the need for invasive hemodynamic measures to improve the understanding and management of this condition in clinical settings.
Dual training in Interventional Cardiology (IC) with other cardiac subspecialties such as Advanced Heart Failure and Transplant Cardiology (AHFTC) and Critical Care Cardiology (CCC) is becoming a pathway for trainees to acquire a needed skill set to deliver comprehensive care for increasingly complex patients in the intensive care unit and catheterization laboratory settings. The makeup of these training pathways varies depending on several factors, with the resultant role of the specialist reflecting this reality. Herein, we review the merits to combined fellowship training for the Interventional Cardiologist, the ideal structure of programs to facilitate this, and how the faculty position for such a unique specialist can enhance a program.
