Introduction: Conductive disturbances requiring permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation remain a major concern after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).
Aims: To assess the impact of aortic valve calcium score (AVCS) on conductive disturbances requiring PPM after TAVI.
Methods: All patients who underwent TAVI with accessible AVCS from the preprocedural CT scan report were included in this retrospective single-centre study.
Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the use of a machine learning model using initial transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) to predict in-hospital major adverse events (MAEs) in patients admitted to intensive cardiac care units (ICCU).
- A total of 1,499 patients were evaluated, and the model showed significant accuracy, highlighting five key TTE parameters that contributed to its predictions.
- The machine learning model outperformed traditional scoring methods, indicating it could serve as a better tool for risk stratification in heart patients.
Article Synopsis
- * Despite advancements in understanding and treating aortic stenosis, there are still significant gaps in knowledge about its causes, severity assessment, and treatment strategies.
- * The review, from the Heart Valve Council of the French Society of Cardiology, highlights these gaps and suggests areas for future research to enhance patient outcomes.
