Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the long-term outcomes for cancer patients with improved heart function who discontinue cardioprotective therapy (CPT) after experiencing cancer treatment-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD).
- Out of 134 patients analyzed, those who withdrew from CPT showed a significant decline in heart function (LVEF) compared to those who continued the therapy, especially in patients with initially low LVEF (<45%).
- Overall, withdrawing from CPT was associated with a higher rate of major clinical events, indicating that continuing therapy may be beneficial for patients with improved CTRCD.
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is an effective treatment option for patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis. Nonetheless, there is a paucity of data regarding the differences in the clinical outcomes of TAVR procedures between elderly and super-elderly patients. This study aimed to compare the clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients aged 65 to 79 years and ≥80 years who underwent TAVR for aortic stenosis.
