Objectives: To evaluate the impact of pharmaceutical care on the number of readmissions and visits to the emergency department due to heart failure 30 days after hospital discharge, based on a programme of continuous pharmaceutical care throughout the care process, and to assess the differences between the control and intervention groups at 90 days after discharge (number of readmissions and visits to the emergency department, time from discharge to new readmission or visit to the emergency department).
Methods: A single-centre experimental longitudinal prospective open and parallel-group study with balanced randomisation (1:1) was carried out in a tertiary hospital in Spain. Patients with a diagnosis of primary or decompensated heart failure admitted to the Cardiology Service or the Heart Failure and Vascular Risk Unit were recruited between March 2019 and November 2021 and randomly assigned, using a randomised block model, to the control (standard care) or intervention (continuing care model) groups.
Background: Incomplete treatment of congestion often leads to worsening heart failure (HF). The remote dielectric sensing (ReDS) system is an electromagnetic energy-based technology that accurately quantifies changes in lung fluid concentration noninvasively.
Objectives: This study sought to assess whether an ReDS-guided strategy during acutely decompensated HF hospitalization is superior to routine care for improving outcomes at 1 month postdischarge.
Aims: Severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) has adverse effects on outcomes, with limited therapeutic options. We report the outcomes of patients undergoing percutaneous annuloplasty as a treatment of ≥severe functional TR in a single centre.
Methods And Results: Prospective, single-arm, single-centre study that enrolled 24 consecutive patients with at least severe functional TR undergoing percutaneous annuloplasty with Cardioband system between 2019 and 2021.
Background: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic has led to a paradigm shift in healthcare worldwide. Little is known about the impact on the cardiovascular system, and the incidence and consequences of new onset of atrial fibrillation (AF) in infected patients remain unclear. The aim of this study was to analyze the cardiovascular outcomes of patients with newonset AF and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection.

Methods: An 85-year-old man with a severe and symptomatic aortic stenosis underwent elective TAVR, which complicated with embolization into the ascending aorta. While repositioning into the descending aorta, the procedure complicated with aortic rupture.
