Aims: Radiation therapy (RT) is an integral component of cancer therapy but associated with adverse events. Our goal was to establish risk prediction models for major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) after chest RT.
Methods And Results: A retrospective study of lung/breast cancer patients who had chest RT with planning CT at Mayo Clinic between 01/2010 and 01/2014.
Article Synopsis
- Secondary mitral regurgitation (MR) worsens in 10-15% of heart failure patients receiving cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), and transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) with Mitra-Clip shows promise in improving outcomes for those who are CRT non-responders.
- A meta-analysis of 439 patients indicated that Mitra-Clip significantly reduced MR severity and improved symptoms in a majority of CRT non-responders within six months and one year post-procedure.
- The mortality rates for patients after undergoing TEER with Mitra-Clip were similar to those observed in previous studies, with 30-day, 6-month, 1-year, and 2-year mortality rates at
Objective: To systematically review contemporary prediction models for hospital mortality developed or validated in general medical patients.
Methods: We screened articles in five databases, from January 1, 2010, through April 7, 2022, and the bibliography of articles selected for final inclusion. We assessed the quality for risk of bias and applicability using the Prediction Model Risk of Bias Assessment Tool (PROBAST) and extracted data using the Critical Appraisal and Data Extraction for Systematic Reviews of Prediction Modelling Studies (CHARMS) checklist.
Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a well-known complication following a transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and is associated with higher morbidity and mortality.
Objective: We aim to compare the risk of developing AKI after transfemoral (TF), transapical (TA), and transaortic (TAo) approaches following TAVR.
Methods: We searched Medline and EMBASE databases from January 2009 to January 2021.
Purpose Of Review: To evaluate remote monitoring using implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) or cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) devices as an adjunctive tool to the traditional care of patients with heart failure (HF).
Recent Findings: We included 11 trials encompassing 5965 patients. Absolute risk difference (ARD) with 95% credible interval (CrI) was estimated.
Patients with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) need long-term antiplatelet therapy to decrease the risk of future ASCVD events. We searched PubMed, Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials.gov (inception through September 2021) for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating P2Y inhibitors vs aspirin for secondary prevention of ASCVD events.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of AF ablation in patients with RA.
Methods: All patients with RA undergoing AF ablation at our institution from 2010 to 2021 were propensity matched to patients without RA using 9 baseline characteristics.
