Article Synopsis
- The interventional cardiology curriculum is a structured training program focused on advanced interventional procedures.
- It outlines the necessary requirements for candidates, trainers, and training centers, including learning objectives and required skills.
- Based on the European Core Curriculum, the program is adapted to meet Austria's healthcare needs and aims to deliver high-quality patient care.
Introduction: High-molecular-weight (HMW) von Willebrand factor (VWF) multimer deficiency occurs in classical low-flow, low-gradient (LF/LG) aortic stenosis (AS) due to shear force-induced proteolysis. The prognostic value of HMW VWF multimer deficiency is unknown. Therefore, we sought to evaluate the impact of HMW VWF multimer deficiency on clinical outcome.

Thus, we systematically investigated the association of an array of echocardiographic and epidemiological parameters with the change in cardiac output depending on the stimulation mode (AV-synchronous or AV-asynchronous pacing).
Methods: Patients in sinus rhythm after previous dual chamber pacemaker implantation underwent a thorough basic echocardiographic assessment of diastolic and systolic left ventricular function, and atrial function (26 echo parameters, including novel speckle tracking strain measurements).
Unlabelled: Both relevant aortic valve stenosis (AS) and aortic valve insufficiency significantly contribute to structural changes in the ascending aorta (AA) and thus to its dilatation. In patients with severe AS undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), survival data regarding aortic changes and laboratory biomarker analyses are scarce.
Methods: A total of 179 patients with severe AS and an available computed tomography were included in this retrospective study.
