Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the prevalence of depression and anxiety in elderly patients with aortic stenosis undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), revealing limited existing research on this topic.
- Before TAVR, a significant portion of patients exhibited anxiety and depression, with some showing improvement in anxiety as early as 6 weeks after the procedure, while depression also improved but at a different rate.
- Overall, TAVR was found to reduce levels of anxiety and depression in patients who had pathological scores at baseline, with no link identified between these mental health issues and long-term mortality.
It was the study objective to determine whether glycaemic control affects the extent of platelet inhibition by thienopyridines as assessed by vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein flow cytometry (VASP-FCT) in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) during acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Although the proportion of high on-treatment residual platelet reactivity is higher in DM, the contributions of glycaemic control and other factors associated with DM, such as excess body weight and inflammation, to this impaired platelet inhibition by thienopyridines have not yet been fully characterised. In this study, the extent of P2Y12 ADP receptor pathway inhibition was evaluated by the VASP-FCT.
