Article Synopsis
- Aortic stenosis (AS) and mitral regurgitation (MR) lead to different changes in the heart's structure, and this study aimed to assess how these conditions affect left ventricular wall stress (LVWS) and cardiac remodeling.
- The study involved 47 patients with severe AS receiving transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and 15 patients with severe MR treated with MitraClip (MC), utilizing tests like a 6-minute walk test (6MWT) and cardiac imaging to evaluate changes in LVWS before and after procedures.
- Results showed significant decreases in systolic LVWS after TAVR and diastolic LVWS after MC, with a notable correlation indicating that higher LVWS

To quantify proportions of loss to follow-up in patients presenting with a pregnancy of unknown location and explore patients' perspectives on follow-up for pregnancy of unknown location. A pregnancy of unknown location is a scenario in which a patient has a positive pregnancy test but the pregnancy is not visualized on transvaginal ultrasound. We conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients with pregnancy of unknown location who presented to an urban academic emergency department or complex family planning outpatient office.

Prior research indicated that only half of college student health centers provide appropriate abortion referrals. Our objective was to better understand the referral experience and barriers to abortion referral at college student health centers.

Clinical risk stratification scores are utilised to estimate SCD risk and determine potential utility of a primary prevention implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD).
Methods: Patients with a confirmed diagnosis of HCM from a quaternary HCM service were defined according to clinical characteristics, genetic profiles and cardiac imaging results.
