Article Synopsis
- * Despite advancements in understanding and treating aortic stenosis, there are still significant gaps in knowledge about its causes, severity assessment, and treatment strategies.
- * The review, from the Heart Valve Council of the French Society of Cardiology, highlights these gaps and suggests areas for future research to enhance patient outcomes.
Importance: Evidence is scarce on the effectiveness of simulation-based training in transesophageal echocardiography (TEE).
Objective: To assess the effectiveness of simulation-based teaching vs traditional teaching of TEE knowledge and skills of cardiology fellows.
Design, Setting, And Participants: Between November 2020 and November 2021, all consecutive cardiology fellows inexperienced in TEE from 42 French university centers were randomized (1:1; n = 324) into 2 groups with or without simulation support.
Objectives: This study aimed to describe the heterogeneous extension of mitral annular disjunction (MAD) and assess the hypotesis that different phenotypes of disjunction are not associated with increased surgical challenges.
Background: Mitral regurgitation (MR) is the most common end-stage scenario of degenerative mitral valve disease (DMVD). Few data exist on the three-dimensional extension and geometry of MAD, as well as for its role in valvular dynamic and coaptation.
Background: The evolution of patients hospitalized with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is still hard to predict, even after several months of dealing with the pandemic.
Aims: To develop and validate a score to predict outcomes in patients hospitalized with COVID-19.
Methods: All consecutive adults hospitalized for COVID-19 from February to April 2020 were included in a nationwide observational study.
Objectives: To determine the 4D Flow Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) thresholds that achieve the best agreement with transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) for grading mitral regurgitation (MR).
Methods: We conducted a single-center prospective study of patients evaluated for chronic primary MR in 2016-2020. MR was evaluated blindly by TTE and 4D Flow CMR, respectively by two cardiologists and two radiologists with decades of experience.
Article Synopsis
- The Critical COVID France (CCF) study examined the effects of COVID-19 on 2868 hospitalized patients, focusing on those aged 18-45, who made up 11.2% of the sample.
- Young patients (18-45 years old) had lower rates of severe outcomes like ICU transfers and in-hospital deaths compared to older patients, but they experienced higher rates of certain cardiovascular issues like pericarditis and myocarditis.
- Despite lower overall severity, COVID-19 still posed significant cardiovascular risks for young patients, highlighting the importance of understanding its impacts on this age group.
Background: Although women account for up to half of patients hospitalized for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), no specific data have been reported in this population.
Aims: To assess the burden and impact of cardiovascular comorbidities in women with COVID-19.
Methods: All consecutive patients hospitalized for COVID-19 across 24 hospitals from 26 February to 20 April 2020 were included.
Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has led to a public health crisis. Only limited data are available on the characteristics and outcomes of patients hospitalized for COVID-19 in France.
Aims: To investigate the characteristics, cardiovascular complications and outcomes of patients hospitalized for COVID-19 in France.
Simulation-based training in transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) seems promising. However, data are limited to non-randomized or single-center studies. To assess the impact of simulation-based vs.

Aims: Although cardiac involvement has prognostic significance in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and is associated with severe forms, few studies have explored the prognostic role of transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). We investigated the link between TTE parameters and prognosis in COVID-19.
Methods And Results: Consecutive patients with COVID-19 admitted to 24 French hospitals were retrospectively included.
Background: Our study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes of patients with and without diabetes admitted to hospital with COVID-19.
Methods: This retrospective multicentre cohort study comprised 24 tertiary medical centres in France, and included 2851 patients (675 with diabetes) hospitalized for COVID-19 between 26 February and 20 April 2020. A propensity score-matching (PSM) method (1:1 matching including patients' characteristics, medical history, vital statistics and laboratory results) was used to compare patients with and without diabetes (n = 603 per group).
A pregnant woman presented with symptomatic bioprosthetic mitral valve stenosis. We discuss the difficulties of decision making in this particular situation where two lives are at stake, the fetus's and the mother's, questioning whether transcatheter mitral valve-in-valve implantation can be an effective and safe option for this challenging condition.

Aims: To address the incidence, characteristics and outcome of left-sided valvular IE with low CRP concentration.
Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of cases of IE discharged from our institution between January 2009 and May 2017.
