Background Biomarkers were advocated as prognostic factors in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve intervention, with contradictory results concerning prognostic impact of troponin. Our aim was to assess the prognostic impact of preprocedural and postprocedural troponin in transcatheter aortic valve intervention. Methods and Results Preprocedural and postprocedural high-sensitivity troponin levels were measured in all patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve intervention.

The objectives were to determine the potential value of various cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) parameters for the prediction of adverse long-term outcome in patients presenting with suspected AM.
Methods: In a single-centre longitudinal prospective study, 203 routine consecutive patients with an initial CMR-based diagnosis of AM (typical Late Gadolinium Enhancement, LGE) were followed over a mean period of 18.
Double giant coronary aneurysm: improved morphological study by computed tomography.

Coronary artery aneurysm may cause coronary artery rupture, thromboembolism or haemodynamic problems related to compression. We report the case of a 68-year old man who was referred to an intensive cardiological care unit for recurrence of ventricular tachycardia. Coronary angiography revealed two large aneurysms of the mid-right coronary artery.

We sought to evaluate the incidence, characteristics, predictors and prognosis impact of serious hemorrhagic complications following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).
Methods: One hundred and seventy one consecutive patients with symptomatic severe AS (83.
Article Synopsis
- * Researchers followed 126 patients, finding that a low baseline MTG (<40 mmHg) significantly predicted a higher risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and cardiovascular death within a year post-TAVI.
- * The results suggest that measuring MTG before TAVI could help identify patients at increased risk for serious complications, aiding in better patient management and decision-making.
