The merits of SPAM and FAM pulses for enhancing the conversion of triple- to single-quantum coherences in the two-dimensional MQMAS experiment are compared using (87)Rb (spin I=3/2) and (27)Al (I=5/2) NMR of crystalline and amorphous materials. Although SPAM pulses are more easily optimized, our experiments and simulations suggest that FAM pulses yield greater signal intensity in all cases. In conclusion, we argue that, as originally suggested, SPAM and FAM pulses are best implemented in phase-modulated whole-echo MQMAS experiments and that the use of SPAM pulses to record separate echo and antiecho data sets, which are then combined, generally yields lower signal-to-noise ratios.

Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair in severe mitral regurgitation following acute myocardial infarction - aetiology-based analysis.
Eur J Heart Fail
January 2025
Jesselson Integrated Heart Centre, Shaare Zedek Medical Center, Hebrew University, Jerusalem, Israel.
Aims: To evaluate the association between transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) and outcomes in patients with significant mitral regurgitation (MR) following acute myocardial infarction (MI), focusing on the aetiology of acute post-MI MR in high-risk surgical patients.
Methods And Results: The International Registry of MitraClip in Acute Mitral Regurgitation following Acute Myocardial Infarction (IREMMI) includes 187 patients with severe MR post-MI managed with TEER. Of these, 176 were included in the analysis, 23 (13%) patients had acute papillary muscle rupture (PMR) and 153 (87%) acute secondary MR.
Tricuspid Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair for Severe Tricuspid Regurgitation: 1-Year Outcomes From the TRILUMINATE Randomized Cohort.
J Am Coll Cardiol
October 2024
Mount Sinai Health System, New York, New York, USA.
Article Synopsis
- - The TRILUMINATE Pivotal trial assessed the effects of tricuspid transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (T-TEER) on reducing tricuspid regurgitation (TR), a significant heart condition linked to increased health risks.
- - Involving 572 patients, mostly elderly women with prior heart conditions, the trial found that T-TEER effectively improved quality of life, with nearly half of those treated experiencing significant improvements in heart health assessments.
- - Results showed that while the treatment and control groups had similar rates of survival and heart-related surgeries, those who underwent T-TEER had notably better outcomes in TR severity and overall quality of life.
A disposable homemade screen printed electrode for famotidine analysis using a computer-designed molecularly imprinted polymer based on the MWCNT-FeO nanocomposite in simulated real samples.

A home-made screen printed electrode (SPE) was designed with a magnetic multi-walled carbon nanotube composite (MWCNT-FeO) and a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) for sensitive and selective electrochemical analysis of famotidine (FAM). The SPE was fabricated using non-commercial conductive inks such as carbon and silver inks. The electrodes were printed by a painting technique on polyvinyl chloride (PVC) sheets as a substrate.

Article Synopsis
- Finerenone demonstrates positive outcomes for patients with heart failure and varying degrees of ejection fraction, specifically HFmrHF and HFpEF, in a large clinical trial involving 6,001 participants aged 40-97.
- The analysis revealed that while the incidence of adverse cardiovascular outcomes increased with age, finerenone consistently reduced the risk of these outcomes across all age groups.
- Safety profiles, including the occurrence of hypotension and changes in potassium levels, showed no significant differences among age categories, suggesting that finerenone is safe and effective regardless of age.
TRIVALVE Score: A Risk Score for Mortality/Hospitalization Prediction in Patients Undergoing Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve Intervention.
JACC Cardiovasc Interv
September 2024
HerzZentrum Hirslanden, Zurich, Switzerland.
Background: Transcatheter tricuspid valve intervention (TTVI) has been increasingly adopted in recent years for the treatment of patients with tricuspid regurgitation (TR). However, no dedicated risk stratification has been established for patients undergoing TTVI.
Objectives: The aim of the present study was to propose a dedicated risk score for patients affected by severe TR undergoing TTVI.
