Amid an aging global population, heart failure has become a leading cause of hospitalization among older people. Its high prevalence and mortality rates underscore the importance of accurate mortality prediction for swift disease progression assessment and better patient outcomes. The evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) presents new avenues for predicting heart failure mortality.

BBB breakdown has been implicated in Alzheimer's Disease (AD) pathogenesis, and elevated BBB permeability has been observed in APOE e4 carriers compared to non-carriers. As prior studies have focused on a priori, AD-vulnerable regions rather than whole-brain analyses, little is understood about broader patterns of BBB breakdown that may relate to AD risk.

Purpose Of Review: We describe the evolution of caval valve implantation (CAVI) as a treatment for severe symptomatic tricuspid regurgitation (TR) in the high surgical risk patient.
Recent Findings: Surgical treatment of severe TR is often limited by the high surgical risk of the patients who tend to develop severe secondary TR. Coaptation, annuloplasty, and orthotopic replacement strategies are all limited by annular and leaflet geometry, prior valve repair, and the presence of cardiac implantable device leads.

This review traces the evolution of centrifugal blood pumps in mechanical circulatory support (MCS) systems. Initially met with concerns over blood damage and thrombus formation, centrifugal pumps have become crucial components in ventricular assist devices (VADs) and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) due to their simplified drive mechanisms and adaptability. This paper outlines three generations of centrifugal pump development: first-generation pumps with sealing components, second-generation pumps utilizing pivot bearings, and third-generation pumps employing contactless bearings.
