• Off-Label Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve Interventions Demonstrate Reduced Residual TR, Improved QOL | NCDR Study
  Off-label use of transcatheter tricuspid valve interventions varied greatly across institutions; however, in the majority of tricuspid transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (T-TEER) and transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR) cases analyzed, these interventions reduced residual tricuspid regurgitation (TR) to at least moderate severity, and patients saw improved quality of life (QOL), according to a study published in […]

• Change in Renal Function Associated With Difference in 1-Year Survival Post Mitral TEER | NCDR Study
  In patients who underwent mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER), a greater than 10% change in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was associated with differences in survival at one year, according to a study using data from the STS/ACC TVT Registry published in Structural Heart.
• HF Hospitalization Risk in T2D Lower With GLP-1RAs Than DPP-4 Inhibitors, Similar With SGLT-2 Inhibitors
  In patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), the risk of hospitalization for heart failure (HHF) was significantly lower with GLP-1RAs than DPP-4 inhibitors while it was similar compared with SGLT-2 inhibitors, according to results from real-world emulation trials published Feb. 24 in Circulation.
