COVID-19 infection increases the risk of potentially life-threatening blood clots for at least 49 weeks, according to a new study of health records of 48 million unvaccinated adults from the first wave of the pandemic.
A systematic review of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) used in cardiovascular disease (CVD) populations has found that most fall short of quality standards required to guide clinical research and practice. Few measurements reported on the validation of all Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-recommended psychometric properties, had psychometric properties rated as sufficient by Consensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement Instruments (COSMIN), or had minimally important differences established. The review is published in Annals of Internal Medicine.
Several factors increase the risk of heart attack, such as high blood sugar (hyperglycemia), obesity, abnormal cholesterol levels, high blood pressure (hypertension), and smoking.
Mitral Valve Repair Reference Center Award recognizes Hackensack University Medical Center’s commitment to best practices, quality for mitral valve repair

The certification recognizes the hospital for commitment to improving patient outcomes and quality of life by enhancing standards of care.
When patients who are on a commonly prescribed blood thinner stop taking aspirin, their risk of bleeding complications drops significantly (more than 30%), a new study finds. Researchers say aspirin should only be taken under the direction of a physician to review if the expected benefit outweighs the risk.
Results of the first randomized controlled trial to directly compare two contemporary transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) devices for degenerative mitral regurgitation (DMR) found that the PASCAL transcatheter valve repair system was non-inferior compared with MitraClip in patients with significant symptomatic DMR who are not eligible for mitral valve surgery. Findings from the CLASP IID trial were reported today at TCT 2022, the 34th annual scientific symposium of the Cardiovascular Research Foundation (CRF). TCT is the world’s premier educational meeting specializing in interventional cardiovascular medicine.
An analysis from the Society of Thoracic Surgeons/American College of Cardiology (STS/ACC) TVT Registry found that most patients with severe mitral regurgitation (MR) and cardiogenic shock (CS) who underwent mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) in the United States achieved successful MR reduction, and that successful repair was associated with lower mortality and heart failure (HF) hospitalizations at one year post-procedure compared with unsuccessful repair.
Vascular and cardiac surgeons in the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai know all too well the danger that looms when a patient experiences a tear in their heart’s main artery, called an aortic dissection. The condition, however, is often mistaken by patients—and even some physicians and nurses—for a heart attack, which can delay diagnosis and subsequent lifesaving surgery.
A study published today in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC): Cardiovascular Imaging shows that artificial intelligence tools can more rapidly, and objectively, determine calcium scores in computed tomographic (CT) and positron emission tomographic (PET) images than physicians, even when obtained from very-low-radiation CT attenuation scans.

Minimally invasive, catheter-based transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has revolutionized treatment of aortic stenosis (AS), and both American and European guidelines have approved its use.
The global study assessed risk factors, including metabolic (such as high blood pressure, obesity and diabetes), behavioural (smoking and diet), and psychosocial (economic status and depression) in about 156,000 people without a history of CVD between the ages of 35 and 70. Living in 21 low, middle and high-income countries on five continents, they were followed for an average of 10 years.

Cardiac conditions in women are underdiagnosed, undertreated, and under-researched compared to men. In an important prospective study in the Canadian Journal of Cardiology, published by Elsevier, investigators report that attending a multidisciplinary dedicated women’s heart center can increase the likelihood of an accurate diagnosis and significantly improve clinical and psychological outcomes of women reporting chest pain due to insufficient heart-muscle blood flow (myocardial ischemia) but not diagnosed with obstructive coronary artery disease.
