Patients presenting for TAVR or M-TEER with baseline moderate or severe tricuspid regurgitation were associated with lower post-treatment KCCQ scores and a higher mortality rate. Perhaps treating more of these patients with tricuspid valve repair or replacement could make a difference, researchers noted. 

In addition to more traditional presentations, this year's meeting will also include "Rapid Fire" sessions designed to pack a lot of late-breaking data into a relatively small amount of time.

The sensors of certain FreeStyle Libre 3 devices are producing inaccurate glucose readings and should not be used. Two patient injuries have been reported. Abbott first reported the problem in July. 

The findings, based on data from more than 800 TAVR patients, suggest that skipping OAC medications for a small amount of time could make a big impact.

The new partnership is focused on getting advanced AI algorithms into the hands of cardiologists.

When PCI patients present with complex lesions, optical coherence tomography may provide significant value.

“No clear recommendation currently exists in U.S. or European guidelines for performing PCI in addition to TAVR,” researchers wrote. The group hoped its study could provide some clarity. 

HeartKey Rhythm was designed to help care teams keep up with the rising amount of ECG data they receive on a regular basis.

Many of these exams are ultimately deemed normal, and their results often do not affect how patients’ headaches are managed. 

The study, presented at ESC Congress 2024 in London, confirmed that TAVR was associated with significantly better outcomes than surgery when treating female patients.
