Structural cardiac interventions in patients with heart failure
27 Aug 2024
The review aims to address the unmet needs in heart failure (HF) management, particularly in patients where structural heart disease coexists with HF and limits the effectiveness of guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT).

Acute and chronic right ventricular failure: focus on the weak link
16 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
This session discusses new diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of shock due to right ventricular infarction, explores why and how the failing right ventricle contributes to worsening heart failure, and examines device-based treatment opportunities for chronic right ventricular and tricuspid valve failure, including repair vs replacement. It...
Management of patient with coronary artery disease and left ventricle dysfunction
15 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
This session focuses on the management of patients with stable coronary artery disease and left ventricular dysfunction. Experts will discuss the role of mechanical circulatory support devices in these patients, as well as the diagnosis and treatment of microvascular angina, which can be a challenging complication...

Mechanical circulatory support in cardiogenic shock and high-risk PCI
14 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
This session, comprising selected EuroPCR 2024 Abstract submissions, focuses on the use of mechanical circulatory support in cardiogenic shock and high-risk PCI. It includes presentations and discussions on lowering cardiogenic shock mortality through a comprehensive mechanical circulatory support approach, the use of lactate and lactate clearance...
Endovascular treatment for acute chronic heart failure
14 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
This session comprises a selection of complex endovascular cases for the treatment of acute chronic heart failure, including the use of 3D printing and virtual reality to close a pulmonary arteriovenous malformation, closure of a post-septal myectomy ventricular septal defect, and catheter-based treatment of a heart...
What is the optimal management of patients with coronary artery disease and left ventricle dysfunction in 2024?
15 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
Check out this EuroPCR 2024 interview between Valeria Paradies and Vasileios Panoulas to learn about CAD patients with LV dysfunction. Gain insights from the REVIVED trial, which shows that very stable, asymptomatic patients can be treated with medical therapy, including the four pillars of heart failure...
Mechanical circulatory support in cardiogenic shock: where are we now?
14 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
In this EuroPCR 2024 interview, Alaide Chieffo and Gabor Toth discuss mechanical circulatory support in cardiogenic shock and myocardial infarction. They address the ECLS-SHOCK trial's lack of benefit from prophylactic ECMO, stressing improved patient selection and timing. They contrast this with the DanGer Shock study, where...

Empagliflozin after acute myocardial infarction: Results of the EMPACT-MI Trial
07 Apr 2024
Mirvat Alasnag interviews Javed Butler about the EMPACT-MI trial which he presented at ACC.24 in Atlanta.
Among patients at increased risk for heart failure after acute MI, treatment with empagliflozin did not lead to a significantly lower risk of first hospitalization for heart failure or death from any...
