AHA 2020 | Omega-3 Fatty Acids Provide No Cardiovascular Benefits and Cause More Atrial Fibrillation
Results confirm the interim analysis, whereby the study was suspended for futility. Omega-3 fatty acids do not reduce cardiovascular events in patients with high triglycerides and low HDL. ...

AHA 2020 | RIVER: Rivaroxaban as Alternative to Warfarin in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation and Bioprosthetic Mitral Valve
Rivaroxaban seems to be a reasonable alternative to warfarin in patients with atrial fibrillation and bioprosthetic mitral valve. These results arise from the RIVER Study presented at the ...

AHA 2020 | Clopidogrel Resists as the Best Option in Elective Patients
High risk patients undergoing elective PCI treated with a more potent antiplatelet scheme (ticagrelor) vs. the classic clopidogrel do not see a benefit in protection against periprocedural ...

AHA 2020 | AFFIRM-AHF: Ferric Carboxymaltose and Fewer Hospitalizations for Cardiac Failure
Correcting iron deficiency in patients with cardiac failure might reduce the risk of new hospitalizations according to the AFFIRM-AHF published in the Lancet and presented at AHA 2020. ...

AHA 2020 | Rise in Early Discharge After TAVR Has the Expected Cost
As hospitalization time after a transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is reduced, we are observing a concomitant increase in re-hospitalizations due to conduction disorders . Early ...

AHA 2020 | The More Operators “Listen” to FFR, the Lower the Risk
When operators decide to proceed with PCI despite a negative FFR (fairly frequent in the daily practice) outcomes at 5 years are far worse. This information comes from a large Canadian register ...
