@srdeleiras I think we treat patients like these but this is not the main population in our practice, 90% of patients in Best Medical treatment Group of CLOSURE-AF received OAC.

@JGCorSo I would say that this study addresses precisely the type of patients we are currently treating

LAAO does what it is supposed to do—prevent stroke/systemic embolism—similar to gold standard. The population included in CLOSURE-AF is not the one we usually treat (at least in our practice), typically patients who cannot tolerate OAC and not to frail for LAAO. MITRA-FR on mind.

La huelga de médicos en España ilustra bien lo que ayer advertía JAMA: ‘cuando el sistema sanitario organiza la medicina como un empleo burocrático más que como una profesión con significado, tienden a aparecer desafección, fuga de profesionales y movilización colectiva’. En este sentido, la huelga puede leerse como una expresión práctica de ese diagnóstico: los médicos no sólo reclaman mejoras materiales; también buscan preservar el sentido profesional de la medicina frente a su reducción a trabajo administrativo regulado

After the two recent meta-analyses published in The Lancet and NEJM, one could argue that the case is settled: following myocardial infarction, beta-blockers should be prescribed to patients with an LVEF <40%, may be considered in those with an LVEF of 40–49%, and in patients with an LVEF ≥50% only if there are other indications, such as hypertension, atrial fibrillation, or heart failure. The guidelines are partially misaligned with the emerging evidence and will most likely be updated in the near future.

Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) is an option for functional mitral regurgitation, though its benefit over guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) alone is inconsistent. In this meta-analysis using reconstructed time-to-event individual patient data from the MITRA-FR, COAPT, and RESHAPE-HF2 trials, TEER plus GDMT significantly reduced death or heart failure hospitalization at 24 months, and heart failure hospitalization alone, in patients with symptomatic moderate-to-severe functional mitral regurgitation. eurointervention.pcronline.com/article/transc…

Cardiac physiologic pacing, also known as cardiac resynchronization therapy, is indicated in patients with heart failure, reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 50% or less, and either a high (or anticipated high) ventricular pacing burden or a wide QRS complex. Traditionally, physiologic pacing has been achieved with biventricular pacing with a right ventricular lead and a coronary sinus branch lead. Randomized trials involving more than 10,000 patients with heart failure have shown clinical, exercise, and quality-of-life benefits associated with biventricular pacing, as well as improved LVEF and reduced mitral regurgitation and ventricular volumes. These benefits are greatest in patients with left bundle-branch block and a QRS duration of 150 msec or longer. Recent studies support targeting the His bundle or left bundle branch as an alternative cardiac physiologic pacing strategy. Ongoing randomized trials are expected to more clearly define the comparative efficacy and safety of conduction system pacing as compared with biventricular pacing.
