Volume 47, Issue 11
The European Heart Journal's focus issue on valvular heart disease delves into evolving pharmacological approaches for heart failure, comprehensive management strategies for secondary mitral regurgitation, and the prognostic impact of transcatheter edge-to-edge repair for atrial functional mitral regurgitation. It also examines the complexities of pregnancy with prosthetic heart valves, including anticoagulation practices and maternal/perinatal outcomes, highlighting regional disparities. Further discussions include sex-specific outcomes in transcatheter versus surgical aortic valve replacement and the crucial considerations for managing moderate mixed aortic valve disease.
