Prognostication Following Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Mitral Valve Repair Using Combined Echocardiography-Derived Velocity Time Integral Ratio and Artificial Intelligence Applied to Electrocardiogram.

: Mitral valve transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) has emerged as a minimally invasive option for high-risk surgical candidates with severe and symptomatic mitral regurgitation (MR), but post-procedure residual mitral valve (MV) dysfunction remains a significant concern. This study evaluates the clinical utility of combining artificial intelligence applied to electrocardiograms (ECG-AI) for diastolic dysfunction (DD) grading and the echocardiography-derived velocity time integral of the MV and left ventricular outflow tract ratio (VTI/) in predicting prognosis in patients post-M-TEER. : A retrospective analysis of patients who underwent M-TEER between 2014 and 2021 was conducted.

Current State of Simulation in Interventional Cardiology Training: Results of a SCAI Survey.

Background: Interventional cardiology (IC) is well suited to simulation education, with a wide spectrum of digital and physical models for procedural training. Despite this, standardization, validation, and access to simulation training remains inconsistent in the United States and globally. Ten years have elapsed since the last Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions (SCAI) expert consensus statement on simulation in IC, which included a survey of US program directors.

The Practice: A Leadership-Endorsed Workplace Intervention to Improve Well-being in Healthcare Professionals.

Background: Highly prevalent and worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic, burnout is associated with more frequent self-reported medical errors, suboptimal patient care, staff attrition, and lower professional fulfillment. There is a growing call for "wellness-centered leaders" who model, integrate, and prioritize well-being within the practice environment.  OBJECTIVE: Having piloted a novel intervention called "The Practice" in one work unit with promising outcomes, we set out to implement and prospectively study the intervention more broadly at our institution.

Impact of moderate or severe mitral and tricuspid valves regurgitation after transcatheter aortic valve replacement.

Background: Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) and mitral regurgitation (MR) are common valvular conditions encountered in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). This retrospective study investigates the impact of moderate or severe TR and MR on all-cause mortality in 1-year post-TAVR patients.

Methods: Consecutive patients who underwent TAVR at the 3 academic tertiary care centers in our health system between 2012 and 2018 were identified.
