Secondary mitral regurgitation (SMR) remains a prevalent and challenging complication in patients with heart failure (HF), associated with poor prognosis despite optimal guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) and cardiac resynchronization therapy. Current American and European guidelines recommend GDMT as first-line therapy, with transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) reserved for severe symptomatic SMR patients who remain refractory. However, both guidelines preceded the reporting of pivotal randomized controlled trials (RESHAPE-HF2, MATTERHORN, and EFFORT) and emerging evidence in new clinical scenarios.

Background: Type-2-diabetes-mellitus (T2DM) impairs outcomes in patients undergoing cardiac-resynchronization-therapy-with-defibrillator (CRTd).While both sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) have cardiovascular benefits, their combination impact in CRTd-treated T2DM patients remains unclear.
Methods: In this prospective multicenter observational study, 2,257 T2DM patients treated with CRTd were stratified into three groups: SGLT2i monotherapy (n 874), GLP-1RAs monotherapy (n 808), and combination therapy with GLP-1RAs/SGLT2i (n 575).

Chemotherapy-induced cardiomyopathy (CHIC) represents a growing clinical challenge due to the increasing use of cardiotoxic treatments. These therapies can lead to progressive myocardial dysfunction, ultimately resulting in heart failure. Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has been widely investigated in selected patients with chronic heart failure; however, those with CHIC remain underrepresented in CRT trials.

Background: To determine what proportion of device-eligible patients with heart failure treated in a specialized clinic are on optimal guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) at the time of device referral and their benefit-risk status.
Methods: A cohort study was conducted of all patients seen between January 2013 and August 2024. We characterized GDMT by the modified Heart Function Collaboratory score at the time of device referral and grouped patients by Multicenter Automatic Defibrillator Implantation Trial-II (MADIT-ICD) benefit-risk score.
