Objective: Originally designed to evaluate stroke risk in individuals with atrial fibrillation unrelated to valvular disease, the CHA2DS2-VASc score (Congestive heart failure, Hypertension, Age ≥ 75 years, Diabetes mellitus, prior Stroke/transient ischemic attack/systemic embolism, Vascular disease, Age 65-74 years, and Sex category - female) is now additionally utilized for the prognostic evaluation of cardiovascular diseases. This study aimed to evaluate the predictive role of the CHA2DS2-VASc score for lesion severity and long-term survival outcomes in individuals with peripheral artery disease (PAD).
Method: This retrospective analysis included 784 patients diagnosed with PAD via computed tomography (CT) angiography, consecutively enrolled from two medical centers.

Objective: Management of aortic stenosis (AS) requires integrating complex clinical, imaging, and risk stratification data. Large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT and Gemini AI have shown promise in healthcare, but their performance in valvular heart disease, particularly AS, has not been thoroughly assessed. This study systematically compared ChatGPT and Gemini AI in addressing guideline-based and clinical scenario questions related to AS.

Introduction: Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation is a highly effective procedure for the management of selected advanced heart failure patients, prolonging patient life and improving quality. Additional cardiac pathologies, especially valvular regurgitation or coronary heart disease, are common in LVAD recipients, whereas reports on the surgical management of heart failure combined with aortic disease are rare.
Case Presentation: We present a case of a 60-year-old patient with an aortic sinus aneurysm, aortic regurgitation, and end-stage heart failure.

Background: Rapid application of transcatheter valve replacement for valve diseases has promoted the development of biological valves. Different efforts have been made to improve the surface properties of valves. We developed a new method using arginine-glycine-aspartate (RGD) peptide and epoxy chloropropane (EC).
