Latest in Cardiology from ACC.org
- CMS Proposes Updates to Ambulatory Specialty Model For HFThe Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has proposed several changes and clarifications to the Ambulatory Specialty Model (ASM) for heart failure (HF) in the 2027 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule proposed rule.
- Eagle's Eye View: Lifestyle Intervention Benefits Health Status in ANOCA PatientsIn this week’s View, Dr. Eagle looks at the wide variation in antithrombotic regimens after valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Next, he examines PARTNER-3, a 7-year study on TAVR versus surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) outcomes in low-risk patients.
- MERCURI-2: Dapagliflozin Before Cardiac Surgery Lowers Postoperative AKI RiskStarting dapagliflozin one day before elective cardiac surgery reduced the incidence of postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) during the first seven days after surgery, according to results from the double-blind, placebo-controlled MERCURI-2 trial published July 30 in JAMA.
- FFR in Focus: New Insights on Angiography-Derived Assessment and FFR-NHPR DiscordanceTwo studies recently published in JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions provide fresh insights into coronary physiology, suggesting that angiography-derived fractional flow reserve (FFR) may be a practical alternative to wire-based FFR, while highlighting the prognostic significance of definite discordance between FFR and nonhyperemic pressure ratios (NHPR).
- Central Adiposity as Predictor of CV Outcomes | JACC Special Issue on ObesityWaist circumference (WC) and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) provide additional diagnostic and prognostic value compared with conventional BMI categories alone, which may misclassify cardiovascular disease risk, according to results from the Cross-Cohort Collaboration (CCC) Obesity Working Group published Aug. 11 in JACC.
