#25: Influenza and myocardial infarction, fasting protocols for cath lab procedures, anticoagulation therapy and transcatheter aortic-valve replacement

<p>In today’s episode of Cardiology Digest, we look at three recent research papers that can impact your clinical practice. They’re from NEJM Evidence, the European Heart Journal, and The New England Journal of Medicine.</p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>STUDY #1:</strong> Today’s journey begins with a study examining the interplay between influenza and myocardial infarctions.

#24: Patient selection and antiplatelet therapy for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), the best anticoagulants for patients with atrial fibrillation

<p>In this episode of Medmastery’s Cardiology Digest, we dive into three groundbreaking studies that are set to reshape our understanding and approach to cardiology.</p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>STUDY #1:</strong> First, we discuss a landmark piece of research that sheds new light on the benefits of percutaneous coronary intervention for patients with significant coronary artery disease who need a transcatheter aortic valve replacement. This study addresses important questions about patient selection for this intervention.  </p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Lønborg, J, Jabbari, R, Sabbah, M, et al. 2024. PCI in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic-valve implantation. <em>N Engl J Med</em>. Published online. (https://doi.org/10.1056/NEJMoa2401513)</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>STUDY #2:</strong> Next, we examine an insightful meta-analysis that evaluates patient-level data to inform the future of dual antiplatelet therapy after percutaneous coronary intervention. Discover the factors influencing the transition to ticagrelor monotherapy post-PCI and why this could change current guideline recommendations. </p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Valgimigli, M, Hong, S, Gragnano, F, et al. 2024. De-escalation to ticagrelor monotherapy versus 12 months of dual antiplatelet therapy in patients with and without acute coronary syndromes: A systematic review and individual patient-level meta-analysis of randomized trials. <em>Lancet</em>. <strong>10456</strong>: 937–948. (https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(24)01616-7)</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>STUDY #3:</strong> Lastly, we take a closer look at the EPIC-CAD study, which aligns with previous findings from the AFIRE trial. Learn why anticoagulant monotherapy is now being considered for the majority of patients with atrial fibrillation who require anticoagulation and have stable coronary artery disease, and what this means for your clinical practice.</p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Cho, MS, Kang, D-Y, Ahn, J-M, et al. 2024. Edoxaban antithrombotic therapy for atrial fibrillation and stable coronary artery disease. <em>N Engl J Med</em>. Published online.

#23: Edoxaban dosage and atrial fibrillation, invasive vs. noninvasive treatment of NSTEMI, chelation therapy for coronary artery disease

<p>Stay ahead with the newest cardiology research findings that could change your clinical practice!</p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>STUDY #1:</strong> First up, we explore new data on edoxaban dosage for older patients with atrial fibrillation. If we could give older patients a lower dose of edoxaban to reduce the risk of bleeding, will they still benefit from a lower risk for stroke? </p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Zimerman, A, Braunwald, E,  Steffel, J, et al. 2024. Dose reduction of edoxaban in patients 80 years and older with atrial fibrillation: Post hoc analysis of the ENGAGE AF-TIMI 48 randomized clinical trial. <em>JAMA Cardiol</em>. Published online. (https://doi.org/10.1001/jamacardio.2024.1793)</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>STUDY #2:</strong> Next, we delve into the nuanced world of invasive versus noninvasive treatment of non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). You’ll find out if mortality rates go up when we use a less invasive approach. </p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Kunadian, V, Mossop, H, Shields, C, et al. 2024. Invasive treatment strategy for older patients with myocardial infarction. <em>N Engl J Med</em>. Published online. (https://doi.org/10.1056/NEJMoa2407791)</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>STUDY #3:</strong> Lastly, we break down the latest findings on chelation therapy in patients with stable coronary artery disease and diabetes. Tune it to see whether the latest data challenges your perspective on the efficacy of EDTA in reducing cardiovascular risks.</p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Lamas, GA, Anstrom, KJ, Navas-Acien, A, et al. 2024. Edetate disodium-based chelation for patients with a previous myocardial infarction and diabetes: TACT2 randomized clinical trial. <em>JAMA</em>. Published online. (https://doi.org/10.1001/jama.2024.11463)</span></p> <p dir="ltr">Join us to uncover these critical insights, discussions, and more.
