Cardiogenic Shock Guidance; Mortality after Mitral Repair & TAVR; Direct-to-Physician Marketing Affects GDMT

In this week’s View, Dr. Eagle looks at the major trials and presentations from the recently concluded ACC.25 in Chicago. This episode includes coverage of practice-changing and practice-validating trials including:   Evolut Low Risk: Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) noninferior to surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) at 5-Year Follow-Up   SMART-CHOICE 3: Clopidogrel shows benefit over aspirin monotherapy following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)  DAPA-TAVI: Dapagliflozin safe and effective in older adults with heart failure (HF) undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI)  STRIDE: Semaglutide improves peripheral artery disease (PAD) outcomes  RIVAWAR: Rivaroxaban as effective as warfarin for post-myocardial infarction (MI) left ventricle (LV) thrombus   API-CAT: Extended anticoagulant therapy with reduced-dose apixaban noninferior to full-dose in patients with active cancer and venous thromboembolism (VTE)    Subscribe to Eagle’s Eye View
