Rapid evolution of field means transcatheter valves ‘obsolete’ by long-term data release
In the field of medicine, long-term data have often been considered the gold standard of outcomes data.
Choice between self-expanding, balloon-expandable TAVR valve multifaceted decision
During the past decade, the options for practitioners of transcatheter aortic valve replacement have expanded on a regular basis.
Advent of TAVR heart team ushered in new era of collaborative care
Before the emergence of the heart team in transcatheter aortic valve repair, the collaboration of an interventionalist and cardiac surgeon for the treatment of a single patient with CVD was a decidedly less common occurrence in cardiology.
Deep learning may reduce need for lung biopsies in patients with ILD
Compared with visual assessment, a deep learning model improved CT imaging prediction of histopathologic usual interstitial pneumonitis in patients with interstitial lung disease, according to study results published in CHEST.
Novel biomarker shows promise in assessing CFTR function in patients with cystic fibrosis
Challenged urine bicarbonate excretion provided a simple and safe quantification of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator function among adults with cystic fibrosis, according to data published in Annals of Internal Medicine.
Researchers identify clinical variable that predicts ability to wean from ECMO
A high effort to eliminate carbon dioxide was linked to a greater likelihood of failing to wean from venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, according to study results.
Greater bacterial, fungal lung microbiota burden linked to nonresolving ARDS in COVID-19
A higher bacterial and fungal lung microbiota burden in patients with COVID-19 was linked to nonresolving acute respiratory distress syndrome, according to a study published in American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine.
Biomarker shows promise in predicting future lung cancer risk
The arthrobacter luteus/albumin ratio demonstrated a strong dose-response relationship with overall lung cancer risk and may be helpful in identifying individuals who should undergo screening, according to study results published in Chest.
All-cause mortality rates in COPD similar for Black, white individuals
In a cohort of patients with COPD, researchers observed no significant differences in all-cause mortality between Black and white individuals, although there were differences regarding comorbidity-related mortality, study results showed.
Sleep study measurements predict underlying cardiopulmonary disease
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Among patients undergoing a sleep study, two oxygenation benchmarks demonstrated utility as screening tools for predicting underlying cardiopulmonary disease, according to study results.
