Heart Disease Mortality in California; Pregnant Women and Cardiometabolic Comorbidities; CABG and New-Onset AFib
In this week’s View, Dr. Eagle looks at the social drivers behind the rise in heart disease mortality in California. He then explores the prevalence of preexisting cardiometabolic comorbidities and cardiovascular disease among pregnant women. Finally, Dr. Eagle discusses a recent prospective cohort study of patients who undergo coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) and experience new-onset atrial fibrillation (AFib), and how the burden after surgery is very low, especially after 30 days.

Evidence and Innovations Targeting Inflammation Post-AMI
In this week’s View, Dr. Eagle looks at the potential value of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) agents after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). He then explores a new randomized trial, HYPERION, focusing on the addition of sotatercept to lower the risk of clinical worsening in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Finally, Dr. Eagle discusses a state-of-the-art review centered around the use of an anti-inflammatory to lessen cardiovascular events and worse outcomes following acute myocardial infarction (AMI).

A Look at ACC’s Scientific Statement on Inflammation and CVD
In this week’s View, Dr. Eagle looks at an ACC Scientific Statement highlighting inflammation and its role in cardiovascular disease (CVD). He then explores left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) in patients with prior intracranial hemorrhage or ischemic stroke. Finally, Dr. Eagle discusses the recently released NEWTON-CABG CardioLink-5 trial on the use of evolocumab in the reduction of saphenous vein graft (SVG) disease rates. Subscribe to Eagle’s Eye View

Oral Semaglutide for Weight Loss; Anticoagulants for PAH; The ECDP on TR Evaluation and Management
In this week’s View, Dr. Eagle looks at the value of oral semaglutide for weight loss. He then explores whether anticoagulants improve survival in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Finally, Dr. Eagle discusses the recent release of the ACC Expert Consensus Decision Pathway (ECDP) on tricuspid regurgitation (TR) evaluation and management. Subscribe to Eagle’s Eye View

Nonatherothrombotic Myocardial Infarction and SCAD in Younger Patients; the Benefit of Intensive Blood Pressure Control; Clopidogrel vs. Aspirin for Prevention of CV Events
In this week’s View, Dr. Eagle looks at the net benefit of intensive blood pressure control between fewer cardiovascular and more adverse events. He then explores non-atherothrombotic myocardial infarction events and spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) in younger patients – something more commonly found among young women than young men. Finally, Dr. Eagle discusses whether clopidogrel is superior to aspirin for the prevention of major adverse cardiovascular or cerebrovascular events in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD).
