First head-to-head comparison of leading valve types finds better valve performance with selfexpanding valve and non-inferior clinical outcomes at one year
People with a small aortic annulus, a part of the heart's anatomy where the left ventricle meets the aorta, who underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with a supra-annular self-expanding valve saw similar clinical outcomes and superior valve performance at one year compared with those who underwent TAVR with a balloon-expandable valve, according to research presented at the American College of Cardiology's Annual Scientific Session.
But in a new study of more than 60,000 men, taking this medication along with nitrates increased risks of negative health outcomes such as heart failure and early death, according to a new study.
A new study found increased risks of negative health outcomes such as heart failure and early death when taking the ED drug known as PDE5i along with nitrates, a common drug for chest pain.
People are at higher risk for early death and other outcomes when taking both PDE5i, an erectile dysfunction drug, and chest pain medication, a new study has found.
