Anteris Technologies CEO Wayne Paterson joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce that the company has reached a major milestone by enrolling and treating the first patients in the United States for its DurAVR Transcatheter Heart Valve global pivotal trial. These landmark procedures were conducted at the Montefiore Medical Center in New York and were specifically performed for patients diagnosed with severe calcific aortic stenosis. Paterson noted during the announcement that conducting these initial U.S. cases within the global PARADIGM Trial represents a significant achievement for the investigators involved and offers valuable early procedural experience with the DurAVR THV System. The PARADIGM Trial is uniquely designed to address clinically meaningful questions that extend beyond standard safety metrics and basic hemodynamics. One of its core research objectives is to evaluate the specific impact of valve flow patterns on left ventricular recovery. According to the company, initiating this enrollment phase is a critical step in generating the high-quality evidence required to shape future standards of patient care. As a prospective randomized controlled trial, the study is set to evaluate the safety and clinical effectiveness of the DurAVR THV in direct comparison to various commercially available transcatheter aortic valve replacements currently on the market. The trial is expected to enroll approximately 1,000 patients into its 'All Comers Randomized Cohort'. Through a 1:1 randomization protocol, participants will be assigned to receive either the DurAVR THV or a standard TAVR using currently approved, commercially available heart valves. Ultimately, the trial investigators will assess non-inferiority based on a primary composite endpoint that tracks all-cause mortality, all instances of stroke, and cardiovascular-related hospitalizations exactly one year after the procedure has been completed. #proactiveinvestors #anteristechnologiesglobalcorp #asx #avr #nasdaq #avr #DurAVR #TAVR #HeartValve #ClinicalTrials #Cardiology #AorticStenosis #MedicalDevice #HealthcareInnovation #PARADIGMTrial #Biotech #MedTech #PatientCare #FDA #Cardiovascular

Following the publication of Baroness Louise Casey's highly critical report into grooming gangs involved in the sexual exploitation of children, we look at one of her 12 recommendations in detail. The Home Secretary, Yvette Cooper, has committed to reviewing the criminal convictions of victims of child sexual exploitation, quashing the criminal records of victims who were “criminalised instead of protected”. Nuala McGovern speaks to Jade, who as a teenager was charged with a grooming offence and is trying to get that conviction overturned. Nuala also hears from Paula Harriott, the CEO of the charity Unlock. Students will spend an average of 25 years on their phones over their lifetime. The average person in school, college or university spends five hours and 30 minutes a day on their mobile, according to a new study by the app, Fluid Focus. Last year Ofcom found that across all adult age groups, women are spending more time online – that's on smartphones, tablets and computers – than men - clocking up an extra 33 minutes more each day. Nuala speaks to Sunday Times journalist Charlotte Ivers about her phone use. More than half of Heart Valve Disease (HVD) cases are women, yet less than half of heart valve surgeries and procedures are on women, according to new data from the charity Heart Valve Voice. Heart valve disease is when one or more of your heart valves do not work like they should. This can affect blood flow and put extra strain on the heart. How can women's symptoms be taken more seriously? Nuala is joined by cardiologist Dr Alison Duncan and HVD patient Jaqueline, who was initially misdiagnosed with anxiety.Three years on since the war with Russia began, more and more young women are choosing to leave the country to continue their lives in Europe, either studying or working. Young men have been banned from leaving Ukraine after they turn 18 since the war broke out and martial law was introduced, but young women are free to leave. Freelance journalist Gabriella Jozwiak has been in the city of Lviv talking to young women about their plans for the future, and joins Nuala. Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Emma Pearce

In this podcast highlights the growing concern over transcatheter valve failure following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), emphasizing the need for standardized imaging protocols and frequent follow-ups. Experts discuss best practices for monitoring and managing these patients, urging collaborative international efforts to validate new imaging techniques and improve patient outcomes.

This special issue of JACC is dedicated to the essential role of cardiovascular surgery in advancing modern cardiology.

Vidcast:  https://www.instagram.com/reel/DGWA3Q0NTV5/This groundbreaking valve is custom-printed for each adult and pediatric patient.  Created by Georgia Tech bioengineers using shape memory material, the folded valve is introduced in a catheter.  Once in place, it resorbs over time after providing a scaffold for the patient's own body to regenerate and reconstruct it with tissue over time.  Currently available tissue valves of animal origin lack this ability.  This rebuilding feature is particularly valuable for pediatric patients with constantly growing hearts.   Currently, these 3D printed Bioresorbable valves have only been tested in a left heart simulator.  Once they are ready for human use, they could save kids from the need for multiple open heart surgical valve replacements…… someday soon.https://research.gatech.edu/feature/heart-valves#3dprinting #heart #valves #growing #children

Heart valve disease affects more than 5 million people in the U.S. and leads to 25,000 deaths each year. Aortic stenosis, the most common form of heart valve disease, affects 5% of people 65 and older. Heart valve symptoms may be subtle and develop slowly over time, putting a life-threatening strain on your heart. Early diagnosis of heart valve disease is key says Janet S. Wright, MD, FACC, Director of CDC's Division for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Laurie: Hi Dr. Cabral, First of all, thank you so much for all the information you provide. You've already helped me immensely! I saw a tiny tiny white worm in my stool and confirmed this with a stool test by my PCP. I tested positive for parasite or ova. I just ordered your para cleanse but I'm wondering if taking that 1 time will be enough. Should I be doing more? I heard a keto diet is helpful? Anything extra I should do? When should I retest? So surprised I saw this worm because I don't feel I have any symptoms at the moment, no real bloating, constipation ( as long as I take Mg before bed), diarrhea, some sleep disturbance with waking in the night but since resolving my thyroid that's improved, also haven't had food poisoning in 13 yrs. I also eat very well and take garlic tablets.thanks!     Scott: Hello Dr. Cabral, my question is about blood flow. It seems it always happens in the warmer and hot months (in the cold too) but, when I keep my arms down by my side or, at least somewhat lower than my upper body, they get REALLY red. When I push into my skin the color turns natural skin color, than instantly turns red again. I can hold my arms above my head and the color ends up going back to normal. Blood pressure has always been good, I do get flushed in the face at times, but, my hands are always red. Also, the back of my arms (triceps) get red when my arms get warm like when I work out, or, the sun hits it. Any help with this is greatly appreciated!!! Thank you for all you do, you are a mentor sir!!!     Lynn: Hi Dr. Cabral - for the past 5 or 6 months, it feels like when I breath there are toxins in the air, but it doesn't matter where I am - home, work, outside. It's hard to explain, but it's almost like the air is heavy, or I'm breathing in dust spores. At first, I was thinking it was the furnace (like not filtering dust, etc.), but it's not on now, and again, it's not just at my house. Plus, I have a high quality air filter at home and work. When I go to bed, it almost feels somewhat difficult to breathe because of this sensation. I'm at a loss, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for all that you do!     Jackie: Hi Dr. Cabral, thank you for all that you and your team do you have me greatly. I have run Big 5 --> 21 FMD --> Heavy metal + Estrogen dom --> and now in CBO. Everything has gotten much better with my PMS and general health. The one lingering symptom I have is for 3 days before my menstural cycle my percieved caloric and carb needs go up drastically - I am a bottomless pit :) For context I eat 120-150g of carbs from fruit and veggies + 18ish% bf. I am trying to figure out what my body actually needs because I can't believe that it actually needs double. My blood sugar is usually between 4.7-5.2 in the morning.     Pete: Hi Dr C Thanks for everything you do I really appreciate you and all you have created. My question is about the bicuspid heart valve and the leakage. I have been ‘diagnosed' as having severe leakage and a valve replacement is needed asap. I have no symptoms what so ever, I'm an in shape active 40yr old, surf and eat really well I listened to a previous house call and you said to follow a Mediterranean diet and foundational protocol level 2 or 3 Is there anything else you could recommend you would do ?

A few years ago, Bill Power started noticing that he was slowing down. He soon found out that what he was experiencing were actually symptoms of heart valve disease.

February is American Heart Month, and a pivotal date, February 22nd, shines a spotlight on Heart Valve Disease Awareness Day, emphasizing the significance of the role heart valves play in maintaining our overall health and well-being. What function do the heart valves serve? What are the ways a heart valve can fail? We spoke with Icilma Fergus, MD, board-certified in internal medicine and cardiology and director of cardiovascular disparities and clinical lipidology at Mount Sinai Medical Center, about lifestyle prevention strategies, warning signs of valve disease, new treatments, and how patients can be empowered to best advocate for themselves at the doctor's office.

CardioNerds co-founder Dr. Dan Ambinder joins CardioNerds join Dr. Pooja Prasad, Dr. Khoa Nguyen and expert Dr. Abigail Khan (Assistant Professor of Medicine, Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, School of Medicine) from Oregon Health & Science University and discuss a case of mechanical valve thrombosis. Audio editing by CardioNerds Academy Intern, student doctor Adriana Mares.  A 23-year-old pregnant woman with a mechanical aortic valve presented to the maternal cardiac clinic for a follow-up visit. On physical exam, a loud grade three crescendo-decrescendo murmur was audible and transthoracic echocardiography revealed severely elevated gradients across the aortic valve.  Fluoroscopy confirmed an immobile leaflet disk. Thrombolysis was successfully performed using a low dose ultra-slow infusion of thrombolytic therapy, leading to normal valve function eight days later. Treatment options for mechanical aortic valve thrombosis include slow-infusion, low-dose thrombolytic therapy or emergency surgery. In addition to discussing diagnosis and management of mechanical valve thrombosis, we highlight the importance of preventing valve thrombosis during the hypercoagulable state of pregnancy with careful pre-conception counseling and a detailed anticoagulation plan.

Pearls - mechanical valve thrombosis The hypercoagulable state of pregnancy presents a risk for women with mechanical heart valves with contemporary data estimating the rate of valve thrombosis during pregnancy at around 5%. Thrombolytic therapy is a (relatively) safe alternative to surgery and should be considered first line for treatment of prosthetic valve thrombosis in all patients, especially in pregnant women. Pre-conception counselling and meticulous anticoagulation management for patients with mechanical heart valves are key aspects of their care. The evaluation for prosthetic valve thrombosis in pregnant persons requires a review of anti-coagulation history and careful choice of diagnostic testing to confirm the diagnosis and minimize risks to the parent and the baby. Multi-disciplinary care with close collaboration between cardiology and obstetrics is critical when caring for pregnant persons with cardiac disease. Show Notes - mechanical valve thrombosis How can we counsel and inform women with heart disease who are contemplating pregnancy? Use the Modified World Health Organization classification of maternal cardiovascular risk to counsel patients on their maternal cardiac event rate and recommended follow-up visits and location of delivery (local or expert care) if pregnancy is pursued.

Cardio-Obstetrics: Normal Pregnancy Physiology with Dr. Garima Sharma. Adapted from the 2018 ESC Guidelines for the management of cardiovascular diseases during pregnancy What is the differential diagnosis for a new murmur in a pregnant person who has undergone heart valve replacement? Normal physiology - elevated flow from hyperdynamic state and/or expansion of blood volume in pregnancy. Pathologic - increased left ventricular outflow tract flow from turbulence of flow due to pannus ingrowth, new paravalvular leak, or obstructive mechanical disk motion from vegetation or thrombus. What are diagnostic modalities for the evaluation of suspected prosthetic valve thrombosis? The 2020 ACC/AHA guidelines gave a class I recommendation for evaluation of susp...
