Introduction: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has emerged as a common and effective treatment for patients with severe aortic stenosis. Changes in systemic blood pressure after TAVI have been described, yet their prognostic value is not established. Thus, we aimed to examine the association of the periprocedural changes in systolic blood pressure (SBP) and in pulse pressure on clinical outcomes after the procedure. Methods: A retrospective study of consecutive patients who underwent TAVI procedure in our medical center. We assessed the effect of the periprocedural changes in blood pressure measurements on mortality, acute myocardial infarction, stroke and hospitalizations at 1 year and on the combined outcome of death, myocardial infarction, and stroke 1 year following the procedure. Results: Our cohort included 455 patients (44% males). Of them, 343 patients (75.4%) had raised SBP immediately after the procedure. Patients with raised SBP had a significantly higher rate of the 1-year composite outcome, compared to patients who did not have a raise in SBP following the procedure (43 [13%] vs. 6 [5.4%], respectively, p = 0.033). After adjustment for age and sex, the postprocedural increase in SBP was significantly associated with the composite outcome, with a hazard ratio of 2.42, 95% CI: 1.03–5.7. Conclusion: An immediate increase in SBP after TAVI is associated with worse 1-year clinical cardiovascular outcomes.

Background: The aorta plays a crucial role in the blood circulation through its Windkessel function, buffering blood volume and regulating blood pressure. While traditionally viewed as primarily passive, this function…
Background: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a debilitating condition characterized by elevated pulmonary arterial pressure and progressive vascular remodelling, leading to exercise intolerance. The progression of PAH is…
Introduction: Lower extremity peripheral arterial disease (LEPAD), causing reduced limb blood flow and significant morbidity, is a major global health concern. Understanding its burden and attributable risk factors is…
Introduction: Central aortic pressure waveform analyses can provide clinically relevant information beyond conventional brachial blood pressure (BP) assessment. This waveform can be reproduced noninvasively through…
Background: In this second section of our 2-part review on the role of physical activity (PA) and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) in preventing and treating atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD), we expand on…
Arterial stiffness can nowadays be measured easily and noninvasively around the globe. Although well established as an independent predictor of cardiovascular events, less is known about the role of arterial stiffness…
Introduction: Aortic structure impacts cardiovascular health through multiple mechanisms. Aortic structural degeneration occurs with aging, increasing left ventricular afterload and promoting increased arterial…
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and osteoporosis are major causes of morbidity and mortality in postmenopausal women. The relationship between atherosclerosis and osteoporosis has been established by studies of the…
Background: Aortic stiffness, quantified by carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV), is a strong predictor of cardiovascular disease events. In general, dynamic "aerobic" exercise training performed regularly for many…
Introduction: Cerebellopontine angle tumors are a surgical challenge to many neurosurgeons who want to operate in this space. Although most of these tumors are benign, they are a challenge because of the complex anatomy…
