Deep Learning-Based Electrocardiogram Analysis Predicts Biventricular Dysfunction and Dilation in Congenital Heart Disease 11:27

2h ago11:27

11:27

Dr. Valentin Fuster evaluates a deep learning model designed to predict left and right ventricular dysfunction and dilation in congenital heart disease patients using ECG and CMR data. The research demonstrated that AI ECG can reliably identify significant cardiovascular issues, though future work should focus on refining thresholds and validating …

Low-Dose Rivaroxaban Plus Aspirin in Fragile Patients After Lower Extremity Revascularization 9:13

3h ago9:13

9:13

Dr. Valentin Fuster discusses a study on the effects of low-dose rivaroxaban combined with aspirin in fragile patients after lower extremity revascularization, focusing on the balance between efficacy and safety. It highlights that while frailty increases the risk of adverse outcomes, rivaroxaban reduces ischemic events but also raises bleeding ris…

The Off-Treatment Effects of Olpasiran on Lipoprotein(a) Lowering: OCEAN(a)-DOSE Extension Period Results 11:12

3h ago11:12

11:12

In this episode, Dr. Valentin Fuster explores findings from the Phase 2 OCEAN-LDO trial assessing the off-treatment effects of the RNA-based drug alpcisiran on lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] levels. The study found that high doses of alpcisiran reduced Lp(a) levels by up to 95% during treatment, with a sustained reduction of 27-76% persisting up to 96 week…
