#19: Coffee's impact on blood pressure, safety of carotid artery stenting in the real world, transcatheter aortic-valve replacement in patients with coronary artery disease

Ready to dig into the latest cardiology research? In less than 15 minutes, we'll give you the low-down on three new studies that’ll help you in clinical practice. STUDY #1: First, we explore safety outcomes for carotid artery stenting and see how this could impact your clinical discussions and decision-making. And if you practice in the U.S., now that Medicare and Medicaid cover this procedure for a broader range of patients, this info will prove to be especially important.  Uchida, K, Sakakibara, F, Sakai, N, et al. 2024. Real-world outcomes of carotid artery stenting in symptomatic and asymptomatic patients with carotid artery stenosis. JACC Cardiovasc Interv. 9: 1160-1162. (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcin.2024.03.014) STUDY #2: Next, we tackle a common cardiology conundrum: how should we handle significant coronary artery disease lesions discovered incidentally in patients with severe aortic stenosis who are undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement? Is it better to treat these lesions beforehand, or is there a better strategy? We'll probe the debate, highlighting the potential implications of this new data. Colaiori, I, Paolucci, L, Mangiacapra, F, et al. 2024. Natural history of coronary atherosclerosis in patients with aortic stenosis undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement: The role of quantitative flow ratio. Circ Cardiovasc Interv. 0: e013705. (https://doi.org/10.1161/CIRCINTERVENTIONS.123.013705) STUDY #3: Lastly, we sip our way through the nuances of coffee consumption and its impact on blood pressure and cardiac arrhythmias. A new study lets us know whether our patients' daily caffeine fix can be left off the list of cardiac concerns. Trevano, F, Vela-Bernal, S, Facchetti, R, et al. 2024. Habitual coffee consumption and office, home, and ambulatory blood pressure: Results of a 10-year prospective study. J Hypertens. 6: 1094-1100. (https://doi.org/10.1097/HJH.0000000000003709) Join us to break down these studies, and elevate your cardiology knowledge!
