Sometimes, it just takes a small step to make a big difference. Sometimes, it takes just two hours to properly understand how to assess your risk of heart disease and how to use a lifestyle-first approach to reducing heart disease. When people ask me what they should read to better understand what tests to take and what steps they need to do to reduce their risk of heart disease, I point them to this newsletter.

IntroductionTranscatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) is a valuable treatment option in patients with severe mitral regurgitation. Prior transapical transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TA-TAVR) may complicate the procedure and is therefore considered a relative contraindication. In this case report, the authors describe the successful TMVR as a tertiary cardiac surgery and transapical redo procedure.Case SummaryAn 83-year-old male patient, suffering from dyspnoea and angina, was diagnose

Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) is a common congenital atrial septal defect present in 20%–35% of the general population. Although generally considered a benign anatomic variant, a PFO may facilitate passage of a thrombus from the venous to arterial circulation, thereby resulting in cryptogenic stroke or systemic embolization. A PFO is detected in nearly one half of patients presenting with cryptogenic stroke and often considered the most likely etiology when other causes have been excluded.

Pulsed Field Ablation is a relatively new modality for treatment of atrial fibrillation. In conventional ablation for atrial fibrillation, either heating of tissue is produced by radiofrequency application or freezing of tissues by cryoablation. Most popular method is pulmonary vein isolation using these energy sources as the pulmonary veins harbour the triggers for atrial fibrillation.
