Background: Socio-economic deprivation is a key determinant for health. In England, the Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) is a widely used composite measure of deprivation. However, little is known about its spatial clustering or persistence acros...

Advanced glycation end products (AGE) are central to the development of cardiovascular complications associated with diabetes mellitus. AGE may alter cellular function through cross-linking of cellular proteins or by activating the AGE receptor (RAGE...

Objectives This study sought to determine the risk factors for post-transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) dialysis and to determine the impact of pre-TAVR or post-TAVR dialysis on mortality. Background TAVR is now established as an alter... Read More about Dialysis following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation: risk factors and outcomes: An analysis from the UK TAVI Registry.

Relative survival following transcatheter aortic valve implantation: how do TAVI patients fare relative to the general population? (2017)

Background Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is indicated for patients with aortic stenosis who are intermediate-high surgical risk. Although all-cause mortality rates after TAVI are established, survival attributable to the procedure i...
