The podcast covers topics such as the Million Hearts RCT, ENRICH AF, TAVI vs SAVR, Partner 3 and Evolut-low-risk trials, and myocardial viability. It explores the impact of risk calculators and risk reduction payments on patient treatment motivation. The Million Heart Study suggests that extra treatment may lead to reduced cardiovascular events but more hospitalizations. Clinical trials comparing E-doxaban and Tavi versus SAVR reveal varying outcomes and concerns about death rates, stroke rates, and rehospitalization. A study compares treatment options for ischemic cardiomyopathy and discusses the role of viability testing.
