Episode notes
SGLT2 Inhibitors and Aortic Stenosis
- SGLT2 inhibitors may slow aortic valve stenosis progression.
- This is based on an observational study, not a randomized trial.
Early vs. Late AFib Ablation
- Early AFib ablation may be better than later ablation, according to a Korean study.
- Early ablation was linked to lower cardiovascular event risks.
Sports Participation with Cardiac Abnormalities
- New guidelines suggest athletes with cardiovascular abnormalities can often safely participate in sports.
- Shared decision-making is crucial, considering risks and benefits.
