🔎Do you remember the case of the 39-year-old patient with a late #STEMI complicated by severe biventricular dysfunction and a ventricular septal rupture requiring emergent VA-ECMO and IABP support?
The poll sparked a wide range of opinions - highlighting just how challenging these cases can be.
🫀Now discover how the Heart Team approached this complex mechanical complication, balancing timing, hemodynamic support, and definitive treatment.

🫀Post-MI ventricular septal rupture: a critical trans-disciplinary case
A 39-year-old patient with no medical history developed a non-restrictive VSD, severe biventricular dysfunction, and cardiogenic shock following a late #STEMI. Despite #PCI and IABP support, he deteriorated and required VA-ECMO.

📊The DARE-AF trial published in @CircAHA explored whether Dapagliflozin, an SGLT2 inhibitor, can reduce AF recurrence post-ablation in patients without typical indications for the drug.
Unlike earlier studies involving patients with conditions like heart failure or type 2 diabetes, this trial focused on 200 patients set for ablation without these comorbidities.
In our Journal Club video, @ShelleyZieroth reviews the findings and their significance for SGLT2 inhibitors in new patient groups.
