Echocardiographic Remodeling and Atrial Dynamics with Mavacamten in Nonobstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: Insights from the ODYSSEY-HCM Trial

By MedXY 01/17/2026

This exploratory analysis of the ODYSSEY-HCM trial demonstrates that mavacamten induces modest regression of left ventricular hypertrophy and improves diastolic and left atrial function in nonobstructive HCM, despite a 21.5% incidence of reversible systolic reduction.

GLIDE Score Emerges as a Robust Predictor of Success in Direct Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve Annuloplasty

By MedXY 01/05/2026

A study of 204 patients demonstrates that the GLIDE Score, originally for edge-to-edge repair, effectively predicts procedural success in transcatheter tricuspid valve annuloplasty (TTVA), with predictive accuracy further enhanced by incorporating annular diameter measurements.
