AI-Based OCT Analysis Outperforms Human Experts in Predicting Outcomes from Non-Culprit Lesions: Insights from the PECTUS-AI Study

The PECTUS-AI study demonstrates that AI-based identification of thin-cap fibroatheromas using OCT provides superior prognostic value for cardiovascular events compared to manual analysis, particularly when assessing the entire imaged coronary segment, offering a standardized approach to identifying high-risk patients.

M-TEER Benefits in Secondary Mitral Regurgitation: Consistent Clinical and Quality-of-Life Improvements Regardless of Baseline Health Status

The RESHAPE-HF2 trial reveals that mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) significantly reduces cardiovascular risks and enhances health status across all baseline patient conditions, reinforcing its role as a key intervention for symptomatic heart failure and secondary mitral regurgitation.
