Our latest publication @JAHA_AHA investigating the prevalence, impact & strategies for severe multiple valvular heart disease #MVHD in #TAVR: Severe #MR & #TR were prevalent & associated with incr. mortality. Staged #TEER reduced 1- & 5-year mortality ➡️bit.ly/4jH2S0p

Our latest publication @ejhg_journal on the #genetic architecture of #bicuspid aortic valve (#BAV): Only ~2% of sporadic #BAV patients carry predicted deleterious rare variants in monogenic #BAV genes, suggesting that most #BAV cases are polygenic. bit.ly/4nV9iwB
