This randomized trial (NEAT-HFpEF) of 110 subjects (59 placebos) disproves, by clinical and biological markers, the utility of nitrates for exercise tolerance. This is a subset of cardiac failure patients we are likely to encounter in general cardiothoracic surgical practice.

3D echo was used to preoperatively assess the likelihood of recurrent MR after ring annuloplasty for ischemic MR. Recurrence was asssociated with P3 tethering angle greater than 29.9 degrees (accuracy 92%). The authors suggest that valve replacement rather than ring annuloplasty should be considered in such patients.

Outcomes of CABG for patients in cardiogenic shock after acute MI were evaluated using data from the STS Database. The study group of nearly 5,500 patients comprised 1.5% of all CABG patients during the study period. Operative mortality was 18.7%. Mechanical circulatory support use was most common in patients with more risk factors or high clinica
