This was consistent with results for the composite outcome (hazard ratio=0.86; 95% confidence interval = 0.78 to 0.95). In conclusion, AF/AFL patients initiated on dronedarone versus other AADs had significantly lower risk of CV hospitalizations as well as the composite CV hospitalization / death from any cause.The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic role of heart failure (HF) history in patients with secondary mitral regurgitation (SMR) underwent MitraClip. We retrospectively analyzed 186 patients with SMR undergoing MitraClip at 4 centres. HF history was defined as number or days of HF hospitalizations in the 12-month before MitraClip, or as time from last HF hospitalization to MitraClip, or time between first SMR diagnosis and MitraClip. More severe symptoms were observed in patients with >1 HF hospitalization compared with those with ≤1 HF hospitalizations, in those with ≥10 days versus 1) of HF hospitalizations before MitraClip was the most powerful predictor of prognosis. Latency of intervention did not affect outcomes.To evaluate the relation of aortic regurgitation (AR) pressure half-time (PHT) on transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and all-cause mortality, we screened 118,647 baseline TTE reports from 2000 to 2017, to identify patients with any AR and PHT data. Patients with infective endocarditis or previous aortic valve replacement were excluded. The relation of baseline PHT on time to all-cause mortality was evaluated using Cox regression. A total of 2,653 patients were included (73.1 ± 14.3 years; 53.8% female; PHT, 530 ± 162 ms). Patients with shorter PHTs more frequently had 3-4+ AR (PHT ≤ 200 ms vs > 500 ms, 17.9% vs 0.6%, p 750 ms was significantly related to increased mortality, even amongst those with non
