Rhythm Control & Tricuspid Valve Regurgitation; Benefits of Blood Pressure Control on Cardiovascular Disease; Switching DOAC Therapy in AFIB Patients with Stroke; Pulsed Field Ablation & Persistent AFib

In this week's View, Dr. Eagle examines the role of rhythm control in improving moderate-to-severe and severe secondary tricuspid valve regurgitation. He then explores evidence showing that blood pressure reduction can deliver comparable cardiovascular benefits for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Another study reviewed in this episode assesses the outcomes of continuing versus switching direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) therapy in patients with atrial fibrillation (AFib) who experience breakthrough stroke. Finally, Dr. Eagle summarizes the AVANTE-GUARD trial, which evaluates pulsed field ablation as a first-line treatment for patients with persistent AFib.
