Primary outcomes included primary cardiovascular composite outcomes (heart failure hospitalization, stroke, myocardial infarction, or all-cause mortality) and primary renal composite outcomes (50% decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR], end-stage renal failure, or all-cause mortality). The secondary outcome was recurrent UTI. A target trial emulation was applied to estimate the impact of discontinuing SGLT2 inhibitors.RESULTSAmong 61 606 eligible patients, 3921 (6.36%) had at least one UTI incidence during follow-up. Patients with incident UTI exhibited a higher risk of primary cardiovascular composite outcomes [hazards ratio (HR): 3.18, 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.88-3.51] and primary renal composite outcomes (HR: 2.51, 95% CI: 2.32-2.72) compared to those without UTI. Following a UTI, 32.31% of patients discontinued SGLT2 inhibitors. Discontinuation was associated with a higher cardiovascular (HR: 1.35, 95% CI: 1.20-1.53) and renal (HR: 1.35, 95% CI: 1.21-1.51) risks compared to continued use, while the risk of recurrent UTI was similar (HR: 0.96, 95% CI: 0.22-4.29).CONCLUSIONSNew-onset UTI was associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular and renal events in patients with T2DM prescribed SGLT2 inhibitors.

Consequently, current guidelines lack specific recommendations for aortic valve replacement (AVR) in this population. This study aims to compare survival between moderate MAVD and isolated severe AS or severe AR, and to evaluate the impact of symptoms or left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 50%, as current criteria for AVR in severe AS or AR.METHODSOverall, 1926 patients were included from four centers: 527 with moderate MAVD, 413 with severe AR, and 986 with severe AS. The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality.RESULTSOver a median follow-up of 7.2 (interquartile range 3.4-11.3) years, 748 patients died. After adjusting for clinical and echocardiographic variables (including New York Heart Association [NYHA] class, LVEF < 50%, and AVR as time-dependent covariate), moderate MAVD patients showed 10-year survival similar to severe AS but worse than severe AR (62%, 55%, and 79%, respectively; P < .001). Symptomatic moderate MAVD patients showed adjusted mortality comparable to symptomatic severe AS, while asymptomatic moderate MAVD patients had adjusted mortality similar to severe AR (symptomatic and asymptomatic). Moderate MAVD patients with LVEF < 50% had adjusted mortality comparable to severe AS with LVEF < 50%, while those with LVEF ≥ 50% showed mortality similar to severe AR (regardless of left ventricular dysfunction).CONCLUSIONSIn moderate MAVD, the presence of symptoms or LVEF < 50% is associated with increased mortality, comparable to isolated severe AS under similar conditions. Therefore, patients with moderate MAVD should benefit from AVR in the presence of symptoms or left ventricular dysfunction.","PeriodicalId":11976,"journal":{"name":"European Heart Journal","volume":"58 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":39.3,"publicationDate":"2025-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145305640","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This review article aims to provide a contemporary perspective on the problem of post-PCI angina, leveraging recent advancements on the pathophysiological mechanisms that frequently underlie this condition, including sub-optimal functional results of PCI and non-obstructive causes of myocardial ischaemia.
