Weight Management in Pregnancy and CVD Risk; Impact of Statins Plus Ezetimibe Post-MI; PARTNER-3 Study 5-year Results
Eagle's Eye View: Your Weekly CV Update From ACC.org
In this week’s View, Dr. Eagle examines weight management in pregnancy related to cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. He then considers how the addition of early ezetimibe to statin could reduce CVD after myocardial infarction (MI). Finally, Dr. Eagle explores the PARTNER-3 study results which compare transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) to surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) and the echocardiographic outcomes at five years.

Outcomes of Pre-ablation Transesophageal Echocardiograms; TAVI vs. SAVR in Women With Severe AS; Effects in the Use of Oral Anti-coagulants (OACs)
Eagle's Eye View: Your Weekly CV Update From ACC.org
In this week’s View, Dr. Eagle examines the effects on patients who have undergone pre-ablation transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) versus those who have not. He then discusses a recent paper investigating the superiority of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) to surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) at one year in women with severe aortic stenosis (AS). Finally, Dr. Eagle explores OCEANIC-AF, a study that analyzes the differences in outcomes in patients with and without prior use of oral anti-coagulants (OACs).
