 In this week’s View, Dr. Eagle looks at the durability of pulmonary vein isolation using pulsed-field ablation, then examines genetic penetrance of dilated cardiomyopathy in genotype-positive relatives. Finally, Dr. Eagle shares some thoughts on reinterventions after CoreValve/Evolut TAVR or SAVR for treatment of severe aortic stenosis.    Subscribe to Eagle’s Eye View

 In this week’s View, Dr. Eagle looks at transcatheter-based intervention for tetraology of Fallot. He then examines how a small left ventricle in patients with atrial fibrillation is associated with increased cardiovascular risk. Finally, Dr. Eagle shares some thoughts on an aspirin-free strategy for immediate treatment following complex percutaneous coronary intervention.    Subscribe to Eagle’s Eye View

 In this week’s View, Dr. Eagle looks at the recently released guidelines for lower extremity peripheral arterial disease (PAD). He then examines a national community-based cohort study on contemporary decongestion strategies in patients hospitalized for heart failure. Finally, Dr. Eagle shares some thoughts on the implications of discordance among ApoB, non–high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides for cardiovascular prevention.    Subscribe to Eagle’s Eye View

 In this week’s View, Dr. Eagle looks at the new AHA/ACC Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Guideline, then examines a randomized clinical trial that studied smoking cessation after initial treatment failure with varenicline or nicotine. Finally, Dr. Eagle shares some thoughts on a clinical consensus statement of the ESC Council on Stroke, the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging, and the European Heart Rhythm Association of the ESC on embolic strokes of an undetermined source.    Subscribe to Eagle’s Eye View
