Impact of Prior Q-Wave Myocardial Infarction in Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement Patients With Reduced Ejection Fraction

Up to 1 out of 10 TAVR patients with reduced LVEF had prior QWMI, which was associated with impaired LVEF recovery, especially in those with anterior QWMI, and worse clinical outcomes at 3-year follow-up, largely driven by comorbidities. These findings underscore the importance of advanced preprocedural imaging, tailored therapeutic strategies, and integrated multidisciplinary care to enhance outcomes in this high-risk TAVR population.
