Abstract:
From the wealth of recent registries and trials scrutinising its performance, trans-catheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) emerges as a viable and rapidly established option, both when compared to medical treatment in inoperable patients and when compared to conventional surgical treatment in high-risk patients. Results consistently demonstrate improvement in functional status and outcome; however, appropriate patient selection remains crucial as high-risk cohorts become apparent.

Heart Valves
The AV valves prevent the backflow of blood from the ventricles to the atria during ventricular contraction. These valves function with the assistance of the chordae tendineae and papillary muscles. When the ventricles are relaxed, the chordae tendineae are slack, allowing blood to flow from the atria into the...

Guidelines for Writing Outcome
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care...
