Smoking & CVD Risk; Sleep, Diabetes, & Women with Gestational Diabetes; Post-TAVR Imaging
In this week’s View, Dr. Eagle examines the dose-response relationship between smoking and subclinical cardiovascular disease markers. He then discusses how the effect of poor sleep increases diabetes risk in women who have had gestational diabetes. Finally, Dr. Eagle offers a look into imaging post-transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in patients who may have valve failure.
