Eagle’s Eye View: New ACC/AHA Guidelines on Prevention and Management of High BP
In this week’s View, Dr. Eagle looks at the new ACC/AHA guideline for prevention, detection, evaluation and management of high blood pressure (BP). He then discusses new-onset right bundle branch block (RBBB) post-transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and its association with a high risk of permanent pacemaker implantation (PPI). Finally, Dr. Eagle explores gender-affirming hormone therapies and their effect on cardiac repolarization.
