    Abstract Background: Calcification of the aortic valve is a common heart valve disorder, in some cases leading to clinically impactful severe aortic stenosis (AS). Sex-specific differences in aortic valve calcification (ACV) exist, with women having a lower burden of calcification than men as measured by computed tomography; however, the pathophysiological mechanism that leads to these differences remains unclear.
    Methods: Using cultured human Tamm-Horsfall protein 1 (THP-1) macrophages and human aortic valve interstitial cells, the effects of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles isolated from the plasma of men and women with severe AS were studied for cholesterol efflux capacity (CEC).
    Results: HDL-CEC was assessed in 46 patients with severe AS, n = 30 men, n = 16 women. ATP-Binding Cassette A1 (ABCA1)-mediated HDL-CEC was measured from human cultured THP-1 macrophages to plasma HDL samples. Women with severe AS had more ABCA1-mediated HDL-CEC, as compared to men (8.50 ± 3.90% cpm vs. 6.80 ± 1.50% cpm, P = 0.04). HDL pre-β1 and α-particles were higher in woman than in men by spectral density, (pre-β1 HDL, 20298.29 ± 1076.15 vs. 15,661.74 ± 789.00, P = 0.002, and α-HDL, 63006.35 ± 756.81 vs. 50,447.00 ± 546.52, P = 0.03). Lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase conversion of free cholesterol into cholesteryl esters was higher in women than men (16.44 ± 9.11%/h vs. 12.00 ± 8.07%/h, P = 0.03).
    Conclusions: Sex-specific changes in various parameters of HDL-CEC were found in patients with severe AS. Sex-based modifications in HDL functionality by HDL-CEC might account for the reduced burden of calcification in women vs. men with severe AS. Therefore, future studies should target sex-related pathways in AS to help to improve understanding and treatment of AS. Sex specifc differences in AVC and differences associated with HDL function in men and women with severe AS. When compared to men, women had higher preβ-HDL and α-HDL migrating particles, higher cholesterol efflux to HDL, and higher lecithin cholesterol acyl transferase (LCAT) activity, possibly indicating that improved reverse cholesterol transport may be protective against worsened calcification.

    Abstract The number of reproductive age women with valvular heart disease is rising and accounts for one third of all heart disease among pregnant women. Severe, symptomatic left-sided cardiac lesions, particularly mitral and aortic stenosis, and mechanical heart valves, are associated with adverse maternal and fetal outcomes. Decreasing maternal and fetal risk requires shared decision-making among patients and the heart team, consisting of obstetricians, maternal-fetal medicine subspecialists, and cardiologists.

    Abstract COVID-19 infection triggers a heightened inflammatory response which in turn, increases thrombosis and thromboembolism. Microvascular thrombosis has been detected in various tissue beds which may account for some of the multi-system organ dysfunction associated with COVID-19. Additional research is needed to understand which prophylactic and therapeutic drug regimens are best for the prevention and treatment of thrombotic complications of COVID-19.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Cardiovascular disease is an escalating cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. Women are at risk for acute myocardial infarction (MI), and more are living with risk factors for ischemic heart disease (IHD). The purpose of this review is to describe the evaluation and management of women at risk for and diagnosed with IHD in pregnancy.
    Recent findings: Pregnancy can provoke MI which has been estimated as occurring in 1.5-10/100, 000 deliveries or 1/12,400 hospitalizations, with a high inpatient mortality rate of approximately 5-7%. An invasive strategy may or may not be preferred, but fetal radiation exposure is less of a concern in comparison to maternal mortality. Common medications used to treat IHD may be continued successfully during pregnancy and lactation, including aspirin, which has an emerging role in pregnancy to prevent preeclampsia, preterm labor, and maternal mortality. Hemodynamics can be modulated during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum to mitigate risk for acute decompensation in women with IHD. Cardiologists can successfully manage IHD in pregnancy with obstetric partners and should engage women in a lifetime of cardiovascular care.

    Abstract Background: Outcomes of individuals with adult congenital heart disease who are socioeconomically disadvantaged and cared for in cardio-obstetrical programs, are lacking.
    Objective: This study aimed to describe the clinical characteristics, maternal pregnancy outcomes, and contraceptive uptake in individuals with adult congenital heart disease in an urban cardio-obstetrical program.
    Study design: Retrospective data were collected for individuals with adult congenital heart disease seen in the Maternal Fetal Medicine-Cardiology Joint Program at Montefiore Health System between 2015 and 2021 and compared using modified World Health Organization class I, II vs the modified World Health Organization class ≥II/III.
    Results: Over 90% of individuals with adult congenital heart disease were pregnant at the time of referral. Modified World Health Organization class I, II (n=77, 62.4% Black or Hispanic/Latina) had a total of 94 pregnancies and modified World Health Organization class ≥II/III (n=49, 49.0% Black or Hispanic/Latina) had a total of 56 pregnancies. Over 25% of individuals in each group had a body mass index ≥30 (P=.78), and very low summary socioeconomic scores. Modified World Health Organization class ≥II/III were more likely to be anticoagulated in the first trimester than modified World Health Organization class I, II (10.7% vs 0.0%, P=.002) and throughout pregnancy (14.3% vs 3.2% P=.02). Modified World Health Organization class ≥II/III were more likely to require arterial monitoring during delivery than modified World Health Organization class I, II (14.3% vs 0.0%, P=.001) or delivery under general anesthesia (8.9% vs 1.1%, P=.03) but had a comparable frequency of cesarean delivery (35.8% vs 41.3%, P=.68). There were no in-hospital maternal deaths. There was no difference in the type of contraception recommended by modified World Health Organization class, however, modified World Health Organization class ≥II/III were more likely to receive long-acting types or permanent sterilization (35.6% vs 54.6%, P=.045).
    Conclusion: In a socioeconomically disadvantaged cohort with adult congenital heart disease from a historically marginalized community, those with modified World Health Organization class ≥II/III had more complex antepartum and intrapartum needs but similar maternal and obstetrical outcomes as modified World Health Organization class I, II. The multidisciplinary approach offered by a cardio-obstetrics program may contribute to successful outcomes in this high-risk cohort, and these data are hypothesis-generating.
