Grapsa J, Praz F, Sorajja P, Cavalcante JL, Sitges M, Taramasso M, Piazza N, Messika-Zeitoun D, Michelena HI, Hamid N, Dreyfus J, Benfari G, Argulian E, Chieffo A, Tchetche D, Rudski L, Bax JJ, Stephan von Bardeleben R, Patterson T, Redwood S, Bapat VN, Nickenig G, Lurz P, Hausleiter J, Kodali S, Hahn RT, Maisano F, Enriquez-Sarano M
Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a highly prevalent and heterogeneous valvular disease, independently associated with excess mortality and high morbidity in all clinical contexts. TR is profoundly undertreated by surgery and is often discovered late in patients presenting with right-sided heart failure. To address the issue of undertreatment and poor clinical outcomes without intervention, numerous structural tricuspid interventional devices have been and are in development, a challenging process...

Less stick more carrot? Increasing the uptake of deposit contract financial incentives for physical activity: A randomized controlled trial.
de Buisonjé DR, Reijnders T, Cohen Rodrigues TR, Santhanam P, Kowatsch T, Breeman LD, Janssen VR, Kraaijenhagen RA, Kemps HMC, Evers AWM
Background: Financial incentives are a promising tool to help people increase their physical activity, but they are expensive to provide. Deposit contracts are a type of financial incentive in which participants pledge their own money. However, low uptake is a crucial obstacle to the large-scale implementation of deposit contracts. Therefore, we investigated whether (1) matching the deposit 1:1 (doubling what is deposited) and (2) allowing for customizable deposit amounts increased the uptake an...
