Heart transplantation for pediatric patients with malignant arrhythmias: Indications and Outcomes

HeartRhythm

Arrhythmias can lead to cardiac arrest (CA) and heart failure. When intractable, heart transplant (HTX) can become the only viable treatment. This rare, high-risk cohort has not been reported as a distinct group.

Analysis of survival time in patients receiving cardiac implantable devices after heart transplantation

HeartRhythm

Patients after orthotopic heart transplantation (OHT) are at risk of developing cardiac rhythm disturbances. Rarely, implantation of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) becomes necessary.1

European Journal of Heart Failure

CV, cardiovascular; HT, heart transplantation; ICU, intensive care unit; LVAD, left ventricular assist device. Aims Few studies have reported data on the optimal timing of left ventricular (LV) unloading during venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) for cardiac arrest or shock.

Abstract 4134590: Procedural Related Major Adverse Events of Cardiac Catheterization in Pediatric Patients with Cardiomyopathy: Insights from IMPACT Registry

Circulation

The most common MAE was arrhythmia, representing 46% of MAE, followed by cardiac arrest and bleeding each 20%. The association between a lower rate of MAE and EMB persisted in the multivariate model when those with heart transplant who had EMB were compared to those without heart transplant who did not have EMB p=0.001.

Impact of Advanced Therapy Centers on Characteristics and Outcomes of Heart Failure Admissions

Circulation: Heart Failure

Centers performing at least 1 heart transplant or left ventricular assist device were classified as ATCs. A secondary analysis evaluated outcomes for severe HF hospitalizations (cardiogenic shock, cardiac arrest, and mechanical ventilation).

MIBHS

Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) , a mechanical pump that helps the heart pump blood more effectively. Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator (ICD) to help manage dangerous heart rhythms. Heart Transplant may be considered in severe cases where other treatments have failed.

Heart Pump Improves Survival After Severe Heart Attacks

DAIC

Patients who suffered out-of-hospital cardiac arrest with coma and increased risk of brain damage were excluded from the trial. The trial enrolled 360 patients treated for STEMI with cardiogenic shock at 14 centers in Denmark, Germany and the United Kingdom. Among 355 patients who were included in the analysis, 58.5%
