Case report of belt electrode-skeletal muscle electrical stimulation for acute heart failure with severe obesity: a novel therapeutic option for acute phase rehabilitation

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

However, information on its efficacy and safety in patients with heart failure remains limited. Case presentation A 43-year-old man with a body mass index of 41 kg/m 2 was admitted to our hospital for acute heart failure due to dilated cardiomyopathy. No adverse events were observed during B-SES.

Arrhythmias in children undergoing orthotopic heart transplantation

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Introduction Heart transplantation (HT) is the only treatment option in children with heart failure secondary to cardiomyopathies and non-reparable congenital heart diseases. Results We identified 27 children (66.7% On a median follow-up of 35.07 months (IQR: 13.13–111.87),

Black Families at Increased Risk of Inherited Heart Condition That Can Cause Heart Failure at a Young Age

DAIC

Researchers Elizabeth Jordan and Ray Hershberger, MD discuss the results of genetic tests that indicate a risk for dilated cardiomyopathy. The inherited heart condition often goes undiagnosed until it advances to heart failure, which is why it’s important to identify those at risk and begin treatment early.

Phenotypes in Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy was better known as Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia or ARVD and sometimes as Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy or ARVC earlier. A study published in JACC has compared the phenotypic expression and clinical outcomes in patients with arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy [2].

Waitlist Outcomes in Candidates With Rare Causes of Heart Failure After Implementation of the 2018 French Heart Allocation Scheme

Circulation: Heart Failure

Circulation: Heart Failure, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:In 2018, an algorithm-based allocation system for heart transplantation (HT) was implemented in France. The cumulative incidence of waitlist mortality estimated with competing risk analysis and incidence of transplantation were compared between diagnosis groups.

One step closer to the new frontiers of healthcare for cardiomyopathy patients

Heart BMJ

There were great advances in the treatment of heart failure (HF) over the past decades, characterised by the inclusion of ARNI and SGLT2 inhibitors in the latest guidelines. 1 The increasing repertoire of treatments makes it even more important to select those patients who will benefit the most from these therapies.

Long?term outcome after upgrade to cardiac resynchronization therapy: A propensity score?matched analysis

European Journal of Heart Failure

Abstract Aim Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a cornerstone in the management of chronic heart failure in patients with a broad or paced QRS. The primary composite endpoint included all-cause mortality, heart transplantation, or ventricular assist device implantation. ml/min/1.73 m ml/min/1.73 m ml/min/1.73 m
