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. The patient required prolonged catecholamine support owing to poor cardiac function, and heart transplantation was considered.

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.

BACKGROUND:Imaging evaluation of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) remains challenging. LV global longitudinal strain did not add diagnostic value but was prognostic for composite end points of death, heart transplantation, or ventricular arrhythmia (log-rankP=0.04).CONCLUSIONS:In

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.

Heart attacks typically kill millions of cardiac muscle cells, leaving the heart in a weakened state. Since mammals cannot regenerate cardiac muscle cells on their own, heart transplants are currently the only clinically viable option for patients suffering (or likely to suffer) heart failure.

The primary composite endpoint included all-cause mortality, heart transplantation, or ventricular assist device implantation. The secondary endpoint was first heart failure admission. vs. 28.8%, p  < 0.001), more often had ischeemic cardiomyopathy (49.8% ml/min/1.73 m ml/min/1.73 m 76.5], p  < 0.001).

When treatable causes are excluded, studies to define causes are often abandoned, resulting in a diagnosis of end-stage idiopathic cardiomyopathy. The prevalence of causal genetic variants was significantly higher in end-stage than in previously reported ambulatory adult dilated cardiomyopathy cases (P&lt;0.001).

He was readmitted a few weeks later for a heart failure exacerbation, diuresed, and discharged again. She died before she could get a heart transplant.

Other interventions that can help are devices known as left ventricular assist devices which can mechanically augment the pumping function of the heart and in the most severe cases, there is even the option of heart transplantation which whilst a huge undertaking can completely change a person’s life.
