Right Ventricular Function on Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Long-Term Outcomes in Stable Heart Transplant Recipients

Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging

Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:In heart transplant recipients, right ventricular (RV) dysfunction may occur for a variety of reasons. Whether RV dysfunction in the stable phase after heart transplantation is associated with long-term adverse outcomes is unknown.

Cardiogenic Shock in Older Adults: A Focus on Age-Associated Risks and Approach to Management: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association

Circulation

Circulation, Ahead of Print. Cardiogenic shock continues to portend poor outcomes, conferring short-term mortality rates of 30% to 50% despite recent scientific advances. Older adults have been largely excluded from analyses of therapeutic options in patients with cardiogenic shock.

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

Circulation: Heart Failure

Circulation: Heart Failure, Ahead of Print. Centers performing at least 1 heart transplant or left ventricular assist device were classified as ATCs. Patient characteristics, outcomes, and procedural volume were compared among 3 cohorts: admissions to non-ATCs, admissions to ATCs, and transfers to ATCs.

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.

Using Stem Cell-derived Heart Muscle Cells to Advance Heart Regenerative Therapy

DAIC

The highly positive outcomes observed in primate models highlight the potential of this strategy. Heart attacks typically kill millions of cardiac muscle cells, leaving the heart in a weakened state. Cardiovascular diseases are still among the top causes of death worldwide, and especially prevalent in developed countries.

Novel Role for Cardiolipin as a Target of Therapy to Mitigate Myocardial Injury Caused by Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation

Circulation

Circulation, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:Cardiolipin is a mitochondrial-specific phospholipid that maintains integrity of the electron transport chain (ETC) and plays a central role in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury. Tafazzin is an enzyme that is required for cardiolipin maturation.
