Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Archives of the Balkan Medical Union, Vol 57, Iss 3, Pp 282-290 (2022)
Abstract: Introduction. Heart failure (HF) is a clinical syndrome caused by structural and/or functional cardiac abnormalities, resulting in a reduced cardiac output and/or elevated intracardiac pressures at rest or during stress. It is a progressive disease...
The Role of Preoperative Chronic Statin Therapy in Heart Transplant Receipts—A Retrospective Single-Center Cohort Study
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, Vol 20, Iss 3471, p 3471 (2023)
Abstract: Background: Statin therapy has been proven to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events. The objective of our retrospective study was to investigate the relationship between preoperative chronic administration of statins to postoperative 2-month heart t...
Elevated Levels of Neutrophil-to Monocyte Ratio Are Associated with the Initiation of Paroxysmal Documented Atrial Fibrillation in the First Two Months after Heart Transplantation: A Uni-Institutional Retrospective Study
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, Vol 10, Iss 81, p 81 (2023)
Abstract: Background: Heart transplantation represents the treatment for patients with end-stage heart failure (HF) being symptomatic despite optimal medical therapy. We investigated the role of NMR (neutrophil-to-monocyte ratio), NLR (neutrophil-to-lymphocyte r...
Developing the Tissue Engineered Heart Valve – a Descriptive Hemodynamic and Ultrasound in Vitro Characterization Study of Heart Valves in a Bioreactor
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Romanian Journal of Cardiology, Vol 31, Iss 3, Pp 555-563 (2021)
Abstract: The inherent limitations of current heart valve substitutes create the premise for the Tissue Engineered Heart Valve (TEHV), considered the perfect substitute. We aimed to compare in vitro hemodynamic performances of our TEHV, the conventional prosthet...
A Rare Case of Undifferentiated Pleomorphic Cardiac Sarcoma with Inflammatory Pattern
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Medicina, Vol 58, Iss 1009, p 1009 (2022)
Abstract: Cardiac undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) associated with fever and inflammatory response is an extremely rare condition. Herein, we report a rare case of cardiac UPS with unusual clinical presentation and inflammatory response. A 67-year-old ...
Preclinical Testing of Living Tissue-Engineered Heart Valves for Pediatric Patients, Challenges and Opportunities
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, Vol 8 (2021)
Abstract: Introduction: Pediatric patients with cardiac congenital diseases require heart valve implants that can grow with their natural somatic increase in size. Current artificial valves perform poorly in children and cannot grow; thus, living-tissue-engineer...
Different Manifestations in Familial Isolated Left Ventricular Non-compaction: Two Case Reports and Literature Review
Publication Type: Academic Journal
