A silver lining in the VAD sky? Impact of a silver dressing on left ventricular assist device-associated driveline infections

JHLT Open
Background: Left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) constitute a mainstay of treatment for patients suffering from advanced heart failure. LVAD have been shown to significantly increase patient survival and quality of life.

Low pulse pressure as a predictor of death in patients with mild to advanced heart failure

, 2010
PubMedID: 20548803The prognostic value of pulse pressure has been investigated in heart-failure patients. Low pulse pressure in advanced heart failure and high pulse pressure in mild heart failure have been separately linked to increased mortality rates.

The role of left atrio-ventricular coupling index and left atrial ejection fraction in predicting onset of atrial fibrillation and adverse cardiac events in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

Cardiovascular Ultrasound
Background Several predictors of atrial fibrillation (AF) onset in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) have been proposed, however, all of them showed limited accuracy.

Cumulative effect of complete left bundle-branch block and chronic atrial fibrillation on 1-year mortality and hospitalization in patients with congestive heart failure. A report from the Italian network on congestive heart failure (in-CHF database).

, 2002
Background Many clinical variables have been proposed as prognostic factors in patients with congestive heart failure. Among these, complete left bundle-branch block and atrial fibrillation are known to impair significantly left ventricular performance ...

The brain in heart failure [PDF]

, 2004
After atrial fibrillation, heart failure is the second most frequent cardiac association of stroke. Deteriorating left ventricular systolic function appears to increase the risk of cardioembolic stroke in heart failure.

Apixaban in bridge to transplant and destination LVAD ‐ rationale and study design: the ApixiVAD trial

ESC Heart Failure
Aims Use of novel anticoagulation in mechanical circulatory support is controversial. We report the rationale and design of the ApixiVad pilot trial, a pilot study testing the safety of apixaban as an anticoagulant in patients bridged to transplant (BTT)

Outcomes related to hospital characteristics of heart transplant centers: A National Readmission Database analysis

JHLT Open
Background: This study showcases an analysis performed using the National Readmission Database (NRD) from 2016 to 2019 to analyze the impact of ownership, location, size, and teaching status of transplant centers on cardiac transplant outcomes.
