Abstract Autonomic nerves are crucial in cardiac function and pathology. However, data on the distribution of cholinergic and noradrenergic nerves in normal and pathologic human hearts is lacking. Nonfailing donor hearts were pressure‐perfusion fixed, imaged, and dissected. Left ventricular cardiomyopathy samples were also obtained.

Use of Aortic Valve Homografts for Aortic Valve Replacement [PDF]
One hundred sixty-nine patients underwent replacement of the aortic valve with an aortic valve homograft; of these patients 17 had concomitant commissurotomy or annuloplasty for an associated mitral valve lesion. Homografts were prepared by sterilization with beta-propiolactone solution and stored in Hanks' solution, or were prepared by sterilization ...

Abstract Aim Heart transplantation (HT) is frequently complicated by chronic kidney disease, of which tacrolimus‐related nephrotoxicity is an important cause. In kidney and liver transplant recipients, fast tacrolimus metabolism (defined as a low concentration‐to‐dose [C0/D] ratio), negatively affects kidney function.
