Present criteria for prophylactic ICD implantation: Insights from the EU-CERT-ICD (Comparative Effectiveness Research to Assess the Use of Primary ProphylacTic Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators in EUrope) project [PDF]
BACKGROUND. The clinical effectiveness of primary prevention implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) therapy is under debate. It is urgently needed to better identify patients who benefit from prophylactic ICD therapy. The EUropean Comparative Effectiveness Research to Assess the Use of Primary ProphylacTic Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators (

Serum Zinc Level in Dilated and Ischemic Cardiomyopathy [PDF]
Background: Serum trace element alteration has been reported in dilated and ischemic cardiomyopathy. The reports were controversial. We have studied serum Zinc level in cardiomyopathy patients in northern province of Mazandaran and compared them with ...

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is associated with dilated sinus of Valsalva: A case-control study
Background: We aimed to test the hypothesis that there is an association between hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and dilated aorta in a case-control, matched-design fashion. Methods: Of 65,843 studies done from November 2011 to December 2015, we found, after

Anticoagulation in Dilated Cardiomyopathy
Patients with dilated cardiomyopathy have multiple factors that predispose to thromboembolic events. However, reports of the incidence of thromboembolic events in this population vary widely. There has never been a controlled study of long-term anticoagulation among patients with congestive heart failure due to dilated cardiomyopathy. In this report we

High-Throughput Precision Phenotyping of Left Ventricular Hypertrophy with Cardiovascular Deep Learning [PDF]
Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) results from chronic remodeling caused by a broad range of systemic and cardiovascular disease including hypertension, aortic stenosis, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and cardiac amyloidosis. Early detection and characterization of LVH can significantly impact patient care but is limited by under-recognition of ...

Activation of PDGF Pathway Links LMNA Mutation to Dilated Cardiomyopathy
Lamin A/C (LMNA) is one of the most frequently mutated genes associated with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). DCM related to mutations in LMNA is a common inherited cardiomyopathy that is associated with systolic dysfunction and cardiac arrhythmias. Here we
