Outcomes After Repeat Alcohol Septal Ablation in Patients With Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

JACC: Advances
Background: Alcohol septal ablation (ASA) may necessitate a repeat procedure if the obstructive myocardium is not sufficiently ablated; however, the outcomes after repeat ASA are not well studied.

Biventricular Pressure‐Volume Loop Analysis in an LVAD Patient Optimized With Impella RP Flex

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Right ventricular (RV) failure after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation is a serious complication which may necessitate temporary mechanical support in refractory cases. Here we describe a 63‐year‐old man with end‐stage ischemic cardiomyopathy and severe combined pre‐ and post‐capillary pulmonary hypertension who developed ...

The Quest for New Approaches in Myocarditis and Inflammatory Cardiomyopathy

, 2016
Myocarditis is a diverse group of heart-specific immune processes classified by clinical and histopathological manifestations. Up to 40% of dilated cardiomyopathy is associated with inflammation or viral infection.

Double Transeptal Puncture for SAPIEN M3 Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement: Initial Experience, Indications, and Technique

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The SAPIEN M3 system has been recently approved for transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR). The transeptal guide sheath is used to deploy the dock, which is completely released before inserting and deploying the M3 valve using the same femoral access, transeptal puncture (TSP) and guide sheath.

Assembly and Maintenance of Myofibrils in the Heart

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The assembly of actin and myosin to the paracrystalline arrangement of myofibrils in striated muscle, that is, heart and skeletal, has puzzled many a cell biologist. Different models, based on cultured cardiomyocytes, were proposed for the last 30 years to explain the sequence of events.

Disease acceptance and socio-familial support in late adolescents and young adults with cardiomyopathy: a pilot study

BMC Psychology
Background Cardiovascular disease acceptance has been little studied in late adolescents and young adults with cardiomyopathy and mostly regarded as integration into personal rather than social identity.

Increased Insulin Action, Glucose Metabolism and Muscle Function in Supervillin‐Knockout and Supervillin‐Mutant Mice

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We here describe mouse models with complementary homozygous Svil mutations. In skeletal muscle, Svil‐Mut mice express the Svil‐encoded N‐terminus fused to the βgal‐neo gene‐trap tag and lack the highly conserved archvillin C‐terminus; Svil‐KO mice lack expression of all known Svil‐encoded proteins; and Svil‐LoxP mice contain loxP sites for ...

A case report of adolescent myofibrillar myopathy due to a de novo R406W pathogenic variant in desmin with symptoms of “hypertrophic cardiomyopathy”

Heliyon
Objective: Myofibrillar myopathies (MFM) are a group of sporadic and inherited progressive skeletal muscle disorders that can lead to physical disability and premature death. To date, pathogenic variants in different genes are associated with MFM.
