The Effects of Intervention on Heart Power in Aortic Coarctation [PDF]
Background In aortic coarctation, current guidelines recommend reducing pressure gradients that exceed given thresholds. From a physiological standpoint this should ideally improve the energy expenditure of the heart and thus prevent long term organ ...

The effects of sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors on the ‘forgotten’ right ventricle
Abstract With the progress in diagnosis, treatment and imaging techniques, there is a growing recognition that impaired right ventricular (RV) function profoundly affects the prognosis of patients with heart failure (HF), irrespective of their left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).

Abstract Aims The extent of irreversible cardiomyocyte necrosis after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a major determinant of residual left ventricular (LV) function and clinical outcome. Cell therapy based on CD34+ cells has emerged as an option to help repair the myocardium and to improve outcomes.

Background: Critical coarctation of the aorta is the most common congenital heart disease with ductal-dependent systemic circulation. In severe forms, this disease represents a critical condition, which can become life-threatening.

Assessment of anatomy of the aorta in patients with a coarctation of aorta
Background Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) is a congenital heart disease characterized by the narrowing of the aorta, resulting in reduced blood flow to the body and increased pressure in the left ventricle.

Balloon dilatation and stenting for aortic coarctation: a systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]
Background—There is no systematic assessment of available evidence on effectiveness and comparative effectiveness of balloon dilatation and stenting for aortic coarctation. Methods and Results—We systematically searched 4 online databases to identify and

Abstract Background Cardiac remodelling, a crucial aspect of heart failure, is commonly investigated in preclinical models by quantifying cardiomyocyte cross‐sectional area (CSA) and microvascular density (MVD) via histological methods, such as immunohistochemistry.

Abstract Background and Objectives Children with medical complexity (CMC) have chronic health conditions often associated with functional limitations. CMC comprise 1%–5% of the pediatric population. In Canada, their care accounts for one‐third of pediatric health spending.

A Case of Severe Asymptomatic Aortic Coarctation in an Adult Female
Coarctation of the aorta is typically a disease of childhood and early adulthood, and there is a reduced life expectancy in patients who have not undergone correction.

The role of aortic compliance in determination of coarctation severity: Lumped parameter modeling, in vitro study and clinical evaluation [PDF]
Early detection and accurate estimation of the extent of coarctation of the aorta (COA) is critical to long-term outcome. Peak-to-peak trans-coarctation pressure gradient (PKdP) higher than 20 mmHg is an indication for interventional/surgical repair ...
