Abstract Background and aims The pulmonary artery pulsatility index (PAPi), that is, the pulmonary artery pulse pressure (PAPP) divided by the mean right atrial pressure (mRAP), is an increasingly used invasive index of right ventricular function. We sought to assess the prognostic impact of the PAPi in unselected patients with aortic stenosis (AS ...

Near-fatal kinking of mammary graft due to emphysematous lung disease
Left internal mammary artery grafting is commonly used in elective coronary artery bypass graft surgery. We report a near-fatal case with graft kinking upon sternal closure due to distended, emphysematous lungs impinging on the mammary graft.

A pilot study on DNA methylation changes for non‐invasive molecular diagnostics in heart failure
A liquid biopsy approach integrating the high‐resolution RRBS DNA methylation platform and network‐oriented strategy identified the hypomethylation of CPTA1, CKAP4, SPTB, SYT6, EIF2S2, and RAB11FIP1 genes as useful biomarkers in distinguishing between ischaemic and non‐ischaemic HF aetiologies.
