Epicardial cardioverter defibrillator implantation due to post-fontan ventricular tachycardia
Long-term survival of patients submitted to a Fontan procedure is reduced because of arrhythmias. Late post-Fontan ventricular tachycardia is extremely rare, but it can be fatal. Consequently, the implantation of an implantable cardioverter defibrillator

MELD score predicts outcomes in patients with advanced heart failure: A longitudinal evaluation
Abstract Aims Advanced heart failure (AHF) is characterized by recurrent episodes of haemodynamic instability and frequent hospitalizations, leading to a progressive decline in quality of life and high mortality rates. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effect of the model for end‐stage liver disease (MELD) score and its variations in ...
