Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement as a Bridge to Left Ventricular Assist Device Implantation

open access: yes, 2018
We describe a case of the pre-emptive use of transcatheter aortic valve replacement in a patient with end-stage ischemic cardiomyopathy and native aortic stenosis/aortic insufficiency as a bridge to left ventricular assist device implantation.

Structural and Functional Imaging of Motor Outcomes in Twins With Perinatal Stroke: A Case Report

open access: yesAnnals of the Child Neurology Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Perinatal arterial ischemic stroke (AIS) affects 1 in 4000 live births. Dystonia, affecting ~20% of children following AIS, is characterized by involuntary muscle contractions and abnormal movements. Why some develop dystonia post AIS, while others do not, remains unclear.

Bioinspired Crossmodal Tactile Sensory Nerve for High‐Accurate Object Recognition

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
An artificial crossmodal sensory neuron system (ACSNS) that combines a complementary memristor with high‐sensitivity pressure–temperature bimodal sensors, which integrate tactile perception, information storage, and neuromorphic computing. With the aid of machine learning, this ACSNS presents an improved accuracy of 96.67% in recognizing temperatures ...

The difficult discussion on the deactivation of implantable cardioverter devices at the end of life: a systematic review

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 733-760, April 2025.
Abstract Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) reliably prevent death due to life‐threatening arrhythmias; this may become less relevant in people with more severe heart failure who are reaching the end of life (EOL). This review aimed to explore the ICD deactivation process and identify ethical issues, especially around the initiation of ...

Socio‐economic inequalities and heart failure morbidity and mortality: A systematic review and data synthesis

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 927-941, April 2025.
Abstract Socio‐economic status (SES) has been associated with incident and prevalent heart failure (HF), as well as its morbidity and mortality. However, the precise nature of the relationship between SES and HF remains unclear due to inconsistent data. This study aims to provide a comprehensive assessment and data synthesis of the relationship between

Gut microbiota‐related modulation of immune mechanisms in post‐infarction remodelling and heart failure

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 942-954, April 2025.
Abstract The immune system has long been recognized as a key driver in the progression of heart failure (HF). However, clinical trials targeting immune effectors have consistently failed to improve patient outcome across different HF aetiologies. The activation of the immune system in HF is complex, involving a broad network of pro‐inflammatory and ...

MELD score predicts outcomes in patients with advanced heart failure: A longitudinal evaluation

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 839-847, April 2025.
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 ...

Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy: Literature review and red‐flag symptom clusters for each cardiology specialty

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 955-967, April 2025.
Abstract Wild‐type transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTRwt‐CM) is a progressive and infiltrative cardiac disorder that may cause fatal consequences if left untreated. The estimated survival time from diagnosis is approximately 3–6 years. Because of the non‐specificity of initial symptom manifestation and insufficient awareness among treating ...
