Giant cell myocarditis masquerading as orbital myositis with a rapid, fulminant course necessitating mechanical support and heart transplantation. [PDF]
, 2017 Giant cell myocarditis (GCM), a rapidly progressive inflammation of the myocardium, is associated with fulminant heart failure, refractory ventricular arrhythmias, and conduction system abnormalities.

Management of Mechanical Ventilation in Decompensated Heart Failure. [PDF]
, 2016 Mechanical ventilation (MV) is a life-saving intervention for respiratory failure, including decompensated congestive heart failure. MV can reduce ventricular preload and afterload, decrease extra-vascular lung water, and decrease the work of breathing ...

Hemodynamics of a bileaflet mechanical heart valve with different levels of dysfunction [PDF]
, 2017 Heart disease is one of leading causes of mortality worldwide. Healthy heart valves are key for proper heart function. When these valves dysfunction, a replacement is often necessary in severe cases.

Comparative study of wall shear stress at the ascending aorta for different mechanical heart valve prostheses [PDF]
, 2019 An experimental study is reported which investigates the wall shear stress (WSS) distribution in a transparent model of the human aorta comparing a bileaflet mechanical heart valve (BMHV) with a trileaflet mechanical heart valve (TMHV) in physiological ...
