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.

Off-pump coronary bypass grafting is safe and efficient in patients with left main disease and higher EuroScore [PDF]
Background: Summary Left main disease (LMD) and associated cardiac risk factors are often perceived as a limiting factor for the outcome of off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) grafting. In this study, we assess whether the outcome of OPCAB surgery is

Comparative performance of 7 risk prediction indices in patients hospitalized for heart failure. In this cohort of 1206 patients, the LENT index offered the greatest discrimination, calibration, and overall accuracy in predicting 30‐day composite all‐cause mortality or readmission following hospitalization for heart failure.

Combined Off-Pump Coronary Revascularization and Lung Resection
Concomittant severe coronary artery disease and lung malignancies occur rarely. Combined conventional coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with the use of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) with lung resection posses several perioperative and postoperative ...

Prognostic role of TAPSE to PASP ratio in outpatients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction
Abstract Aims Few data are available regarding the role of tricuspid annulus plane systolic excursion to pulmonary artery systolic pressure (TAPSE/PASP), a measurement of right ventricular to pulmonary artery coupling, in patients with chronic heart failure and left ventricular systolic dysfunction.

Saphenous Vein Graft Aneurysms: A Growing Problem? Presentation of Two Cases and Surgical Management
Background Saphenous vein graft aneurysm is a rare complication after coronary artery bypass grafting leading to reoperations. Case Description In two patients with giant aneurysms, the subclavian artery and femoral vein were cannulated. The

Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: The Zurich Experience
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is the surgical procedure of choice for treatment of multi-vessel coronary artery disease. The rising risk profile of the patients requiring isolated CABG and the economic pressure have prompted us to devise new operative strategies to treat these patients. Elimination of the cardiopulmonary bypass is one possible

Abstract Background Obesity is a known risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), yet an ‘obesity paradox’ has been observed in various CVD contexts. The impact of obesity on heart failure (HF) patients treated with a wearable cardioverter‐defibrillator (WCD) remains underexplored.

Cardiac troponins and volatile anaesthetics in coronary artery bypass graft surgery: A systematic review, meta-analysis and trial sequential analysis [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Reports from animal studies indicate that volatile anaesthetics protect the myocardium against the effects of acute ischaemia-reperfusion injury by reducing infarct size. This cardioprotective effect in the clinical setting of coronary artery
