Rapid Corticosteroid Withdrawal After Cardiac Transplantation Improves Outcomes

Clinical Transplantation, Volume 39, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Modern immunosuppressive regimens have been associated with lower rejection rates after heart transplantation (HTx), yet long‐term outcomes have remained limited by drug‐related complications. Since 2010, our program has implemented a protocolized corticosteroid withdrawal (CSW) strategy following induction with rabbit anti ...

Recent advances in multimodality imaging‐guided therapy in pericarditis

European Journal of Clinical Investigation, Volume 55, Issue 9, September 2025.
Multiple imaging targets have been identified as essential biomarkers to confirm pericardial thickening, edema, neovascularization, inflammation, fibrosis/calcification, cardiac tamponade physiology, and constriction. This novel approach is called imaging‐guided therapy, which guides anti‐inflammatory therapy, assesses treatment response, assists in ...

Impact of Breathing and Anatomical Constraints on Subxiphoid Epicardial Puncture: Insights From a Japanese Cohort

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 41, Issue 4, August 2025.
This study reveals that respiratory phase and anthropometric parameters significantly impact the xiphoid‐to‐pericardium distance, with expiration increasing the depth. These findings support the use of preprocedural ultrasound to optimize subxiphoid epicardial access, enhance safety, and inform needle selection based on individual anatomical ...
