Transendocardial injection of expanded autologous CD34+ cells after myocardial infarction: Design of the EXCELLENT trial

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1455-1463, April 2025.
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.

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1427-1436, April 2025.
Abstract Background and objectives Initially described as a benign acute cardiomyopathy, Takotsubo syndrome has been linked to elevated mortality rates. Emerging evidence suggests that unresolved myocardial inflammation may contribute to this adverse prognosis.

Ketogenic diet for infantile epileptic spasms

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Approximately half of all cases of Infantile Epileptic Spasms Syndrome (IESS) do not respond to vigabatrin and hormonal therapies. There is no clear consensus as to the second‐line therapy for IESS. Ketogenic diet (KD) has emerged as an effective treatment for certain drug‐resistant epilepsies and in many cases of IESS.

M-mode echocardiography in constrictive pericarditis

, 1985
M-mode echocardiograms from 40 patients with proven constrictive pericarditis and 40 subjects without evidence of cardiac disease were reviewed for features previously described in constrictive pericarditis. In this large series, no single feature of the
