Right heart failure after left ventricular assist device: From mechanisms to treatments

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) therapy is a lifesaving option for patients with medical therapy-refractory advanced heart failure. Depending on the definition, 5–44% of people supported with an LVAD develop right heart failure (RHF), which is ...

Protect right: right ventricular failure prevention strategy for left ventricular assist device implantation

European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2020
Abstract Right ventricular failure imparts poor prognosis following left ventricular assist device implantation. We present a strategy for the primary prevention of right ventricular failure after left ventricular assist device implantation in a high-risk patient.

Circular RNA PTPN4 Contributes to Blood‐Brain Barrier Disruption during Early Epileptogenesis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Epileptic condition induces CircPTPN4 upregulation, which promotes ECE‐1 expression through competitive sequestration of miR‐145a‐5p. The elevated ECE‐1 catalyzes the ET‐1 production, leading to p38/MAPK pathway activation and subsequent downregulation of tight junction protein expression. This cascade results in increased BBB permeability and enhanced

Platelet Rubicon Bidirectional Regulation of GPVI and Integrin αIIbβ3 Signaling Mitigates Stroke Infarction Without Compromising Hemostasis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies Rubicon as a key platelet protein that bidirectionally regulates GPVI and integrin αIIbβ3 signaling. Platelet Rubicon protects against cerebral ischemia‐reperfusion injury by limiting infarction without increasing hemorrhage.

Straining With the Ventricular Assist Device and Right Ventricular Function

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2013
We read with great interest the paper by Grant et al. ([1][1]) in which they provide an analysis to support the use of strain imaging as a unique echocardiographic measure to predict right ventricular (RV) failure in patients undergoing left ventricular assist device (LVAD) placement.
