ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 6, Page 4125-4139, December 2025.The aim of our study was to develop a more accurate staging system for hereditary ATTR patients currently receiving specific treatment. A staging system was created using as criteria: GLS ≤ −11%, NT‐proBNP ≤ 2,000 ng/L, and eGFR ≤ 65 mL/min. We managed to accurately stratify patients into three disease stages, significantly different in terms of ...

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 5, Page 3333-3342, October 2025.Abstract Aims Donation after circulatory death (DCD) has emerged as a strategy to increase the donor pool for heart transplantation (HT). Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) patients represent a discrete and unique population. We sought to explore the early outcomes of DCD‐HT compared with donation after brain death (DBD) HT in LVAD patients. Methods

Rapid reversal of vasoplegia with methylene blue in calcium channel blocker poisoning
African Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2020 Introduction: Calcium channel blockers (CCBs) are a potent class of medications that exert its action by blocking ‘L-type’ calcium channels. CCB overdose can be fatal even with appropriate and aggressive therapy. Death ensues from heart block, myocardial

Pediatric Transplantation, Volume 29, Issue 5, August 2025.ABSTRACT Background The lack of a consistent definition for hypotension in the pediatric population complicates the study of hypotension in pediatric kidney transplant recipients. Additionally, there is limited data to guide the management of hypotension in these patients both before and after transplantation.

High-Dose Hydroxocobalamin for Refractory Vasoplegia Post Cardiac Surgery
Cureus, 2022 Administration of high-dose hydroxocobalamin, or vitamin B12, is an emerging, targeted rescue therapy for the treatment of refractory vasoplegic shock. This is an uncommon but potentially life-threatening complication following cardiac surgery and carries a poor prognosis, particularly when patients fail to respond to first-line therapy with ...

Pericardial Effusion and Prostacyclin Analog Toxicity After Initiation of Sotatercept
Pulmonary Circulation, Volume 15, Issue 3, July 2025.ABSTRACT Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a disorder characterized by progressive remodeling of small pulmonary arteries, leading to increased pulmonary vascular resistance, right ventricular failure and premature death (1‐2). Over the past 30 years, significant advancements have been made in the treatment of PAH, including the recent approval ...

Perfusion Pressures and Weight Loss During Normothermic Machine Perfusion of Human Donor Livers
Artificial Organs, Volume 49, Issue 5, Page 820-830, May 2025.Normothermic machine perfusion is used to preserve and assess donor livers before transplantation. Nevertheless, it can lead to reduced liver weight, which might be masked by edema when high perfusion pressures are used. Therefore, we encourage using the lowest pressures possible to reach adequate flows and oxygen supply during perfusion.
