Artificial Organs, Volume 47, Issue 1, Page 168-179, January 2023., 2023 Peak oxygen consumption, VO2peak, was associated with short‐term 3‐months‐rehospitalization in heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Exercise oscillatory ventilation (EOV), representing fluctuations of pulmonary artery pressure, can be observed in heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction with and without left ...

Target Flow-Pressure Operating Range for Designing a Failing Fontan Cavopulmonary Support Device [PDF]
, 2019 Fontan operation as the current standard of care for the palliation of single ventricle defects results in significant late complications. Using a mechanical circulatory device for the right circulation to serve the function of the missing subpulmonary ventricle could potentially stabilize the failing Fontan circulation.

Isolation of persistent left superior vena cava during atrial fibrillation ablation [PDF]
, 2015 Persistent left superior vena cava is a rarely seen anomaly but it may be an arrhythmogenic source for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Furthermore, the complex anatomicregion between the left superior vena cava and the pulmonary veins may leads to ...

Congenital Absence of Superior Vena Cava with no Manifestation of Superior Vena Cava Syndrome [PDF]
Korean Circulation Journal, 2016 Total absence of superior vena cava (SVC) is a very rare anomaly, and the patient usually suffers from SVC syndrome or conduction disturbances. We report an asymptomatic 27 year-old male, with complete absence of SVC. Transthoracic echocardiography and computed tomography demonstrated the absence of SVC and other congenital cardiac anomalies, but the ...
