Indoleamine, 2-3 dioxygenase activity could be an early marker of graft rejection in heart transplantation
(Elsevier, 2012-11-10)
[Abstract] Background. The indoleamine, 2-3 dioxygenase (IDO) is an inducible intracellular enzyme with immunosuppressive effects mainly on lymphocyte populations. It has been postulated that indirect determination of IDO ...
Malignancy following heart transplantation: differences in incidence and prognosis between sexes – a multicenter cohort study
(Wiley Online Library, 2021-03-12)
[Abstract]
Male patients are at increased risk for developing malignancy postheart transplantation (HT); however, real incidence and prognosis in both genders remain unknown. The aim of this study was to assess differences ...
Prognostic value of discharge heart rate in acute heart failure patients: more relevant in atrial fibrillation?
(Elsevier, 2020-02)
[Abstract]
Aims.
The prognostic impact of heart rate (HR) in acute heart failure (AHF) patients is not well known especially in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients. The aim of the study was to evaluate the impact of admission ...
Circulating miR-181a-5p as a New Biomarker for Acute Cellular Rejection in Heart Transplantation
(Elsevier, 2020-06-07)
[Abstract] Background: Acute cellular rejection (ACR) is a major complication in heart transplantation (HTx). Endomyocardial biopsy is the reference method for early detection of ACR, but a new non-invasive approach is ...
The prognosis of noncutaneous, nonlymphomatous malignancy after heart transplantation: data from the spanish post-heart transplant tumour registry
(Elsevier, 2010-10-21)
[Abstract] Introduction. Malignancy is a major complication in the management of solid organ transplant patients. Skin cancers show a better prognosis than other neoplasms, but not all others are equal: Ideally, patient ...
Impact of short-term mechanical circulatory support with extracorporeal devices on postoperative outcomes after emergency heart transplantation: data from a multi-institutional Spanish cohort
(Elsevier, 2014-07-01)
[Abstract] Objectives.
We sought to investigate the potential impact of preoperative short-term mechanical circulatory support (MCS) with extracorporeal devices on postoperative outcomes after emergency heart transplantation ...
Effect of a training program for primary care physicians on the optimization of beta-blocker treatment in elderly patients with heart failure
(Elsevier, 2010)
[Abstract] Introduction and objectives. Underuse of beta-blockers may contribute to elevated mortality in chronic heart failure. The aim of this study was to determine whether a specific interventional training program for ...
Levosimendan Efficacy and Safety: 20 Years of SIMDAX in Clinical Use
(Wolters Kluwer, 2020-07)
[Abstract]
Levosimendan was first approved for clinical use in 2000, when authorization was granted by Swedish regulatory authorities for the hemodynamic stabilization of patients with acutely decompensated chronic heart ...
Serum potassium dynamics during acute heart failure hospitalization
(Springer, 2020-10-17)
[Abstract]
Background.
Available information about prognostic implications of potassium levels alteration in the setting of acute heart failure (AHF) is scarce.
Objectives.
We aim to describe the prevalence of ...
Cancer incidence in heart transplant recipients with previous neoplasia history
(Wiley, 2016-02-03)
[Abstract] Neoplasm history increases morbidity and mortality after solid organ transplantation and has disqualified patients from transplantation. Studies are needed to identify factors to be considered when deciding on ...
