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 ...
Real World Comparison of Spironolactone and Eplerenone in Patients With Heart Failure
(Elsevier, 2022-01-06)
[Abstract] Aims. In the absence of previous direct comparative studies, we aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of spironolactone and eplerenone in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) in a ...
Prevalence and severity of renal dysfunction among 1062 heart transplant patients according to criteria based on serum creatinine and estimated glomerular filtration rate: results from the CAPRI study
(Wiley, 2009-12-18)
[Abstract] Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is staged on the basis of glomerular filtration rate; generally, the MDRD study estimate, eGFR, is used. Renal dysfunction (RD) in heart transplant (HT) patients is often evaluated ...
Conversion from immediate-release tacrolimus to prolonged-release tacrolimus in stable heart transplant patients: a retrospective study
(Elsevier, 2019-07-01)
[Abstract]
Background
Lifelong adherence with post-transplant immunosuppression is challenging, with nonadherence associated with greater acute rejection (AR) risk.
Methods
This retrospective study evaluated conversion ...
Spanish heart transplant registry: 33rd official report of the Heart Failure Association of the Spanish Society of Cardiology
(Elsevier, 2022-07-16)
[Abstract] Introduction and objectives: This report updates the annual data of the Spanish Heart Transplant Registry with the procedures performed in 2021.
Methods: We describe the clinical profile, therapeutic ...
Preoperative INTERMACS profiles determine postoperative outcomes in critically ill patients undergoing emergency heart transplantation: analysis of the Spanish National Heart Transplant Registry
(American Heart Association, 2013-05-14)
[Abstract]
Background. Postoperative outcomes of patients with advanced heart failure undergoing ventricular assist device implantation are strongly influenced by their preoperative Interagency Registry for Mechanically ...
Risk factors associated with moderate-to-severe renal dysfunction among heart transplant patients: results from the CAPRI study
(Wiley, 2010-06-27)
[Abstract] The longer survival of patients with heart transplantation (HT) favors calcineurin inhibitor–related chronic kidney disease (CKD). It behoves to identify risk factors. At 14 Spanish centers, data on 1062 adult ...
Mortality after the first hospital admission for acute heart failure, de novo versus acutely decompensated heart failure with reduced ejection fraction
(Elsevier, 2023-04-21)
[Abstract] It is not clear to date whether a first admission in heart failure (HF) marks a worse evolution in patients not previously diagnosed with HF ("de novo HF") than those already diagnosed as outpatients ("acutely ...
Validation of the usefulness of 2-dimensional strain parameters to exclude acute rejection after heart transplantation: a multicenter study
(Elsevier, 2021-04)
[Abstract] Introduction and objectives: Two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography has emerged as a promising alternative to endomyocardial biopsy to rule out acute cellular rejection after orthotopic heart ...
