Performance of gene-expression profiling test score variability to predict future clinical events in heart transplant recipients
(BioMed Central, 2015-10-09)
[Abstract]
Background. A single non-invasive gene expression profiling (GEP) test (AlloMap®) is often used to discriminate if a heart transplant recipient is at a low risk of acute cellular rejection at time of testing. ...
Clinical evaluation of rosuvastatin in heart transplant patients with hypercholesterolemia and therapeutic failure of other statin regimens: short-term and long-term efficacy and safety results
(Wiley, 2015-04-23)
[Abstract] We conducted an observational study of 30 heart transplant recipients with serum low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) >100 mg/dl despite previous statin therapy, who were treated with rosuvastatin 10 mg ...
Validation of a clinical-grade assay to measure donor-derived cell-free DNA in solid organ transplant recipients
(Elsevier para American Society for Investigative Pathology and the Association for Molecular Pathology, 2016-10-07)
[Abstract] The use of circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) as a biomarker in transplant recipients offers advantages over invasive tissue biopsy as a quantitative measure for detection of transplant rejection and immunosuppression ...
Role of NOD1 in heart failure progression via regulation of Ca2+ handling
(Elsevier para American College of Cardiology Foundation, 2017-01-23)
Analysis of mitochondrial proteins in the surviving myocardium after ischemia identifies mitochondrial pyruvate carrier expression as possible mediator of tissue
(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2016-01-01)
Analysis of variants in the HCN4 gene and in three single nucleotide polymorphisms of the CYP3A4 gene for association with ivabradine reduction in heart rate: a preliminary report
(Via Médica, 2016)
[Abstract] Background: Ivabradine, a selective bradycardic drug, inhibits the If. In patients with heart failure (HF), ivabradine reduces the risk of rehospitalization and mortality. The average heart rate (HR) reduction ...
Polymorphisms in genes related to the complement system and antibody-mediated cardiac allograft rejection
(Elsevier, 2017-07-15)
[Abstract] Background. Heart transplantation (HT) is a life-saving treatment for patients with end-stage heart failure. One of the main problems after HT is the humoral response termed antibody-mediated rejection (AMR). ...
Performance of prognostic risk scores in chronic heart failure patients enrolled in the European Society of Cardiology Heart Failure long-term registry
(Elsevier, 2018-06)
[Abstract] Objectives. This study compared the performance of major heart failure (HF) risk models in predicting mortality and examined their utilization using data from a contemporary multinational registry.
Background. ...
Atlas of the clinical genetics of human dilated cardiomyopathy
(Oxford para European Society of Cardiology, 2014-08-27)
[Abstract] Aim. Numerous genes are known to cause dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). However, until now technological limitations have hindered elucidation of the contribution of all clinically relevant disease genes to DCM ...
