Usefulness of the INTERMACS scale for predicting outcomes after urgent heart transplantation
(Elsevier, 2011)
[Abstract] Introduction and objectives. Our aim was to assess the prognostic value of the INTERMACS (Interagency Registry for Mechanically Assisted Circulatory Support) scale in patients undergoing urgent heart transplantation ...
Differences in outcome of heart failure with preserved or depressed systolic function in patients older than 70 years who receive beta blockers
(Elsevier, 2011-10-14)
[Abstract] Introduction and objectives. Most studies have shown that prognosis of heart failure with preserved systolic function is as poor as that of heart failure with depressed systolic function, although these results ...
Chronic anemia in heart transplant patients: prevalence, risk factors, and prognostic significance
(Elsevier, 2007)
[Abstract] Introduction and objectives. Data on chronic anemia following heart transplantation (HT) are scarce and contradictory. Our aims were to determine the prevalence of chronic anemia after HT, to identify predisposing ...
Quinolone-related Achilles tendinopathy in heart transplant patients: incidence and risk factors
(Elsevier, 2008-01-08)
[Abstract] Background. A high incidence of Achilles tendinopathy—tendinitis or rupture—has been observed after quinolone treatment in lung and kidney transplant patients. In the absence of relevant published data, we aimed ...
Gene expression profiling for monitoring graft rejection in heart transplant recipients
(Elsevier, 2009-08-26)
[Abstract] Heart transplantation is a life-prolonging therapy for many patients with stage D heart failure and other forms of advanced heart disease. However, graft rejection and/or immunosuppression-related side effects ...
Pitx2c is reactivated in the failing myocardium and stimulates Myf5 expression in cultured cardiomyocytes
(PLoS, 2014-03-04)
[Abstract] Background. Pitx2 (paired-like homeodomain 2 transcription factor) is crucial for heart development, but its role in heart failure (HF) remains uncertain. The present study lays the groundwork implicating Pitx2 ...
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 ...
