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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Determinants of Maximal Oxygen Uptake in Patients With Heart Failure
(Wiley Online Library, 2021-03-27)
[Abstract] Aims Maximum oxygen uptake (VO₂max) is an essential parameter to assess functional capacity of patients with heart failure (HF). We aimed to identify clinical factors that determine its value, as they have not ...
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 ...
Incidence, Risk Factors and Prognostic Impact of Cytomegalovirus Infection After Heart Transplantation
(Elsevier, 2020-03-20)
[Abstract] Introduction and objectives. To assess the risk factors of CMV infection after heart transplant (HT) and its influence on long-term prognosis.
Methods. We conducted a retrospective single-centre study of ...
In-hospital postoperative infection after heart transplantation: risk factors and development of a novel predictive score
(Wiley, 2019-05-11)
[Abstract] Introduction: Infection is one of the most significant complications following heart transplantation (HT). The aim of this study was to identify specific risk factors for early postoperative infections in HT ...
Cancer in patients with heart failure: incidence, risk factors and prognostic impact
(Elsevier, 2022-09-16)
[Abstract] Aims: To assess the incidence of cancer diagnosis and cancer-related mortality in patients with heart failure (HF).
Methods: Observational study based in a prospective cohort of patients with HF referred to ...
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). ...
