Prognostic implications of one-year left ventricular systolic function after heart transplantation.

BACKGROUND The role of donor left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) at heart procurement has been extensively studied. However, there remain scarce data on how 1-year post-heart transplant (HTx) LVEF affects recipient outcomes. Our study seeks to address this gap. METHODOLOGY The OPTN database was analyzed for adu...

Hemodynamic forces provide incremental predictive value for left ventricular remodeling after STEMI.

PURPOSE This study aimed to determine the prognostic significance of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR)-derived Hemodynamic forces (HDF) parameters for adverse left ventricular remodeling (ALVR) in patients following ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and to compare their predictive value with conventiona...

Longitudinal Transcriptomic Analysis Identifies Persistent Immune-Related Signature Associated With Restrictive Left Ventricular Filling Patterns After Heart Transplantation.

BACKGROUND Diastolic dysfunction is a recognized chronic allograft complication, and a restrictive left ventricular filling pattern is associated with adverse outcomes. However, the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms remain unclear. METHODS AND RESULTS This study included 32 heart transplant recipients with a n...

Risk Factors and Prediction Models for Early and Long-Term Mortality Following Left Ventricular Assist Device Implantation

Introduction: Changes in the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) allocation system, coupled with declining donor availability, have contributed to a rising proportion of durable left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantations, particularly among patients with prior cardiac surgeries and those requiring multiple...

Association of Age With Guideline-Directed Medical Therapy and Left Ventricular Reverse Remodeling

Background: Comprehensive guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) remains underused in older patients with HFrEF, but whether the potential for treatment-associated myocardial recovery is preserved with advancing age remains uncertain. Objectives: To characterize age-related GDMT gaps and determine whether GDMT inten...

Assessment of the predictive value of right ventricular longitudinal strain and functional trends in right ventricular function of patients after LVAD implantation.

Right heart failure (RHF) remains a major determinant of morbidity and mortality following left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation. Right ventricular free wall strain (RVFWS) and global longitudinal strain (RVGLS) have emerged as promising echocardiographic markers, yet their long-term prognostic utility and...
