Veno-Arterial-Venous ECMO in a Patient Undergoing Dialysis and Having Cardiopulmonary Failure Due to COVID-19
COVID-19 can cause cardiomyopathy, a rare cardiovascular disorder that can lead to cardiogenic shock. The cardiac and respiratory symptoms may not occur simultaneously, and it is possible to switch to veno-arterial-venous... read more
Genetic Testing in Early-onset Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a globally prevalent cardiac arrhythmia with significant genetic underpinnings, as highlighted by recent large-scale genetic studies. A prominent clinical and genetic overlap exists between... read more
Using Deep Neural Networks for Survival Prediction in VA-ECMO
Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is a complex and high-risk life support modality used in severe cardiorespiratory failure. ECMO survival scores are used clinically for patient prognostication... read more
Left Ventricular Assist Device Implantation in Hypertrophic and Restrictive Cardiomyopathy
Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation in patients with advanced heart failure due to hypertrophic or restrictive cardiomyopathy (HCM/RCM) presents technical and physiologic challenges. We conducted a systematic... read more
Septic Cardiomyopathy
Septic cardiomyopathy is an important contributor to organ dysfunction in sepsis. Guided treatment of septic cardiomyopathy may affect patients' prognosis, especially when their cardiac index is substantially decreased. The... read more
Moderate Exercise and Oxygen Consumption in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
This randomized clinical trial assesses whether moderate-intensity exercise training, compared with usual activity, improves exercise capacity in adults with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. During a 5-year period, 728 adult... read more
