Background: The role of epicardial fat (eFat)-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) in the pathogenesis atrial fibrillation (AF) has never been studied. We tested hypothesis that eFat-EVs transmit proinflammatory, profibrotic, and proarrhythmic molecules induce myopathy fibrillation. Methods: collected eFat specimens from patients with (n=32) without AF (n=30) during elective heart surgery. samples were grown as organ cultures, culture medium was every 2 days. then isolated purified medium,...
Pulmonary edema is a severe and often life-threatening condition. The diagnosis of pulmonary its quantification have great clinical significance yet can be difficult. A new technique based on thermodilution measurement using single indicator has recently been developed (PiCCO, Pulsion Medical Systems, AG Germany). This method allows the extravascular lung water thus quantify degree edema. not compared with gold standard, gravimetric water. Therefore, objective this study was to determine...
Background— The identification and isolation of human cardiac progenitor cells (hCPCs) offer new approaches for myocardial regeneration repair. Still, the optimal source influence patient characteristics on their number remain unclear. Using a novel method to isolate cells, we aimed define association between characteristics. Methods Results— We developed that produced viable (7×10 6 ±6.53×10 5 /g) from various tissue samples obtained during heart surgery or endomyocardial biopsies (113 94...
The repeated waves of the COVID-19 pandemic have highlighted necessity to optimize vaccine responses in immunocompromised populations. We investigated safety and immunogenicity a third, booster, dose Pfizer BNT162b2 heart transplant (HT) patients.
Background Severe lung injury with the development of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a serious complication cardiac surgery. The aim this study was to determine incidence, risk factors, and mortality ARDS following Methods We retrospectively analyze data in period between January 2005 March 2013. Results Of 6069 patients who underwent surgery during period, 37 developed postoperative period. incidence 0.61%, 40.5% (15 patients). Multivariate regression analysis identified...
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) is a frequent co-morbidity among patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact DM on early- and long-term outcomes who underwent isolated CABG. We performed an observational cohort in large tertiary medical center over period 11 years. All data from had undergone CABG surgery between 2004 2014 were obtained our departmental database. population included 2766 divided into two groups: Group I...
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Lung injury with development of the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a serious complication which can occur after major surgery, including cardiac surgery. <b><i>Objective:</i></b> The aim our study was to compare prevalence, risk factors, and mortality ARDS following surgery according American-European Consensus Conference (AECC) definition new Berlin ARDS. <b><i>Methods:</i></b>...
Background We aimed to evaluate the graft patency rate following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) left anterior descending (LAD) with proximal myocardial bridging (MB). While MB is generally a benign abnormality, ischemia, stunning, and sudden death have been reported. In symptomatic patients LAD systolic compression of >50%, positive for ischemic noninvasive testing noneffective optimal medical therapy, intervention could be indicated. Few studies CABG in The influence high flow...
Abstract Background Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) is a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and common among patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. The main objective of our study was to investigate the impact DM type 2, its treatment subgroups, on short- long-term mortality in with acute syndrome (ACS) who undergo CABG. Methods included 1307 enrolled from biennial Acute Coronary Syndrome Israeli Survey between 2000 2016, were hospitalized ACS underwent Of...
In March 2020, COVID-19 was announced as a global pandemic. The first patient connected to an ECMO device in Israel during that time. Since then, over 200 patients have required support due infection. present study is multi-institutional analysis of all requiring veno-venous (VV) Israel. aim characterize and compare the survivors deceased well establish risk factors for mortality.This retrospective conducted from 2020 2021 eleven twelve centers operating All on VV were included cohort....
Abstract Background Cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality following heart transplantation (HT). Reduced cardiovascular have been reported in non-HT patients treated with metformin. Given the high prevalence type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) HT patients, we investigated association between metformin therapy outcomes after HT. Methods The study population comprised 103 DM who had undergone 1994 2018 were prospectively followed-up. We excluded from 1...
