Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the predictive value machine perfusate analysis on graft outcome. Background: Ex situ perfusion (MP) is gaining increasing interest potentially repair injured organs and assess organ function. In field liver transplantation, however, no studies exist reliable prediction function during MP. Methods: We have used hypothermic oxygenated (HOPE) for donation after circulatory death (DCD) or extended criteria brain (DBD) human grafts last 7 years....
<h3>Importance</h3> Machine learning algorithms enable the automatic classification of cardiovascular diseases based on raw cardiac ultrasound imaging data. However, utility machine in distinguishing between takotsubo syndrome (TTS) and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has not been studied. <h3>Objectives</h3> To assess systems for discrimination TTS AMI. <h3>Design, Settings, Participants</h3> This cohort study included clinical data transthoracic echocardiogram results patients with AMI...

Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is associated with a substantial rate of adverse events. We sought to design machine learning (ML)-based model predict the risk in-hospital death and perform clustering TTS patients identify different profiles.
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) has been described as an infrequent cause of acute syndrome (ACS). Knowledge about the disease is still limited and SCAD might be underdiagnosed.Trends in incidence, presentation, angiographic appearance, management, outcomes over 25 years were analyzed.Patients with between 1997 2021 at University Hospital Zurich, Switzerland, included. Incidences assessed total numbers proportions ACS cases. Clinical data collected from medical records findings...
The clinical relevance of cardiac troponin (cTn) elevation in takotsubo syndrome (TTS) remains uncertain. present study sought to investigate the role elevations mortality prediction patients with Takotsubo (TTS).
Coronary artery ectasias and aneurysms (CAE/CAAs) are among the less common forms of coronary disease, with undefined long-term outcomes treatment strategies. To assess clinical characteristics, angiographic patterns, in patients CAE, CAA, or both. This 15-year (2006-2021) retrospective single-centre registry included 281 diagnosed CAE/CAA via invasive angiography. Major adverse cardiovascular events all-cause death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, unplanned ischaemia-driven...
Objectives Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a rare cause of acute syndrome and myocardial infarction. Accurate diagnosis crucial for appropriate management. This study aimed to compare late enhancement (LE) imaging using photon-counting detector (PCD)-CT with cardiac MRI in patients SCAD the phase during follow-up introduce novel approach visualizing extracellular volume (ECV) distribution myocardium. Materials Methods single-center prospective enrolled diagnosed invasive...
Abstract Cardiac alterations are frequently observed after acute neurological disorders. Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) represents an heart failure and is increasingly recognized as part of the spectrum cardiac complications A systematic investigation TTS patients with disorders has not been conducted yet. The aim study was to expand insights regarding disease entities triggering investigate clinical profile outcomes primary International Registry observational multicenter collaborative effort 45...
Ethnic disparities have been reported in cardiovascular disease. However, ethnic takotsubo syndrome (TTS) remain elusive. This study assessed differences clinical characteristics between Japanese and European TTS patients determined the impact of ethnicity on in-hospital outcomes.TTS Japan were enrolled from 10 hospitals Europe 32 participating International Takotsubo Registry. Clinical outcomes compared patients.A total 503 1670 included. older (72.6 ± 11.4 years vs. 68.0 12.0 years; p <...
Abstract Aims Acute pulmonary disorders are known physical triggers of takotsubo syndrome (TTS). This study aimed to investigate prevalence acute in patients with TTS and their impact on outcomes. Methods results Patients were enrolled from the International Takotsubo Registry screened for triggering factors comorbidities. categorized into three groups (acute trigger, chronic lung disease, no disease) compare clinical characteristics Of 1670 included TTS, 123 (7%) identified an 194 (12%) had...
Abstract Introduction Acute coronary syndromes (ACS) represent a substantial global healthcare challenge. In its most severe form, it can lead to out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Despite medical advancements, survival rates in OHCA patients remain low. Further, the prediction of outcomes these poses challenge all health care providers involved. This study aims at developing score with variables available on admission assess in-hospital mortality undergoing angiography. Method All due...
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an increasingly diagnosed cause of myocardial infarction with unclear pathophysiology. The aim the study was to test if vascular segments site SCAD present distinctive local anatomy and hemodynamic profiles.Coronary arteries spontaneously healed (confirmed by follow-up angiography) underwent three-dimensional reconstruction, morphometric analysis definition vessel curvature torsion, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations derivation...
Acute parvovirus B19 (B19V) infection in immunocompromised patients may lead to severe anemia. However, adult transplant recipients, B19V reactivations without anemia and low-level viremia are common. The impact of pediatric patients, with high risk primary infection, is investigated here. In a six-month period, 159 blood samples 54 liver recipients were tested for DNA by quantitative real-time PCR. Viremia was correlated immunosuppression compared rates recipients. detected 5/54 patients....
Abstract Background Left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) represents an alternative to oral anticoagulation for stroke prevention in patients with non‐valvular fibrillation (AF). While transoesophageal echocardiography is the current standard guiding LAAC procedures, several centers have employed fluoroscopic guidance alone. However, data on long‐term outcomes are lacking. Methods A total of 536 AF undergoing and available follow‐up were included retrospective, single‐center analysis....
Background: Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) and spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) are now increasingly recognized. Both conditions predominantly affect females; however, the exact pathophysiology remains unclear. Large multi-center databases can help elucidate underlying mechanism optimize treatments to improve outcomes by allowing us compare features of patients with TTS SCAD. Methods: were enrolled from International Registry compared SCAD Canadian Spontaneous Coronary Artery...
As numbers and complexity of percutaneous coronary interventions are constantly increasing, optimal radiation protection is required to ensure operator safety. Suspended systems (SRPS) protective scatter-radiation absorbing drapes (PAD) novel methods mitigate fluoroscopic scattered exposure. The aim the study was investigate effectiveness regarding a SRPS PAD in comparison with conventional protection.A total 229 cardiac catheterization procedures (N = 73), 82) standard 74) were...
Abstract Background Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is the most important cause of acute syndromes during pregnancy and in post-partum period involves a spontaneous intimal tear or intramural haematoma artery. Pregnancy-associated SCAD accounts for minority cases but associated with high rate adverse events. Case summary We present series three pregnancy-associated SCAD. All patients presented period, between 12 days 5 months after delivery. They all had additional conditions...
