Background: Left ventricular (LV) volumes, ejection fraction (EF), and myocardial strain have been shown to be predictive of clinical subclinical heart disease. Automation LV functional assessment overcomes difficult technical challenges complexities, potentially decreasing inter-observer inter-center variability, reducing analysis times improving echocardiography laboratory throughput efficiency. We sought assess whether a fully automated function could reliably used in children young...
A positive crossmatch (+ XM) has traditionally been associated with adverse outcomes following pediatric heart transplantation. However, more recent studies suggest that favorable intermediate-term may be achieved despite a + XM. This study's hypothesis is children XM have similar long-term survival, but higher rate of complications such as rejection, coronary allograft vasculopathy (CAV), and infection, compared to patients negative (-) XM.The Pediatric Heart Transplant Society Registry...
