Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi) infection is endemic in Latin America and is becoming a
worldwide health burden. It may lead to heterogeneous phenotypes. Early diagnosis of T …

Primary graft dysfunction (PGD) remains the leading cause of early mortality post-heart
transplantation. Despite improvements in mechanical circulatory support and critical care …

Background: Heart failure is a leading cause of death worldwide and is associated with the
rising prevalence of obesity, hypertension, and diabetes. O-GlcNAcylation (the attachment of …

Heart failure (HF) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality with more than 5.1 million
individuals affected in the USA. Ventricular tachyarrhythmias (VAs) including ventricular …

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the incidence, clinical impact, and predictors of late
ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) in left ventricular assist device (LVAD) recipients aiming to …

Electrical storm (ES) reflects life-threatening cardiac electrical instability with 3 or more
ventricular arrhythmia episodes within 24 hours. Identification of underlying arrhythmogenic …

Heart failure (HF) is associated with elevated sympathetic tone and mechanical load. Both
systems activate signaling transduction pathways that increase cardiac output, but …

The narrow therapeutic window of antiarrhythmic drugs (AADs) and their potential for lethal
proarrhythmia pose a unique clinical challenge without parallel in medical practice. 1 The …

Objectives: This study sought to determine if the presence of implantable cardioverter-
defibrillators (ICD) provided a mortality benefit during continuous-flow left ventricular assist …

Primary graft dysfunction (PGD) remains the main cause of early mortality following heart
transplantation despite several advances in donor preservation techniques and therapeutic …
