Time-course of circulating cardiac and inflammatory biomarkers after Ventricular Assist Device implantation: Comparison between paediatric and adult patients

ConclusionsCardiac and inflammatory biomarkers were differently modified by VAD implant in children compared to adults. These preliminary data could suggest that different molecular pathways may underlie HF patho-physiology of the two groups, possibly paving the way to a specific and targeted therapeutic intervention in the near future.Graphical abstract
