Artificial Intelligence Predicts Hospitalization for Acute Heart Failure Exacerbation in Patients Undergoing Myocardial Perfusion Imaging
Conclusion: Integrating SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging into an artificial intelligence–based risk assessment algorithm improves the prediction of HF hospitalization. The proposed method could enable early interventions to prevent HF hospitalizations, leading to improved patient care and better outcomes. (Source: Journal of Nuclear Medicine)

Characterization of heart rate variability in end-stage renal disease patients after kidney transplantation with recurrence quantification analysis
by Amara Hazel Solorio-Rivera, Mart ín Calderón-Juárez, Jesús Arellano-Martínez, Claudia Lerma, Gertrudis Hortensia González-Gómez Heart rate variability (HRV) is a noninvasive approach to studying the autonomic modulation of heart rate in experimental settings, such as active standing sympathetic stimulation. It is known that patients with end-stage renal disease during active standing have few changes in HRV dynamics, which are improved after hemodialysis. However, it is unknown whether the response to active standing is recovered after definitive treatment with kidney transplantation. This work aims to assess th...

Why VA-ECMO should not be used routinely in AMI-Cardiogenic Shock
This review summarizes the current evidence regarding efficacy and safety of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) in the setting of cardiogenic shock. Currently, there is evidence from 4 randomized controlled trials which all do not support a mortality benefit and increased complication rates by VA-ECMO. Based on current evidence, possible subgroups will be discussed and indications in selected very small patient groups be discussed. (Source: The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation)

Innovating to resolve the pressure-oxygenation-paradox created by VA-ECMO could improve outcomes for acute myocardial infarction and cardiogenic shock
VA-ECMO use is growing exponentially. Recent data shows no clinical benefit with routine use of VA-ECMO in acute myocardial infarction and shock, however clinical experience with ECMO is growing. Two key variables that may impact outcomes with ECMO in acute myocardial infarction and shock include it's effect on systemic pressure and oxygenation. We define the pressure-oxygenaton paradox of ECMO as a potential new avenue for therapeutic discovery. (Source: The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation)

Sacubitril-valsartan vs ACE/ARB in pediatric heart failure: A retrospective cohort study
The first angiotensin receptor/neprilysin inhibitor on the market, sacubitril-valsartan, has shown marked improvements in death and hospitalization for heart failure among adults, and is now approved for use in pediatric heart failure. While the ongoing PANORAMA-HF trial is evaluating the effectiveness of sacubitril-valsartan for pediatric patients with a failing systemic left ventricle, the enrollment criteria do not include the majority of pediatric heart failure patients. Additional studies are needed. (Source: The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation)
