The prognostic value of the Incremental Shuttle Walk Test in Chagas cardiomyopathy
CONCLUSIONS: The ISWT is a valuable tool with potential value in the prognostic evaluation of patients with ChC.Implications for rehabilitationPatients with Chagas cardiomyopathy showed functional impairment since the early stages of heart disease.The Incremental Shuttle Walk Test (ISWT) can be a valuable and inexpensive tool in the risk stratification of the patients.The ISWT distance is an independent predictor of adverse cardiovascular event.The ISWT distance of 440m is the optimal cut-off point in the identification of patients at risk for adverse cardiovascular events.PMID:34613873 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2021.1986580

Fifth Annual Pediatric Interagency Registry for Mechanical Circulatory Support (Pedimacs) Report
CONCLUSIONS: This Fifth Pedimacs Report demonstrates the continued robust growth of VADs in the pediatric community, now with over 1000 patients reported to the registry. The multiple available device types (PC, PP, IC) serve different populations with different pre-VAD risk profiles, which may account for differences in survival and AE between device types.PMID:34648810 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2021.10.001

Trans Fats On the Way Out? The FDA Moves to Ban Partially Hydrogenated Oils

Assessment of Hypertension, Guideline-Directed Counseling, and Outcomes in the ACHD Population
AbstractGuidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of hypertension were published by the American Heart Association (AHA) in 2017. The prevalence of hypertension in adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD) under these guidelines has yet to be characterized. We sought to assess the prevalence, impact, and provider response to hypertension under current guidelines. Data were obtained retrospectively from records of routine clinic visits over a 10 year period. Potential hypertension-related adverse outcomes including stroke, myocardial infarction, surgical intervention for aortic aneurysm, aortic dissection, atrial fibri...

CZecking heart failure in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (Czech HF-CKD): Study protocol
DISCUSSION: This trial will differ from others by: (1) detailed repeated hemodynamic assessment including arteriovenous access flow and (2) by careful assessment of adequate hydration to avoid confusion between HF and water overload.PMID:35676802 | DOI:10.1177/11297298221099843

Acute kidney injury and risk of cardiovascular outcomes: A nationwide cohort study
CONCLUSION: Non-selected patients aged 50 years or above with AKI during admission had significantly higher one-year risk of cardiovascular event or death, especially, but not only due to heart failure, independent of age and eGFR.PMID:36210122 | DOI:10.1016/j.nefroe.2022.06.003

Obesity and kidney transplantation
Curr Opin Organ Transplant. 2023 Feb 1. doi: 10.1097/MOT.0000000000001050. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPURPOSE OF REVIEW: Obesity has reached epidemic proportions in the United States. It is a risk factor for developing, among others, heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and chronic kidney disease (CKD), and thus a major public health concern and driver of healthcare costs. Although the prevalence of obesity in the CKD/end-stage kidney disease population is increasing, many obese patients are excluded from the benefit of kidney transplant based on their BMI alone. For this reason, we sought to review the experience th...
