Reservoir Pressure Analysis in Group 2 Pulmonary Hypertension
In this study we aim to describe Pres in Group 2 isolated post-capillary (IPC) and combined pre and post-capillary (CPC) pulmonary hypertension (PH).

Comparison of household income in in-hospital outcomes after implantation of left ventricular assist device
CONCLUSION: In patients undergoing LVAD implantation nationwide, low-income was associated with increased comorbidity burden, younger age, and fewer in-hospital complications and all-cause mortality.PMID:34719291 | DOI:10.1177/03913988211056960

Prolonged Circulatory Arrest is Not Associated with Stroke or Mortality after Pulmonary Thromboendarterectomy
Patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) frequently present with extensive distal clot burden, which adds complexity to pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE). Complete endarterectomy often necessitates prolonged periods of hypothermic circulatory arrest (HCA), the ramifications of which are poorly understood. Objectives were to describe the association of HCA time with post-operative neurologic complications, operative mortality and other major morbidity after PTE.

RVOT-VTI/PASP Is a Novel Noninvasive Parameter of Pulmonary Artery Compliance and Improves After Treatment with Pulmonary Hypertension-Specific Therapy
Pulmonary artery compliance (PAC) is an independent predictor of mortality in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH). We have previously shown that the ratio of echocardiography derived right ventricular outflow tract velocity time integral (RVOT-VTI; an estimate of stroke volume) to pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) correlates with PAC measured by right heart catheterization. We sought to determine whether PH-specific therapy improves PAC in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).

Frequency of Cardiovascular Events and Effect on Survival in Liver Transplant Recipients for Cirrhosis Due to Alcoholic or Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis.
CONCLUSIONS: Cardiovascular events occurred with similar frequency in transplant recipients for nonalcoholic steatohepatitis or alcoholic cirrhosis. Patient survival was affected in both groups, but male patients with concomitant hepatitis C virus infection remained at higher risk for a cardiovascular event after liver transplant. Development of a cardiac evaluation protocol for liver transplant recipients could help monitor these patients. PMID: 26581602 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

High pulmonary vascular resistance in addition to low right ventricular stroke work index effectively predicts biventricular assist device requirement
In conclusion, high PVR in addition to low RVSWI effectively predicts BiVAD requirement.

Pediatric Single‐Lumen Cannula Venovenous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: A French Center Experience
This article details a technical note and a retrospective analysis of our experience in refractory hypoxemia. The retrospective study, from 2007 to 2011, included all pediatric and neonatal patients treated by single‐lumen cannula VV ECMO. The study was focused on pre‐ECMO patient characteristics and complications during ECMO course. During the last 5 years, 67 pediatric patients were assisted by this single‐lumen cannula VV ECMO. Sixty‐one patients (91%) were newborns. Thirty‐nine patients presented with meconium aspiration syndrome (58%), which was the most frequent etiology. Before cannulation, mean oxygenatio...
