Screening and Management of Coronary Artery Disease in Kidney Transplant Candidates
Diagnostics (Basel). 2023 Aug 20;13(16):2709. doi: 10.3390/diagnostics13162709.ABSTRACTCardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), especially in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients and during the first year after transplantation. For these reasons, and due to the shortage of organs available for transplant, it is of utmost importance to identify patients with a good life expectancy after transplant and minimize the transplant peri-operative risk. Various conditions, such as severe pulmonary diseases, recent myocardial infarction or stroke, and ...

Outcomes of Combined Heart-Kidney Transplantation in Older Recipients
CONCLUSION: Combined HKT is increasing in older recipients, and advanced age ≥65 should not preclude HKT.PMID:37396466 | PMC:PMC10314816 | DOI:10.1155/2023/4528828

Improved mortality and haemodynamics with milrinone in cardiogenic shock due to acute decompensated heart failure
ConclusionsThe use of milrinone compared with dobutamine in patients with ADHF-CS is associated with lower 30  day mortality and improved haemodynamics. These findings warrant further study in future randomized controlled trials.

Cardiac transplant and exercise cardiac rehabilitation
AbstractCardiac transplantation is the final therapeutic option for patients with end-stage heart failure. Most patients experience a favorable functional ability post-transplant. However, episodes of acute rejection, and multiple comorbidities such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease and cardiac allograft vasculopathy are common. The number of transplants has increased steadily over the past two decades with 3,817 operations performed in the United States in 2021. Patients have abnormal exercise physiologic responses related to surgical cardiac denervation, diastolic dysfunction, and the legacy of r...

Clonal Hematopoiesis and the Heart: a Toxic Relationship
Curr Oncol Rep. 2023 Mar 15. doi: 10.1007/s11912-023-01398-1. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPURPOSE OF REVIEW: Clonal hematopoiesis (CH) refers to the expansion of hematopoietic stem cell clones and their cellular progeny due to somatic mutations, mosaic chromosomal alterations (mCAs), or copy number variants which naturally accumulate with age. CH has been linked to increased risk of blood cancers, but CH has also been linked to adverse cardiovascular outcomes.RECENT FINDINGS: A combination of clinical outcome studies and mouse models have offered strong evidence that CH mutations either correlate with or cause atheroscle...

The Footprint of Kynurenine Pathway in Cardiovascular Diseases
Int J Tryptophan Res. 2022 Jun 28;15:11786469221096643. doi: 10.1177/11786469221096643. eCollection 2022.ABSTRACTKynurenine pathway is the main route of tryptophan metabolism and produces several metabolites with various biologic properties. It has been uncovered that several cardiovascular diseases are associated with the overactivation of kynurenine pathway and kynurenine and its metabolites have diagnostic and prognostic value in cardiovascular diseases. Furthermore, it was found that several kynurenine metabolites can differently affect cardiovascular health. For instance, preclinical studies have shown that kynurenine...

Chronic Rejection and Atherosclerosis in Post-Transplant Cardiovascular Mortality: Two Sides of the Same Coin
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) as defined by the American Heart Association includes ischaemic heart disease, stroke, heart failure and thromboembolism [1]. Solid organ transplantation is associated with an increased risk of CVD morbidity and mortality [2], a relationship which was first observed in the context of kidney transplantation by Foley in 1998 [3]. This manifests clinically as an increased rate of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), defined as the composite of cardiac death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke, unstable angina and heart failure [4,5].

ST elevation myocardial infarction and kidney transplant: A large cohort study: STEMI and renal transplant
CONCLUSION: STEMI is not an uncommon complication among KTR and is associated with significant mechanical complications. Improvement in cardiovascular risk factors might improve the STEMI rates among KTR.PMID:34565688 | DOI:10.1016/j.jjcc.2021.09.006
