Attenuation of Myeloid Specific TGF β Signaling Induces Inflammatory Cerebrovascular Disease and Stroke.
Conclusions: Our studies show that TGFβ signaling in myeloid cells is required for maintenance of vascular health, and provide insight into inflammation-mediated cerebrovascular disease and stroke. PMID: 29051340 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Role of Doppler Echocardiography for Cardiac Output Assessment in Fontan Patients
Conclusion Doppler SVI correlated with CMRI SVI in patients with systemic LV and systemic RV. The association between output measures (SVI and CI) and FAD were seen only in single LV patients (single RV patients not assessed for this outcome due to small numbers). An association between low Doppler CI and Fontan failure was suggested in a small number of single LV patients.

Pathophysiologic role of ischemia reperfusion injury: a review
Publication date: Available online 19 June 2017 Source:Journal of Indian College of Cardiology Author(s): Vishal Kumar Vishwakarma, Prabhat Kumar Upadhyay, Jeetendra Kumar Gupta, Harlokesh Narayan Yadav Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is the major cause of morbidity and mortality all over the world. World health organization (WHO) in 2002 assumed that IHD may be the major leading cause of death by 2020. An estimated 17 million people died from cardiovascular diseases (CVS) globally. Of these deaths, 7 million people died by ischemia heart disease and 6.2 million by stroke. Ischemia is defined as an insufficient supply of the...

Is the Hepatic Factor a miRNA that maintains the integrity of pulmonary microvasculature by inhibiting the Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor?
Authors: Vettukattil JJ Abstract The "hepatic factor," a molecule or group of molecules present in the hepatic venous blood, essential for the prevention of the development of pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) and right-to-left shunting has been a conceptual enigma in the understanding of many related conditions. Patients with various forms of liver diseases including acute hepatic failure, and others with normal hepatic function like hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), inflammatory and parasitic disorders, cardiogenic hepatopulmonary syndrome (cHPS) and skin disorders like Dyskeratosis congeni...

Hemocompatibility-Related Outcomes in the MOMENTUM 3 Trial at 6 Months: A Randomized Controlled Study of a Fully Magnetically Levitated Pump in Advanced Heart Failure.
CONCLUSIONS : In this secondary analysis of the MOMENTUM 3 trial, the HM3 LVAS demonstrated greater freedom from HRAEs in comparison with the HMII LVAS at 6 months.

Effect of Milrinone Infusion on Pulmonary Vasculature and Stroke Work Indices: A Single-Center Retrospective Analysis in 69 Patients Awaiting Cardiac Transplantation
ConclusionMilrinone improved left ventricular stroke work indices to a greater extent than right ventricular stroke work indices and had beneficial effects on right ventricular net input impedance, predominantly via augmentation of left ventricular stroke volume and passive unloading of the pulmonary circuit. Patients who had the worst biventricular performance benefited the most from chronic milrinone infusion.

Dynamic Changes in Aortic Vascular Stiffness in Patients Bridged to Transplant  With Continuous-Flow Left Ventricular Assist Devices
Conclusions Aortic stiffness is markedly increased immediately post-OHT among patients bridged with CF-LVADs, with attenuation of this increased stiffness over the first year after transplant. These results suggest that aortic vascular properties are dynamic and may be influenced by alterations in flow pulsatility. As more patients are supported with CF-LVADs and as newer pump technology attempts to modulate pulsatility, further research examining the role of alterations in flow patterns on vascular function and the potential resultant systemic sequelae are needed.

Thirty years of heart transplantation at the University Medical Centre Utrecht.
CONCLUSION: Over the past 30 years, patient and donor demographics and underlying diseases have shifted substantially. Furthermore, the increase in waiting time due to lack of available donor hearts has led to a rise in the use of LVADs as bridge to transplant. Importantly, an improvement in survival rates is found over time which could be explained by better immunosuppressive therapy and improvements in follow-up care.

Relationship between aetiology and left ventricular systolic dysfunction in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Conclusions In adults with HCM, LV systolic dysfunction is more frequent in those with rare phenocopies. When combined with age at presentation, it is a marker for specific aetiologies and is associated with poorer long-term survival.

Reverse Right Ventricular Remodeling After Lung Transplantation in Patients With Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Under Combination Therapy of Targeted Medical Drugs.
CONCLUSIONS: Although severe RV dysfunction and dilation were observed in patients with end-stage PAH despite combination therapy of PAH-targeted drugs, RV function and morphology were improved after reduction of RV pressure load by LTx. PMID: 28100891 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Outcomes in Adult Fontan Patients with Atrial Tachyarrhythmias
Conclusions CA and FC operations are associated with less recurrence of atrial tachyarrhythmia compared with AAD. Atrial tachyarrhythmias are more likely to recur in patients with a longer history of the arrhythmia, and are associated with more adverse events. Early referral to a specialty center for these interventions should be considered.

Sickle Cell Disease with Cyanotic Congenital Heart Disease: Long-Term Outcomes in 5 Children.
Abstract Sickle cell disease is a risk factor for cerebrovascular accidents in the pediatric population. This risk is compounded by hypoxemia. Cyanotic congenital heart disease can expose patients to prolonged hypoxemia. To our knowledge, the long-term outcome of patients who have combined sickle cell and cyanotic congenital heart disease has not been reported. We retrospectively reviewed patient records at our institution and identified 5 patients (3 girls and 2 boys) who had both conditions. Their outcomes were uniformly poor: 4 died (age range, 12 mo-17 yr); 3 had documented cerebrovascular accidents; and 3 dev...
