Vandenbriele C, MPembele R, Dannenberg L, Metzen D, Zako S, Helten C, et al.
Int J Cardiol
. 2023 Dec;
399:131690.
PMID: 38160912
Background: Impella™ is increasingly used in cardiogenic shock. However, thromboembolic and bleeding events are frequent during percutaneous mechanical circulatory support (pMCS). Objective: Therefore, we aimed to explore the optimal anticoagulation...

Geriatrics (Basel)
. 2023 Dec;
8(6).
PMID: 38132491
Background: The recommended chronic kidney disease (CKD) first-line diagnostic test is based on the creatinine-derived (estimated) glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Cystatin C use may provide a better assessment. Methods: We...

Spieker M, Sidabras J, Lagarden H, Christian L, Angendohr S, Zweck E, et al.
Eur Heart J Cardiovasc Imaging
. 2023 Dec;
25(5):589-598.
PMID: 38066677
Aims: In atrial functional mitral regurgitation (aFMR), a considerable proportion of patients displays a discrepancy between symptoms and echocardiographic findings at rest. Exercise testing plays a substantial role in assessing...

Voss F, Thevathasan T, Scholz K, Bottiger B, Scheiber D, Kabiri P, et al.
Resuscitation
. 2023 Dec;
194:110069.
PMID: 38061578
Background: Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains a frequent medical emergency with low survival rates even after a return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). Growing evidence supports formation of dedicated teams in...

Clin Res Cardiol
. 2023 Nov;
113(4):570-580.
PMID: 37982863
Background: Currently, use of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) in non-ischaemic cardiogenic shock (CS) is predominantly guided by shock-specific markers, and not by markers of cardiac function. We hypothesise that left...

Eur Heart J Cardiovasc Imaging
. 2023 Sep;
25(2):240-248.
PMID: 37740790
Aims: The extent of mitral regurgitation (MR) may vary depending on the haemodynamic situation; thus, exercise testing plays an important role in assessing the haemodynamic relevance of MR. We aim...

PMID: 37724611
Background: Large Impella systems (5.0 or 5.5; i.e., Impella 5+) (Abiomed Inc., Danvers, MA, USA) help achieve better clinical outcomes through relevant left ventricular unloading in acute cardiogenic shock (CS)....

Eur J Heart Fail
. 2023 Sep;
25(12):2252-2262.
PMID: 37702315
Aims: Small studies and observations suggested that exercise training may improve peak oxygen consumption (peakVO ) in patients with advanced heart failure and left ventricular assist device (LVAD). We investigated...
