Data sharing: A new editorial initiative of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors. Implications for the editors' network.

The International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) provides recommendations to improve the editorial standards and scientific quality of biomedical journals. These recommendations range from uniform technical requirements to more complex and elusive editorial issues including ethical aspects of the scientific process. Recently, registration of clinical trials, conflicts of interest disclosure, and new criteria for authorship -emphasizing the importance of responsibility and accountability-, have been proposed.

Safe right bundle branch block pattern during permanent right ventricular pacing: a case report.

We present the case of a 72-year-old male who underwent a permanent transvenous DDD pacemaker implantation for symptomatic complete heart block. The postoperative surface electrocardiogram (ECG) revealed a right bundle branch block (RBBB) pacing pattern with transition in lead V3 and left bundle branch block (LBBB) in D1, suggesting a malpositioned ventricular lead in the left heart. Malposition of a lead was ruled out by chest X-ray and echocardiogram confirming apical right ventricular pacing.

[Conflict of interest policies and disclosure requirements among European Society of Cardiology national cardiovascular journals].

Disclosure of potential conflicts of interest is used by biomedical journals to guarantee credibility and transparency of the scientific process. Conflict of interest disclosure, however, is not systematically nor consistently dealt with by journals. Recent joint editorial efforts paved the way towards the implementation of uniform vehicles for conflicts of interest disclosure.

Cardiogenic shock associated with reversible dilated cardiomyopathy during therapy with regular doses of venlafaxine.

We report a cardiac complication in a patient treated with regular doses of venlafaxine. A 49-year-old man with prior normal cardiac function and stable chronic hepatitis C was treated for a major depressive disorder with usual doses of venlafaxine during an 8-month period until the occurrence of a cardiogenic shock in a context of dilated cardiomyopathy. Three months after withdrawal of the drug, the left ventricular ejection fraction returned to normal values.

Oxidative stress implication after prolonged storage donor heart with blood versus crystalloid cardioplegia and reperfusion versus static storage.

Several factors are known to limit cardiac transplantation, such as number of donors, quality of cardiac graft preservation, and ischemia-reperfusion injury. Some mechanisms of reperfusion injury are now recognized; they include oxygen free radical (OFR), white blood cells activation, changes in calcium influx, alteration of microvascular blood flow, and sympathetic activation. The goal of this study was to assess the effects of two types of cardioplegia with long-term storage, either static or continuous perfusion, in 30 isolated sheep hearts as a model for heart transplantation.
