Article Synopsis
- The study investigates graft dysfunction (GD) after heart transplantation in patients who test negative for rejection through biopsy, using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) to identify potential rejection or inflammation.
- Among 34 heart transplant recipients with biopsy-negative GD, 16 showed left ventricular late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) patterns, indicating possible underlying heart issues, with those exhibiting LGE experiencing GD symptoms and greater hemodynamic changes.
- Despite differences in symptom presence and timing of GD onset between those with and without LGE, both groups showed similar improvement in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) over time, suggesting that GD may improve regardless of LGE status.
Background: There is limited insight into the epidemiological characteristics and effect of race and ethnicity on Primary Malignant Cardiac Tumors (PMCTs).
Objectives: Comparison of clinical characteristics and cancer-specific survival outcomes of major races in the United States from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End-Result (SEER) registry.
Methods: ICD-O-3 codes were used to identify PMCTs for the years 1975 to 2015.
Small patella syndrome presents with small or absent patellae and may result in pulmonary arterial hypertension, typically in children. A pathogenic canonical splice site variant, c.1021+1G>A in the T-box transcription factor 4 () gene, currently not included in commercial gene panel, was detected in an adult with pulmonary arterial hypertension and absent patellae.

Screening for DC with echocardiography is expensive and labor intensive and standard electrocardiography (ECG) is insensitive and non-specific. The performance and applicability of artificial intelligence-enabled electrocardiography (AI-ECG) for detection of DC is unknown.

The aim of this study was to assess the incidence and predictors of recurrent major arrhythmic events (MAEs) after hospital discharge in this patient population.
Methods And Results: We retrospectively analysed 156 patients (median age 44 years; 77% male) discharged with a diagnosis of acute myocarditis and LT-VA from 16 hospitals worldwide.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine the effect of CYP2C19 genotype on clinical outcomes in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) who predominantly underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), comparing those treated with ticagrelor or prasugrel versus clopidogrel.
Background: The effect of CYP2C19 genotype on treatment outcomes with ticagrelor or prasugrel compared with clopidogrel is unclear.
Methods: Databases through February 19, 2020, were searched for studies reporting the effect of CYP2C19 genotype on ischemic outcomes during ticagrelor or prasugrel versus clopidogrel treatment.
Reporting the sex of biological material is critical for transparency and reproducibility in science. This study examined the reporting of the sex of cells used in cardiovascular studies. Articles from 16 cardiovascular journals that publish peer-reviewed studies in cardiovascular physiology and pharmacology in the year 2018 were systematically reviewed using terms "cultured" and "cells.
