Right Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction Before Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: Impact on 5-Year Follow-Up Outcomes.

The aim of this study was to assess the effect of right ventricular diastolic dysfunction on the results of 5-year follow-up of patients after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Patients were enrolled in this prospective observational study examined before planned CABG from 2017 to 2018. In addition to the baseline preoperative indicators and perioperative data, the initial parameters of the left and right ventricle (RV) systolic and diastolic function were assessed.

Adaptive post-COVID-19 immune response in female subjects of the Russian arctic region.

The Arctic region's unfavorable living conditions adversely affect the spread of infectious diseases, including COVID-19, This, in turn, can also lead to increased morbidity and mortality rates in the area due to a number of factors such as climate, environment, and high prevalence rate of pre-existing health issues like diabetes, obesity, and respiratory infections. These circumstances adversely affect maintaining the level of working capability. The aim of this paper is to investigate the ratio of immunocompetent cells involved in the adaptive post-COVID-19 immune response.

Novel Molecular Vehicle-Based Approach for Cardiac Cell Transplantation Leads to Rapid Electromechanical Graft-Host Coupling.

Myocardial remodeling is an inevitable risk factor for cardiac arrhythmias and can potentially be corrected with cell therapy. Although the generation of cardiac cells ex vivo is possible, specific approaches to cell replacement therapy remain unclear. On the one hand, adhesive myocyte cells must be viable and conjugated with the electromechanical syncytium of the recipient tissue, which is unattainable without an external scaffold substrate.

The Outcomes of Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery after 18 Months-Is There an Influence of the Initial Right Ventricle Diastolic Dysfunction?

Background: This study aimed to investigate the association of preoperative right heart filling indicators with outcomes after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) at an 18 month follow up.

Methods: Patients who underwent CABG at a single center were included in this study. In addition to the baseline preoperative indicators and perioperative data, initial parameters of the right ventricle (RV) systolic and diastolic function were assessed.

Indicators of the Right Ventricle Systolic and Diastolic Function 18 Months after Coronary Bypass Surgery.

Objective. Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is associated with increased mortality and morbidity. In previous studies, the parameters of RV systolic function were mainly assessed, while the dynamics of RV diastolic function after surgery was practically not studied.
