Background: Orthotopic Heart transplantation (OHT) is a definitive treatment for patients with advanced heart failure. Despite available evidence, recipients and some clinicians remain hesitant to accept organs from Increased Risk Donors (IRD). This study aims to report trends in acceptance of donors from IRD donors and long-term outcomes.

Article Synopsis
- * The study, called PROACTIVE-HF, assessed the safety and effectiveness of this monitoring method in 456 patients with chronic heart failure across various centers in the US and Europe.
- * Results showed a 6-month event rate of 0.15 hospitalizations or deaths per patient, far below the goal of 0.43, with a very high safety rate for the device.
In patients with right heart failure (RHF) and pulmonary hypertension (PH), classical teaching often advises cautious diuresis in the setting of 'preload dependence' to avoid renal injury and hemodynamic compromise. However, while this physiology may hold true in some clinical settings, such as acute ischemia with right ventricular infarction, it cannot necessarily be extended to PH-related RHF. Rather, in patients with precapillary PH and decompensated RHF, diuresis aimed to decongest the right heart and systemic venous system may be directly beneficial.
