Objective: Although left ventricular hypertrophy frequently accompanies end-stage renal disease, heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction (EF) is also observed in a subset of patients. In those patients kidney transplantation (KT) is generally avoided due to an increased risk of mortality in addition to the risks associated with HF. This prospective study was designed to follow patients with HF who were being prepared for KT.

GATA6 syndrome is a rare monogenic disorder caused by heterozygous variants in the gene , which controls the early embryonic differentiation of germ layers and the development of different organs. We present the results of the 7-year follow-up of a child with this syndrome as well as the following conditions: diabetes mellitus, exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, gallbladder atresia, and congenital heart disease (CHD). At birth, the patient was diagnosed with neonatal diabetes mellitus (NDM) associated with heart (mitral valve prolapse) and gastrointestinal abnormalities (gallbladder atresia).

: Perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) exerts a paracrine effect on blood vessels and our objective was to understand PVAT molecular signatures related to cardiovascular disease. : We studied two groups: those undergoing mitral valve repair/replacement (VR, n = 16) and coronary artery bypass graft (CABG, n = 38). VR donors did not have coronary artery disease, whereas CABG donors had advanced coronary artery disease.

We hypothesized that the ratio of early diastolic peak mitral flow velocity to early mitral annulus velocity (E/e' ratio), the widely used non-invasive LV diastolic dysfunction index, would show improvements following kidney transplantation (KT).
Materials And Methods: A total of 192 KT recipients who underwent echocardiography before KT and 2 years after KT were included this analysis.

Anaesthesia for kidney transplant in a patient with severe mitral regurgitation is a real challenge given the need for judicious haemodynamic management to avoid pulmonary oedema and maximise reperfusion of the transplanted organ. This is the first experience described in the literature of continuous spinal anaesthesia in a patient with chronic severe mitral regurgitation undergoing cadaver donor kidney transplant. Transthoracic echocardiography monitoring was used during the procedure to avoid aggravating the patient's mitral regurgitation.
